hrm-methods
Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript — matching multilevel structure, multi-source/multi-wave timing, construct validity, and common-method-bias defenses to the theoretical claim. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (hrm-data-analysis).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Research Design & Methods (hrm-methods) ## When to trigger - Predictor and outcome are single-source, single-wave, self-reported (common-method-bias risk) - The theory is cross-level (unit HR system → individual outcome) but data are one level - HR-system or practice constructs lack validated measures or a defended aggregation - The causal claim ("HPWS raises performance") rests on cross-sectional correlation - A reviewer says "the design cannot test this hypothesis," "CMB," or "HPWS adoption is endogenous" ## HRM accepts any rigorous design — the bar is fit, not method HRM welcomes qualitative, quantitative, meta-analytic, and critical-review work, exploratory or confirmatory, inductive/deductive/abductive. The judgment is **fit and rigor**, plus the journal's demand that the design support a **practice-relevant** conclusion. Match the design to the claim: | Theoretical claim | Design that earns it | |-------------------|----------------------| | HR practice/system → individual attitudes & behavior | Multi-source, multi-wave survey; predictor and outcome from different sources/times | | Unit HR system → individual outcomes (cross-level) | Nested data (employees in units); HLM-ap

What does the hrm-methods skill do?
Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript — matching multilevel structure, multi-source/multi-wave timing, construct validity, and common-method-bias defenses to the theoretical claim. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (hrm-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hrm-methods --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
