The Possibilities of Phenomenology for Organizational Research
构建了一个类型学，分类对比五种流行的现象学方法论，阐明其假设、目标与分析步骤，帮助研究者根据研究需求选择合适的方法，并区分现象学与其他定性方法，最后指出现象学可应用于制度工作和组织认同研究。
Qualitative researchers have developed and employed a variety of phenomenological methodologies to examine individuals’ experiences. However, there is little guidance to help researchers choose between these variations to meet the specific needs of their studies. The purpose of this article is to illuminate the scope and value of phenomenology by developing a typology that classifies and contrasts five popular phenomenological methodologies. By explicating each methodology’s differing assumptions, aims, and analytical steps, the article generates a series of guidelines to inform researchers’ selections. Subsequent sections distinguish the family of phenomenological methodologies from other qualitative methodologies, such as narrative analysis and autoethnography. The article then identifies institutional work and organizational identity as topical bodies of research with particular research needs that phenomenology could address.
