Title: | 'Validity' Issues in Qualitative Research in Social Sciences: View from Two Angles, Have a Better Look | Contributor(s): | Khan, Ashfaq A (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12391 | Abstract: | Outcomes under the qualitative research paradigm are usually fiercely challenged by academics and practitioners. The method therefore requires a 'holistic' approach to analysing a particular phenomenon in order to address 'validity' and 'generalizability' issues. Looking at an object from more than one angle understandably gives a better look. In this conceptual paper I argue that through my use of the theoretical underpinnings from two established research theories - Institutional Theory and Laughlin's Organizational Change Model, to 'view' the empirical data collected for my case study research for my PhD, I provide evidence that looking at the research issue and the relevant empirical data from the perspective of a combination of two or more established theories would conclude the research with relatively more 'valid' and 'generalizable' research outcomes. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | MIICEMA 2012: 13th Malaysia-Indonesia International Conference on Economics, Management and Accounting - Asia Emerging Economy Toward Global Economy Integration, Palembang, Indonesia, 18th - 20th October, 2012 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of The 13th Malaysia-Indonesia International Conference on Economics, Management and Accounting (MIICEMA), v.2, p. 1-16 | Publisher: | Sriwijaya University | Place of Publication: | Palembang, Indonesia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 150199 Accounting, Auditing and Accountability not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 350199 Accounting, auditing and accountability not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 900201 Administration and Business Support Services | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 110301 Administration and business support services | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication |
