Unspoken Factors In Organizational Decision-Making: A Case Study, Kevin S. Bottomley
Unspoken Factors In Organizational Decision-Making: A Case Study, Kevin S. Bottomley
The Qualitative Report Conference
The sample consisted of 22 participants including C-level, senior executives, and administrative support personnel for a large nonprofit organization in the southeastern United States. The results of the study indicate that unspoken factors exist within organizations, however it is difficult to surface these unspoken factors within a group. This appears to influence the amount of information that it shared in the decision-making process. The present study is a first attempt to operationalize the hidden dimensions proposed by the Covert Process Model (Marshak & Katz, 2001). The research employs an inductive approach based on the assumption that some level of hidden …
Innovations In Representing Specific States Of Consciousness, Barry Klein
Innovations In Representing Specific States Of Consciousness, Barry Klein
The Qualitative Report Conference
On-going research has not produced a sufficiently precise and practical methodology which could yield a substantive evolution in qualitative research, but I have developed techniques, from world traditions as well as from transpersonal research, for calibrating specific states during and right after they are experienced. Benefits of this could lead to improved treatments for disorders as well as for self-improvement and cross-cultural communications.
Synthesizing Qualitative Research, Ronald J. Chenail
Synthesizing Qualitative Research, Ronald J. Chenail
The Qualitative Report Conference
Systematic reviews of research literature have emerged as important tools in evidence-based practice. The importance of qualitative research findings in this pursuit has led to the development of meta-synthesis approaches creating new interpretations from primary qualitative findings. A step-by-step process for conducting such a qualitative meta-synthesis will be shared.

Teaching The Next Generation Of Qualitative Researchers, Ronald J. Chenail
Teaching The Next Generation Of Qualitative Researchers, Ronald J. Chenail
The Qualitative Report Conference
The next generation of qualitative researchers will be able to demonstrate their conceptual, perceptual, executive, evaluative, and professional skills in mastering designing, conducting, and presenting qualitative research competencies. To achieve these outcomes educators of these new qualitative researchers will need to create transparent environments that facilitate active learning through a supportive relationship of performance and feedback all leading to the creation of meaningful real-world products.

Getting Published: Journey Into An Editor's Mind, Sally St. George, Dan Wulff
The Qualitative Report Conference
In this workshop we will reveal specifically what the editors of TQR are looking for in terms of content and writing style when they read manuscripts. In a frank presentation we will also tell you what “bugs” us when we are working on the rewriting process.
Academic And Commercial Qualitative Research: The Best Of Both Worlds, Ronald J. Chenail
Academic And Commercial Qualitative Research: The Best Of Both Worlds, Ronald J. Chenail
The Qualitative Report Conference
With apologies to George Bernard Shaw, academic qualitative research and commercial qualitative research have been “two countries separated by a common language,” but this cultural divide has its positives because these divergent customs present opportunities for mutual innovation. Today we will explore these differences and offer enhancements for both worlds.
The Art And Craft Of Autoethnography, Ronald J. Chenail
The Art And Craft Of Autoethnography, Ronald J. Chenail

TQR Editor-in-Chief Ron Chenail reviewed the history and development of autoethnography as a methodology, product, and intervention. He compared and contrasted evocative and analytic autoethnographic traditions focusing on the "Nine P's of Autoethnography" - Person, Populace, Position, Problem, Purpose, Perspective, Plan, Product, and Praxis.

How Has Caqdas Technology Affected Qualitative Research?, Megan Woods
How Has Caqdas Technology Affected Qualitative Research?, Megan Woods
The Qualitative Report Conference
By analysing 30 years of academic literature this research identifies and conceptually models how the evolution of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) technology has affected research practices for collecting, analysing and reporting qualitative data. The paper models various approaches to CAQDAS-supported research to illustrate the implications of this evolutionary process for contemporary qualitative research practice and methodological debates.
Emerging Technology Tools For Qualitative Data Collection, Julie Kimbler, Manon Maitland Schladen, Diana Moore, Bruce Sowers, Martha Snyder
Emerging Technology Tools For Qualitative Data Collection, Julie Kimbler, Manon Maitland Schladen, Diana Moore, Bruce Sowers, Martha Snyder
The Qualitative Report Conference
Emerging technology tools enable qualitative researchers to collect text, audio, and visual data any time and any place. However, given many of these tools are cloud-based, they also present questions regarding security and confidential data collection. The uses, advantages, and drawbacks of emerging technology tools used for note-taking, collecting, managing, and sharing various forms of data will be presented within the context of qualitative data collection in instructional technology.
Ethnography Supports Changes To Student-Centered Instruction, Mary Ann Sprague, Maryann Fuhrmann
Ethnography Supports Changes To Student-Centered Instruction, Mary Ann Sprague, Maryann Fuhrmann
The Qualitative Report Conference
Researchers developing automated education aids requested a work practice study of traditional and enhanced ways to track student achievement. The pilot included several elementary schools, where pre- and post-pilot processes were analyzed. Despite privacy challenges, audio recordings, interactions during user interviews, co-design sessions, and discussions of graphical representations provided rich data.
Announcements And Plenary Address – The Creative Habit: Curiosity And The Qualitative Researcher, Valerie J. Janesick
Announcements And Plenary Address – The Creative Habit: Curiosity And The Qualitative Researcher, Valerie J. Janesick
The Qualitative Report Conference
In this session I will describe and explain how creativity can be a good habit to nurture for the qualitative researcher. I will draw upon my experience in dance and in qualitative research to discuss the habits of observation, interviewing, writing, analyzing and disseminating research findings. Curiosity is a key component of working in the qualitative arena. In order to be creative and curious you have to prepare for it. By looking at exemplars in the arts, sciences and social sciences we can learn a great deal about becoming curious.
Announcements And Plenary Address – A Dance Of Transparencies: Researching Identity And Identifying Researchers, Ronald J. Chenail
Announcements And Plenary Address – A Dance Of Transparencies: Researching Identity And Identifying Researchers, Ronald J. Chenail
The Qualitative Report Conference
Taking its place alongside such core metaphors as culture, phenomenon, discourse, and narrative, identity has emerged as an important trope in qualitative research. Be it people's sense of themselves as members of a family, culture, corporation, or the world society, qualitative researchers are interested in learning how people come to define themselves within their varied contexts. This area of research is also fraught with controversy as researchers and their research participants struggle with gender, sexual, cultural, brand, product, customer, and corporate identities and the methodological and ethical decisions entailed in studying such phenomena. An associated concern is how do we …
