Grounded Theory Approach

As first responders in prisons, correctional officers are more exposed to suicides than the general population. The aim of the study was to explore how they experience the suicidal behavior of inmates and how they cope with potential psychological consequences of these experiences. We conducted interviews with 11 male correctional officers working in 12-h shifts, and analysed the data using a grounded theory approach. Results were conceptualised in The Model of a House, which consists of five parts representing different aspects of the experience. The model provides an overall understanding of how correctional officers experience the suicidal behavior of inmates.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the values consumers pursue and roles consumers partake in selfie practice. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research method was adopted. In-depth interviews were conducted with selfie enthusiasts. Data were analyzed with grounded theory approach. Findings Diverse activities and reflections pertaining to selfies were analyzed, which uncovered three consumer roles departmentalized and the nine values that selfie practice generates for consumers. The three roles are subject, photographer and user of selfies, and the roles are orchestrated together or selectively performed if necessary. In consequence of the interplay of performances and expectations of the roles, consumers pursue and gain four collaboratively created values and five individually created values. Originality/value Findings of the study expand the understanding of values of selfie practice and consumer roles in Web 2.0.

Insight Into

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the practical and philosophical issues of applying the grounded theory approach to qualitative research in Information Systems. Over the past decade, we have seen a substantial increase in qualitative research in general (Klein, Nissen and Hirschheim, 1991; Walsham, 1995; Markus, 1997; Myers, 1997; Myers and Walsham, 1998; Klein and Myers, 1999; Walsham and Sahay, 1999; Trauth and Jessup, 2000; Schultze, 2000) and also an increase in the use of grounded theory (Toraskar, 1991, Orlikowski, 1993, Urquhart, 1997, 1998, 1999a, 1999b; Adams and Sasse, 1999, Baskerville and Pries-Heje, 1999, Trauth, 2000). Over the past three years, the most frequent request I have had from postgraduates is for some insight into the ‘how-to’ of coding and grounded theory

The aim of this paper is to provide a discussion that is broad in both depth and breadth, about the concept of data saturation in Grounded Theory. It is expected that this knowledge will provide a helpful resource for (a) the novice researcher using a Grounded Theory approach, or for (b) graduate students currently enrolled in a qualitative research course, and for (c) instructors who teach or supervise qualitative research projects. The following topics are discussed in this paper: (1) definition of data saturation in Grounded Theory (GT); (2) factors pertaining to data saturation; (3) factors that hinder data saturation; (4) the relationship between theoretical sampling and data saturation; (5) the relationship between constant comparative and data saturation; and (6) illustrative examples of strategies used during data collection to maximize the components of rigor that Yonge and Stewin (1988) described as Credibility, Transferability or Fittingness, Dependability or Auditability, and Confirmability.

Grounded Theory Approach

De Grounded Theory Approach van Glaser en Strauss (1967) heeft vanaf het begin als methode van kwalitatief onderzoek de aandacht getrokken, met name in de sociale wetenschappen, maar ook in de verplegingswetenschap en gezondheidswetenschap. De belangstelling vanuit deze laatste disciplines heeft wellicht te maken met de onderzoeksthema's van Strauss, die vanaf begin 1960 wetenschappelijk onderdak vond bij de School of Nursing van de University of California in San Franscisco. Hij zette daar een succesvol onderzoeksprogramma op, waarin hij de methode verder ontwikkelde in uiteenlopende gezondheidszorgonderzoeken. Maar het leidde ook tot meer. Rond Strauss verzamelde zich een kring van kwalitatieve onderzoekers, waaronder Kathy Charmaz, Adele Clarke en Juliet Corbin, die elk in zijn voetsporen een eigen methode van kwalitatief onderzoek ontwikkelden (zie Charmaz, 2006; Clarke, 2005; Corbin, 2008). De methode die Strauss in Qualitative analysis for social scientists (1987) beschrijft, lijkt aan hun werkwijzen ten grondslag te liggen. Dat geldt bij uitstek voor Juliet Corbin, want zij schreef samen met Strauss een bewerking van dat boek onder de titel Basics of qualitative research. techniques and procedures for developing grounded theory, dat in 1990 verscheen. Een tweede editie volgde in 1998, waarover ik eerder een recensie schreef in KWALON (De Boer, 1999). Nu is een derde editie verschenen met Corbin als eerste auteur. Strauss, die in 1996 is overleden, wordt nog wel opgevoerd als tweede auteur. Deze derde editie van Basics of qualitative research verschilt in veel opzichten van de eerste en de tweede. De 'hand' of beter 'de geest' van Strauss lijkt steeds meer naar de achtergrond te verdwijnen. Corbin ontwikkelt in deze editie een geheel eigen interpretatie van de Grounded Theory Approach (GTA). Corbins aanpak kan kernachtig omschreven worden als een 'conceptbenadering': 'Concepts/themes are the foundation for the analytic method described in this book' (p. 53). Met het 'concept' als grondbeginsel bouwt Corbin haar benadering op, waarbij zij hier en daar op eclectische wijze elementen van de 'vroegere' Grounded Theory Approach inpast.

PurposeThis paper explores the challenges of conducting qualitative research from ELT (English Language Teaching) Ph.D. candidates' perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThe participants of the study consisted of 30 Iranian Ph.D. students majoring in ELT. The semi-structured interview was employed to investigate the heart of experiences, issues and concerns of participants with regard to conducting qualitative research (QLR) challenges. To analyze the collected data, the recorded interviews were transcribed, and then the grounded theory approach was employed (Charmaz, 2006).FindingsThe results revealed that the major challenges of the participants consist of the credibility of QLR in ELT contexts, hermeneutic and fuzzy nature of QLR, qualitative data analysis and interpretation, publishing qualitative findings and the system of measuring professors' productivity.Originality/valueThe findings may help professors, mainly EFL ones, in research mentoring and developing research syllabi for graduate students. In addition, it may motivate Ph.D. candidates to employ QLR methods in their research studies. The pedagogical and theoretical implications of the study are discussed at the end of the paper.

Grounded Theory Approach

Through learning about and doing job analysis, industrial–organizational (I-O) psychologists likely already possess skills and knowledge relevant to doing and understanding qualitative research. We'll illustrate this by showing similarities between common job analysis practices and one particular qualitative research approach likely to be relevant to organizational research: grounded theory. Grounded theory was “discovered” in 1967 by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Though Glaser and Strauss later split in their methodologies (an occurrence not unlike the varied approaches to job analysis), the core idea of grounded theory is to develop a new theory of some process or phenomenon from the “ground” up. In the grounded theory approach, researchers typically collect mostly qualitative data—often including interviews (Creswell, 2007)—and simultaneously develop increasingly abstract codes, concepts, and categories from the data. In the final step of analysis, researchers develop a theory that subsumes all categories from the data. If researchers follow the Straussian tradition, categories can be fit into a theoretical framework that details a central phenomenon underlying the process of interest and the conditions that precede it, result from it, and shape the resulting categories (Creswell, 2007). We illustrate this framework in Figure 1. Grounded theory is particularly useful for developing an accurate understanding of many organizational processes and phenomena that I-O psychologists study.
