The Neglected Science and Art of Quasi-Experimentation
指出组织学者未充分利用准实验方法，并总结了其五大优势：增强因果推断、构建时间理论、减少伦理困境、促进实践合作、利用情境解释矛盾发现，同时提供建议和案例指导未来研究。
Although quasi-experiments can facilitate causal inferences by combining good internal validity with high external validity, organizational scholars underutilize them. In this article, the authors aim to encourage the novel use of quasi-experimentation by identifying five of its key benefits: (a) strengthening causal inference when random assignment and controlled manipulation are not possible or ethical; (b) building better theories of time and temporal progression; (c) minimizing ethical dilemmas of harm, inequity, paternalism, and deception; (d) facilitating collaboration with practitioners; and (e) using context to explain conflicting findings. We offer advice and illustrative examples to guide future research, and provide recommendations for gaining access to organizations to open doors for collaborating on quasi-experiments.
