jmgmt-methods
Use when research design and measurement are the bottleneck for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — matching design to the theoretical claim, construct validity, common-method bias, endogeneity, multilevel structure, and (for meta-analyses) coding/artifact corrections. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (jmgmt-data-analysis).

# Research Design & Methods (jmgmt-methods)
## When to trigger
- The design may not match the theory's level, timing, or causal claim
- Data are single-source, single-wave, self-reported (common-method bias risk)
- The theory is causal but the design is cross-sectional/correlational
- Constructs lack established, validated measures
- A meta-analysis needs a defensible coding protocol and artifact-correction plan
- A reviewer says "the design cannot test this hypothesis" or "endogeneity is unaddressed"
## Match the design to the claim
JOM welcomes **all empirical methods** — survey, experiment, archival panel, multilevel field study, qualitative, and meta-analysis — and judges on *fit and rigor*, not a preferred method. JOM's **research-methods identity** (it explicitly covers research methods and runs methods-focused reviews) means design choices are scrutinized closely.
