An Integrative Methodology for Organizational Oppositions: Aligning Grounded Theory and Discourse Analysis
提出一种整合扎根理论与话语分析的方法,用于识别组织中的对立现象(如矛盾、辩证关系)并评估其权力效应和微观组织动态,附有详细步骤和实例。
The study of organizational tensions, contradictions, dialectics, and paradoxes is on the rise in the organizational sciences. This article sets forth an integrative methodology for studying these oppositional phenomena by aligning grounded theory techniques with the little “d” and big “D” orientations of organizational discourse analysis. This integrative methodology not only aids in identifying and determining various types of organizational oppositions and responses to them, but also fosters assessment of their potential power effects and micro organizing dynamics. We provide detailed steps for undertaking this integrative methodology, illustrate these steps with an extended example, and conclude with a discussion of new directions for using this approach.
