Preparing for research in HR - suggestions?

sir,
my aim is to do research in hr field since iam having 10+yrs of experiance. i am going to join mba in hr from indragandhi national open university.at the same time i would like to prepare for research work in hr. i need suggestions

Am I correct in thinking that "hr" stands for "human resources?" If so, are you asking us for suggestions on topics to research, or suggestions on a letter requesting advice on topics to research?

thanks thaliak,

yes ur meaning about hr is absolutly correct.since i am workiong is there any distance programs in research studies?

I am sure there are. You should be able to find them by googling "Master's Human Resources Online." Alternately, you could search sites like gradschools.com for online graduate degree programs. gradschools.com/search-programs/online-programs/human-resou rces should show you several schools with online, graduate-level programs in human resources or similar fields, so I suspect you can find one that emphasize research or at least offers courses on research methods.

Having said that, I would be surprised if Indragandhi National Open University does not offer a course on research methods. To my understanding, research is a key part of graduate-level education. Since most graduate students need to do research, the university likely offers courses on it.

If you can't find a course on research methods, you could look for magazine articles that discuss research methods in human resources. By Googling "Human Resources Research Methods Abstract," I found several:

Does that help?

dear thaliak,
thanks for ur guidance. I hope the answer given by u has given me the boost to pursue further.
