Two research studies, The Workers ' Compensation Experience: A Qualitative Exploration of Workers ' Beliefs Regarding the Impact of the Compensation System on Their Recovery and Rehabilitation and A Comparative Study between Army Civilian Workforce and Private Industry Workforce Workers ' Compensation Claims Management, pertaining to worker’s compensation will be analyzed. This paper will identify the statistical method used in each article, the strengths and weaknesses of each sampling method, instrument design and appropriate situations, strengths and weaknesses of each statistical approach, and which method works best in the Human Resources field.
Article Summary
The first article, The Workers ' Compensation Experience: A Qualitative Exploration of Workers ' Beliefs Regarding the Impact of the Compensation System on Their Recovery and Rehabilitation, uses qualitative research to investigate the psychosocial elements of workplace injury and disability. It also aims to understand the relationship between the compensation environment and injured workers and implies that the compensation environment may have a negative effect on the psychological wellbeing of injured workers. The study used ethnographic interviewing to gain insight from injured workers about the relationships included in the occupational areas. Perceived injustice emerged as a potentially important area for further research in enhancing the outcomes of the compensable injury (Wall et al. 2009).
The second article, A Comparative Study between Army Civilian Workforce and Private Industry Workforce Workers ' Compensation Claims Management, uses quantitative research to compare the worker’s compensation case management processes between the Army civilian workforce and the private sector in an effort to improve the Army’s current processes and cut worker’s compensation expenditures. The study reviews three main areas, including the
