尝试使用WIRS 3数据来评估人力资源管理和专业人事管理的影响，产生了令人难以置信的，不确定的和矛盾的结果，证明了新的宏观调查方法，劳资关系研究的严重局限性。然而，宏观调查有可能成为占主导地位的方法。具有实际意义的想象性见解将无法通过这种方式实现。在为时已晚之前，需要对研究工作进行重大调整。鉴于其悠久的传统，试图成为原创和有用的，英国的IR研究值得更好的东西。
Attempts to use WIRS 3 data to assess the impact of HRM and specialist personnel management have produced implausible, inconclusive and contradictory results–demonstrating the severe limitations of the new macro-survey approach to industrial relations research. Yet macro-surveys threaten to become the dominant methodology. Imaginative insights, with practical implications, will not be achieved in this way. A major reorientation of research effort is needed before it is too late. Given its long tradition, of attempting to be both original and useful, British IR research deserves something better.
