Caring to write, writing to care: A feminist care approach to doctoral supervision in the intimate encounters of co-writing
That's not a proper ethnography: A hybrid "propportune" ethnography to study nurses' perceptions of organisational culture in a British hospital
PurposeThis paper revolves around the central question: is it possible to do "proper ethnography" without complete participant observation? The authors draw upon a student's experiences of negotiating National Health Service (NHS) ethical approval requirements and access into the student's research field, a British NHS hospital and having to adapt data collection methods for the student's doctoral research. The authors examine some of the positio…
From chain to net: Assessing interdisciplinary contributions to academic impact through narrative case studies
Interdisciplinary working plays an important role in achieving impact outside academia. One barrier to interdisciplinary working is the lack of mechanisms to assess contributions from outside the primary discipline. Positioning our research in debates about knowledge translation, we analyse the ability of narrative cases to assess the interdisciplinary contribution of one academic discipline, Human Resource Development (HRD), to impact. We take t…
Organisational autoethnography: Possibilities, Politics and Pitfalls
Autoethnography: possibilities, politics and pitfalls".This special issue acknowledges the growing interest in organisational autoethnography (OAE).To date, there has been no special issue in the Journal of Organizational Ethnography on OAE.However, OAE has always been important to this journal, first introduced as a research method in the inaugural issue
Organisational autoethnography
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review and organise the autoethnography literature: to explore the obstacles of and opportunities for autoethnography in organisation research; to support PhD students and supervisors who have chosen this methodological route to more clearly define their autoethnographic positions and choices; and to propose new research directions for organisational autoethnography.Design/methodology/approachThe authors cri…
Accommodating an Autoethnographic PhD: The Tale of the Thesis, the Viva Voce, and the Traditional Business School
The authors explore how a traditional U.K. business school accommodated an autoethnography for a PhD thesis and the evaluation of the quality of innovative textual form. The authors argue that scholars can view the quality of an autoethnography in terms of two dimensions: the relationship with criteriology (consensus/dissensus) and context of quality judgment (focused on completed process/embedded in practice of completing). The authors further a…
A critical review of researching Human Resource Development: The case of a pan-European project
Towards a multidisciplinary definition of innovation
Purpose This paper aims to undertake a content analysis of extant definitions of “innovation” as a basis for proposing an integrative definition of organizational “innovation”. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was used to generate a representative pool of definitions of organizational innovation, including definitions from the different disciplinary literatures of economics, innovation and entrepreneurship, business and management,…
Ethical confessions of the “I” of autoethnography: The student's dilemma
Purpose This paper aims to draw attention to a unique paradox concerning doing an autoethnography as a PhD. On the one hand, a student may feel a pull towards revealing a vulnerable, intimate, autoethnographic self, yet on the other hand she may be pushed away from this because the oral/ viva voce examination process may deny the student anonymity. Through the telling of this tale the complexities concerning self‐disclosure and student autoethnog…
Unity and Detachment: A Discourse Analysis of Doctoral Supervision
In this article the authors report on an approach that they used to enhance their understanding of the complex nature of doctoral supervision by analyzing e-mail communication within a supervisory relationship. Although some scholars have discussed research supervision, empirical research on the subject is limited, and the authors found no published attempts to explore doctoral supervision through the analysis of e-mail communication. The authors…
Developing a Quality Assurance System for Computer-based Learning Materials: Problems and issues
This paper reports on a two-year project, funded by the National Assembly for Wales, to develop an approach to quality standards for computer-based learning materials. Research conducted at the Centre for Learning Development at the University of Wales Bangor (UWB) has resulted in the development of an innovative quality assurance system. The system is based on validated criteria and provides a series of evaluation tools and guidance materials to…
