Gender differences in reported potentially morally injurious events among post-9/11 U.S. combat veterans, using two measures
Veteran men and women reported any PMIE occurring at relatively high rates. Gender differences at the item response level were found for most items on both the MIES and MIQ-M, albeit of small magnitude. Awareness of gender differences in the likelihood of experiencing a given PMIE may help inform clinical assessments and case conceptualizations.

Building resilient health systems
Health system resilience begins with measurement of critical capacities ahead of crisis say Margaret E Kruk and colleagues

Ten years of Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the progress that has been made in qualitative research in the field of information systems (IS) and across management and organizational studies more generally. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is an opinion piece based on the author’s experience as a qualitative researcher. Findings – Qualitative research in the fields of IS and management and organizational studies has come of age. A…
Design ethnography in information systems
Until recently, most ethnographic research in information systems has been based on the traditional anthropological model of ethnography. In this traditional model of ethnography, one of the most important data-gathering techniques is participant observation. The ethnographer observes and participates but does not actively seek to change the situation. In recent years, however, a new type of ethnographic research has emerged - one that can be cal…
Looking Like a Winner
A flurry of recent studies indicates that candidates who simply look more capable or attractive are more likely to win elections. In this article, the authors investigate whether voters' snap judgments of appearance travel across cultures and whether they influence elections in new democracies. They show unlabeled, black-and-white pictures of Mexican and Brazilian candidates' faces to subjects living in America and India, asking them which candid…
Putting the ‘theory’ back into grounded theory
Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the use of grounded theory in information systems research. Grounded theory is a qualitative research method that seeks to develop theory that is grounded in data systematically gathered and analysed. The purpose of this paper is to suggest guidelines for grounded theory studies in information systems. Our guidelines are based on a framework for theorizing in grounded theory studies that…
The Qualitative Interview in Is Research
Viewing Information Technology Outsourcing Organizations Through a Postcolonial Lens
This paper discusses some of the difficulties and challenges that an information technology (IT) firm in a developing country faces in its attempt to become a global player. In 1999, the firm KnowICT embarked on a strategic project called Knowledge Management (KM), whose main purpose was to unify and integrate knowledge that resided in the various organizational business units into one strategic knowledge infrastructure. By combining the knowledg…

Qualitative Research in Information Systems
Which Way to Till This Field? The Cultural Selection of Surface Form in the Rise and Fall of Cultivation Ridges in Northwestern Europe
This paper compares the tillage patterns of ridged and level fields, and suggests past incentives for their alternative selection within the agricultural history of northwestern Europe. Fieldwork in Ireland in 1994 and 1995 focused on traditional plow and spade competitions and systematic test plot experiments. Analyses compared the movements of body, tools, and soils in the field, the time absorbed, and the effects on field form, ecology, and yi…
A Set of Principles for Conducting and Evaluating Interpretive Field Studies in Information Systems1
This article discusses the conduct and evaluation of interpretive research in information systems. While the conventions for evaluating information systems case studies conducted according to the natural science model of social science are now widely accepted, this is not the case for interpretive field studies. A set of principles for the conduct and evaluation of interpretive field research in information systems is proposed, along with their p…
Scholarship and practice
Information systems research methods need to contribute to the scholarly requirements of the field of knowledge but also need to develop the potential to contribute to the practical requirements of practitioners′ knowledge. This leads to possible conflicts in choosing research methods. Argues that the changing world of the IS practitioner is reflected in the changing world of the IS researcher and that qualitative approaches to IS research help t…
Information systems and anthropology
Considers the potential role of anthropology as a source discipline for information systems. Although anthropology has been largely neglected in the IS research literature, it is argued that important insights can be gained by adopting an anthropological perspective on information systems phenomena. Illustrates the value of an anthropological perspective by looking at the relationship between information technology and organizational culture. Sho…
Dialectical hermeneutics
Despite the proliferation of information technology, the implementation of information systems remains problematic. Many systems fail to live up to expectations and some end up as disasters. Research on implementation has been conducted for the past two decades, but no theoretical framework for IS implementation has been widely accepted. This paper proposes dialectical hermeneutics as a theoretical framework for IS implementation research. Dialec…
