Abstract

Application of statistics in HR research has been briefly explained in our introductory chapter. It is now acknowledged, with statistics, we can ensure our HR research is more effective. Such research results can also help to take critical HR decisions at organization level. In this chapter, we have discussed on application of statistics in HR research in two critical areas, i.e., human resource planning (HRP) and performance management. Both in HRP and performance management, we can make extensive use of various mathematical, econometric, and statistical tools. Also, we have many established models. However, here our focus is restricted to only some of the simple statistical tools that can help in research in this two-critical human resource management areas. As the purpose of this chapter is to explain use of statistics in two major areas of HR research, it will cover only some selected areas of application. At the outset focus is on the specific research nitty-gritty, as these may help prospective researchers to get their basics clear, before they proceed for research in HRP and performance management areas.
