• Strategic implications of HR role management in a dynamic environment (2016) · doi

  Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional nature of the study precludes making inferences about causality and would need to be replicated with a longitudinal design before stronger inferences could be drawn with regard to the relationships between the variables.

  Keywords: inferences limitations implications cross sectional nature precludes making causality need replicated longitudinal design stronger drawn
• Work-personal life conflict and burnout in contact centers (2018) · doi

  Research limitations/implications The cross-sectional design and the reliance on self-report measures are the main limitations of this study, although no causality was claimed and method biases were controlled.

• Work organisation, bullying and intention to leave in the hospitality industry (2017) · doi

  Research limitations/implications The small sample may not be representative and the cross-sectional design and self-report data risk common method variance effects and preclude attributions of causality.

• Understanding the integrative approach to conflict management (2010) · doi

  Research limitations/implications The correlational design in some of the studies make conclusions about causality questionable, and future research should examine the dynamic conflict process in more detail.

• The robot in the window seat (2017) · doi

  Research limitations/implications The findings in this paper are limited by the fact that they are drawn from a review of the secondary literature rather than from primary research and are therefore speculative and anecdotal.

• Learning from web information seeking studies: some suggestions for LIS practitioners (2006) · doi

  Research limitations/implications Although the scope of findings discussed is limited to a selection considered most important by the author, this could be supplemented by further reviews to allow for new findings and insights into practical implications.
