“…Although the authors stated that these marginal effects were based on moderated probit regressions, they did not report on the interaction terms themselves. Obenauer (2023) found that the race-by-quality interaction was not significant, although it was in the direction reported by the original authors. Follow-up analyses showed that, while the interaction was significant for job experience, it was generally non-significant for other elements of resume quality.…”

“…As another example, some of the African-American names were more Arab-sounding, which might trigger anti-Arab biases, so Obenauer controlled for this as well. Obenauer (2023) found that job requirement specificity did indeed matter. As mentioned above, there was an experience by race interaction, but Obenauer (2023) found that this interaction only existed for postings that did not specify an experience requirement.…”

“…Obenauer (2023) found that job requirement specificity did indeed matter. As mentioned above, there was an experience by race interaction, but Obenauer (2023) found that this interaction only existed for postings that did not specify an experience requirement. He also found that much of what was attributed to African–American names could instead be attributed to Arab-soundingness of names.…”

“…One of the more cited papers in the history of research on discrimination in selection systems was conducted by economists Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan, published in 2004 in American Economic Review (Obenauer, 2023). Of particular interest were not only race differences in “callbacks” (i.e., applicants being invited for interviews) but also race differences in the effects of resume quality on callbacks.…”

While debates about a replication crisis in organization studies have taken up significant journal space over the past years, the issue of reproducibility has been mostly ignored. Reproducibility manifests when researchers draw the same conclusions from a reanalysis of the same dataset as used in the original study with the same (literal reproducibility) or superior (constructive reproducibility) data analytic techniques. Reproducibility studies are crucial for correcting accidental mistakes as well as intentional distortions during data preparation and analysis, thus allowing a science to be self-correcting. In the current editorial, we define reproducibility, provide published examples that illustrate the crucial role that reproducibility plays in scientific knowledge production, and offer findings from a review of papers published in the 2019 volumes of Academy of Management Journal and Journal of Management to explore how frequently different forms of reproducibility are employed in the top management outlet. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research and reporting practices and offer guidance for authors, reviewers, and editors.

Designing, executing, and publishing replication research: Best practices for successfully taking replication ideas from conceptualization to publication

Management scholars now recognize the important contribution that replication research can make to our field by examining the robustness of scientific findings and boundary conditions of previously tested relationships. Replications can also serve as an important tool for training doctoral students. Despite these strong arguments for conducting replication research, the field has been slow to respond to calls for increased use of replication. In part, this may be influenced by concerns that reviewers will discount the contribution of replication research. A less frequently discussed barrier to replication, however, is that due to a lack of replication training, engaging in this type of research constitutes embarking on unfamiliar territory. In this piece, I attempt to address the need for replication research training by providing researchers with a roadmap for taking replication ideas from conceptualization to publication, drawing on my own experience publishing replications and observations in the evolving replication literature.
