Description
Summary:Navigating institutional ethical considerations processes often can be complex and daunting, especially for a student undertaking their first research project. Having a clear understanding of the importance of ethics in research can help streamline the process and ensure that your research is conducted ethically and in compliance with institutional guidelines. This How-to Guide initially explains what research ethics are in the context of business research and why they are an important and integral part of effective research design. It offers examples of research topics to allow students to work through scenarios and consider the related ethical issues. The premise of "Do no harm" is a constant throughout the discussion and encouragement to new researchers to consider what this could mean within the context of their own research topics. Overall, this How-to Guide emphasizes that research ethics should not be seen as a hurdle to get past to allow data to be gathered--more that it is part of the learning process that helps to develop researcher skills such as evidencing understanding of legal and regulatory boundaries to research as well as the ability to evidence boundaries and limitations to work due to its impact on others.
