Although generally considered underrepresented in management research, experiments have recently received increased attention from scholars in this domain. This trend has highlighted several limitations of current practices and approaches to experimental design. This symposium is designed to address some of these issues. More specifically, the presentations in this symposium are designed to advance three critical aspects of the experimental design process: (a) the validation of manipulations, (b) power analysis in experimental contexts, and (c) testing mediating effects models using experimental designs. The presenters provide state-of-the-method reviews, discuss the limitations of current practices, provide guidelines for application, and make recommendations on best practices for management scholars developing or reviewing experimental studies of organizational phenomena.
