Paper Summary:

The paper defines single-case research, then presents and discusses the appropriate applications of the single-case research design. A single-subject design permits the performance of single subjects under an experimental condition or under experimental conditions to be reliably determined. Finally, the writer reviews two examples of the application of the single-case research design in the broad field of human resources.

From the Paper:

"There are a number of variations of the single-case research design. All of these variations on the single-vase research design, however, require, as a minimum, the development of a baseline state for the subject, the application of an intervention condition or treatment, and the measurement and analysis of the variation, if any, in the post intervention state of the subject in relation to the baseline state for the subject (Payton, 1996)."
