However, one challenge when analyzing these is navigate the diffuse constructs that comprise them so cohesive coherent research can be conducted. Failure do lead fragmented, ad hoc, idiosyncratic, limiting validity generalizability what concluded. The discussion explores how theory harnessed an organizing device selecting modeling in large-scale datasets. With a focus on academic demands–resources (AD-R) framework, we look at recent using data has drawn this conceptual lens bring cohesion coherence which considerable implications future practice.
