Neal, Jennifer Watling; Neal, Zachary P.; VanDyke, Erika; Kornbluh, Mariah – American Journal of Evaluation, 2015
Qualitative data offer advantages to evaluators, including rich information about stakeholders' perspectives and experiences.

Fleming, Simon; Apps, Nathan; Harbon, Paul; Baldock, Clive – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2012
Efficient use of resources, including space, is critical in academic departments. Traditional space auditing simply assesses occupancy levels. We present a novel approach which assesses not just the extent to which space is used, but also how well it is used. We link space use quantitatively to key performance indicators in a research-intensive…

Dobrovolny, Jackie L.; Fuentes, Stephanie Christine G. – Performance Improvement, 2008
Evaluation is often avoided in human performance technology (HPT), but it is an essential and frequently catalytic activity that adds significant value to projects. Knowing how to approach an evaluation and whether to use qualitative, quantitative, or both methods makes evaluation much easier. In this article, we provide tools to help determine…

Ward, Sarah; Parkin, Godfrey; Medsker, Karen – Performance Improvement, 2006
How paradoxical that evaluation, the main purpose of which is to establish value, often seems to return to the lowest value of anything that people do! Too commonly, in the authors' experience, evaluation is avoided or paid as little attention as possible. Due to its typically unloved nature, evaluation can be trapped in a low-level, minimalist…

Relocation, an intraorganizational geographical transfer, can be used for human resource development (HRD) because of the positive developmental effects it can induce. It is, thus, important for HRD professionals to understand the implications of relocation to ensure it is used appropriately and effectively as an HRD technique. Research on…
