Background and aim: Grounded theory has taken some different theoretical perspectives since its creation in 1967 by Barney Glaser. Considering that applying grounded theory partly depends on an awareness of its philosophical perspectives, gaining knowledge about these various perspectives is required for health care professionals who are interested in studying the social processes. This review ...

most researches in the felid of human resource development by means of personal development plan has focused on education and health industries. the aim of this research is to explain human resource development process in order to gain a better understanding and identifying factors affecting this process in project- based organizations. to this end, by adopting grounded theory methodology, data...

the main purpose of this research is to describe emergent approach of grounded theory methodology and then compare it with systematic approach. to do so, after describing emergent approach, it compare it with systematic one surrounding 5 axis: coding processes; sampling processes; paradigms; literature review and rigor considerations. the findings show that emergent approach in comparison with ...

The overarching research goal for which grounded theory methodology (GTM) is used is to understand the basic social processes that underlie a phenomenon in socially or experientially relevant domains of human life (Charmaz, 2006 ; Glaser & Strauss, 1967 ). It is also a popular methodology adopted by qualitative researchers in social science disciplines and medical and health sciences. In psycho...

the present study aims to examine how to create alternative methodology in social sciences by using qualitative approach of grounded theory and implementing focus group workshops and performing semi-structured interviews with expert professors in social science methodology. the method of the present research is qualitative approach of grounded theory; focus group workshops were held and semi-st...

Purpose: New PhD researchers sometimes face challenges when attempting to follow Grounded Theory principles to conduct their studies. These challenges may lead them sometimes to change its features or even prevent them from using the approach at all. This paper argues that, although challenging to implement, Grounded Theory is congruent with the nature of PhD research. It aims to provide an exa...
