In Defense of Being “Native”: The Case for Insider Academic Research
探讨了内部人（组织成员）在自己组织内进行学术研究的价值，分析了实证主义、解释学和行动研究三种范式下内部研究的可行性，认为内部研究本身并非问题，其价值值得重申。
Within organizational research, the subject of insider academic research has received relatively little consideration. By insider research, we mean research by complete members of organizational systems in and on their own organizations. Insider research can be undertaken within any of the three major research paradigms—positivism, hermeneutics, and action research—selected and presented in this article. First, we revisit some of the established research paradigms to see what position they might have on insider research. Second, we explore the dynamics of insider research under the headings of access, preunderstanding, role duality, and managing organizational politics. Our conclusion is that within each of the main streams of research, there is no inherent reason why being native is an issue and that the value of insider research is worth reaffirming.
