Modern Research Methods for the Study of Behavior in Organizations
The goal of the chapters in this SIOP Organizational Frontiers Series volume is to challenge researchers to break away from the rote application of traditional methodologies and to capitalize upon the wealth of data collection and analytic strategies available to them. In that spirit, many of the chapters in this book deal with methodologies that encourage organizational scientists to re-conceptualize phenomena of interest (e.g., experience sampling, catastrophe modeling), employ novel data collection strategies (e.g., data mining, Petri nets), and/or apply sophisticated analytic techniques (e.g., latent class analysis). The editors believe that these chapters provide compelling solutions for the complex problems faced by organizational researchers.

Knowing Children
When studying children too often it is assumed that "our" view of the world will be their view of the world. Knowing Children explores this lofty assumption and explodes various myths that researchers commonly hold about children. Using the assumptions that minors are knowledgeable about their world and that the worlds of minors are special and noteworthy, Fine and Sandstrom explore the worlds of children and demonstrate that adults can greatly benefit from studying their worlds through the use of qualitative research methods. In this insightful volume Fine and Sandstrom present timely methodological statements on doing participant observation with children. Drawing on case studies of childr...
Psychoanalytic Aspects of Fieldwork
Rational, dispassionate, an emotional outsider, someone unaffected by the field setting--these are the traditional views of the fieldworker. This view, however, is changing; recent literature has pointed to the fieldworker′s own personal stake and involvement in the research setting. Now, Jennifer Hunt takes another step in this direction, showing how the fieldworker′s unconscious mind often shapes the interaction between researcher, subject, and setting. The role played by affective and cognitive processes in research, how different schools view researcher subjectivity, and the definition of the researcher as a person and investigative tool are thoroughly examined. In addition, Hunt car...
Gender Issues in Field Research
Are there differences in the levels of access given to male and female researchers in the field setting? Does gender influence or limit researchers in the types of questions that they are allowed to investigate? Warren, a well-known field researcher, addresses these issues using examples from anthropological, sociological and organizational research. In essence, the author shows that ethnography, as the polished product of field research, cannot be understood without explicitly taking into account the ways the gender of the researcher influences both fieldwork relations and the production of the final report. Using a wide range of examples, Gender Issues in Field Research successfully disclo...
