Basic knowledge of methodology of the research process and the possibilities and limitations of the various methods and techniques allows not only for achieving research objectives but also for their attainment in a proper and reliable way. The aim of this research is to determine the possibilities and limits of the use of different types of research methods in the field of human resource management in organizations. The study presents the used methods and techniques according to their reliability and shows limitations to the research process. The article presents the most popular research methods and techniques of human resources management in the commercial and public sectors on the basis of two journals – Personnel Management and Human Resources Management Journal.
