The distinction between qualitative and quantitative research methods is problematic (2012, methodology): “…The qualitative approach is radically interpretivist and constructivist (i.e., it assumes that there is no reality independent of the investigation (Sale et al. 2002, p. 45)) a clearly empirically oriented method is Grounded theory (Glazer and Strauss 1967) and another example is some versions of…”
The centrality of communication norm alignment, role clarity, and trust in global project teams (2016, methodology): “A mixed methods model is ideal when one is seeking complementarity between quantitative and qualitative data to more fully explain the results (Sale et al., 2002; Yauch and Steudel, 2003; Vergne, 2012).”
METHODOLOGICAL FIT IN MANAGEMENT FIELD RESEARCH. (2007, methodology): “Element Stewart and Barrick (2000) Wageman (2001) Chen and Klimoski (2003)”
Research Design in Qualitative/Quantitative/Mixed Methods (2011, background): “88) However, the pragmatic stance also has its critics (Mertens, 2003; Sale et al., 2002).”
International financing for climate change adaptation in small island developing states (2017, background): “The benefits of a mixed methods approach, discussed by Heyvaert et al. (2013) and Sale et al. (2002), are well suited to the study of emerging policy issues such as climate finance.”
Triangulation and integration: processes, claims and implications (2006, neutral): “Sale et al. (2002), for example, take this line.”
Combining qualitative and quantitative research within mixed method research designs: A methodological review (2011, background): “In particular, the different epistemological and ontological assumptions and paradigms associated with qualitative and quantitative research have had a major influence on discussions on whether the integration of the two is feasible, let alone desirable (Morgan, 2007; Sale et al., 2002).”
Staying the distance: students’ perceptions of enablers of transition to higher education (2014, result): “Triangulation of data collection and analysis enhances the validity and reliability of the research and increases confidence in the results (Sale & Lohfeld, 2002).”
