The General Method of Theory-Building Research in Applied Disciplines (2002, background): “In effect, what we are continuously doing is developing informed knowledge frameworks about how to act on things in our world, thereby formulating ways in which to understand and address issues and problems in the world around us (Alvesson & Deetz, 2000).”
Managers Doing Leadership: The Extra-Ordinarization of the Mundane (2003, background): “Among these it seems that the basic role of leaders when exercising leadership is the release of the ‘human spirit’ to shape creativity, inspiration and motivation (Bartlett & Ghosal, 1995).”
Participants' accounts of a stress management intervention (2007, background): “…phenomenological approach allows the narratives about intervention processes and context to be collected and analysed without the tight constraints of incrementalism (such as the replication of previous results) imposed by a positivist research process (Alvesson & Deetz, 2000; Elliot et al., 1999).”
The emergent ‘coaching industry’: a wake-up call for HRD professionals (2008, methodology): “For the present study, the authors adopted a neo-empiricist stance (Alvesson and Deetz 2000) by assuming a critical realist ontology and epistemology falling somewhere between post-positivism and constructivism-interpretivism (Ponterotto 2005). Critical realism in the social sciences is concerned wi”
A Set of Principles for Conducting Critical Research in Information Systems (2011, background): “Although there are different ideas about how to proceed with critical field research in the literature, Alvesson and Deetz (2000) suggest that critical research is comprised of three elements.”
Suppression or expression (2005, background): “Deep or thick description refers to careful accounts of social phenomena in which layers of meaning are expressed (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000).”
Narrative attributions of entrepreneurial failure (2013, background): “We aim at theoretical, authentic and credible generalizations (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000; Yin, 1981).”
Conceptualizing the Learning Process in SMEs (2006, background): “This encourages a reflexive, even critical, approach to research outcomes (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000).”
‘Why would you want to do that?’: Defining emotional dirty work (2014, methodology): “…from our direct observations of Samaritans’ voice work with callers, and supported by quotations from in-situ and semi-structured interviews with those labourers; the combination of these various sources giving a ‘broad and rich picture of the situation concerned’ (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000: 204).”
Workplace Dignity: Communicating Inherent, Earned, and Remediated Dignity (2015, neutral): “Moreover, due to problems that arise from indignity, such as meaninglessness, illegitimacy, and quality of work‐life, interpretivist approaches were particularly appropriate (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000).”
Sustainability in entrepreneurship: A tale of two logics (2011, background): “…of the game in a particular field (Reay and Hinings, 2005), and highlighting that the dominance of one logic may not be natural, but rather the result of a power struggle which has succeeded temporarily in suppressing, but not eliminating, the other (cf. Alvesson and Deetz, 2000; Bourdieu, 1977).”
Reflexivity and managerial practice (2004, background): “Managerial theory and research regarding reflexivity has focused on how the biases and assumptions researchers bring to their investigation turn back on themselves and influence the production of the research subject (Alvesson & Deetz, 2000; Holland, 1999).”
On the Difference or Equality of Information, Misinformation, and Disinformation: A Critical Research Perspective (2006, background): “It can therefore be characterised by its intention to change social realities (Alvesson & Deetz, 2000; Ngwenyama & Lee, 1997) and favour the disadvantaged (Mingers, 1992).”
Critical discourse analysis and identity: why bother? (2004, background): “It involves more provisional reality claims, a recognition of the contingency of accounts of reality, a skepticism towards foundational claims to truth, and a plurality of views (Alvesson and Deetz 2000; Grant et al. 2004).”
The Gentle Art of Retroduction: Critical Realism, Cultural Political Economy and Critical Grounded Theory (2017, methodology): “…guiding a research process that brings abstract and concrete, macro and micro, structure and agency, discursivity and materiality into dialogue with one another, by combining conceptual, discourse-analytical and historical work with the immersion into the field (cf. Alvesson & Deetz, 2000).”
Ethical norms and issues in crowdsourcing practices: A Habermasian analysis (2018, methodology): “Following the principles of critical IS research methodology (Cecez-Kecmanovic 2001; Myers and Klein 2011), we focused on the three key elements of critical field research: insight, critique and transformation (Alvesson and Deetz 2000).”
Leadership as Practice: Challenging the Competency Paradigm (2008, background): “science science division leaders actors’ (Alvesson & Deetz, 2000: 195) who would have exercised intentionality, reflexivity and even caution in the interview context.”
