Issues raised by research designs in the workplace involving control groups
Research designs involving control groups require that some employees receive training while others do not. This apparent partiality can be problematic if training improves some employees' performance and not others. If the improved performance leads to promotions, raises, or improved well being, is it fair to train some employees and not others just for the purpose of evaluation? What are some of the issues that could be raised as a result of this practice?
