Still, they published their theory in a coauthored work and there were not large differences in the overall theory at this point (Hart & Gregor 2005).
As the two scholars' careers diverged, however, they continued to develop their thinking on grounded theory independently from each other. What has become known as the Glaserian approach (developed, of course, by Barney Glaser) stresses the non-prescriptive nature of inquiries that occur utilizing grounded theory, with much broader categories of conceptualizations inherent to this version of the theory (Hart & Gregor 2005). Glaser also asserted that rigorous verification methods, such as might be more typical in the traditional scientific method, were suitably applied only to a very few of the central theoretical hypotheses that developed in the course of a grounded theory inquiry, which was another aspect of the Glaserian grounded theory that makes it more open to adjustment from the observations themselves and…...

What allows an individual to be part of the sample is a desire to bring new media approaches to the company but the unsuccessful integration of the new media. The research question which guides the study suggests that this approach would be useful. Other considerations with the sampling would be issues of data saturation and analytic induction. It is possible while sampling that the researcher would search out disconfirming cases. These are companies that either quickly implemented the necessary changes or companies that may not have had the desire but were forced to do so because of market changes.
Data collection method

The data will be collected using in depth interviews. These interviews would be unstructured interviews. With unstructured interviews the interviewer may use a schedule as a guide to which question should be asked to the participants, however the direction that interview takes will depend on the course the participant chooses.…...

Grounded theory methods and qualitative family research by LaRossa (2005) is particularly significant in its use of previous literature because the article attempts to critique and advocate the use of a specific type of theory in family research. Grounded theory is a very common methodology used in social science research and also somewhat controversial: "given the many books and articles devoted to outlining the procedures, one might presume that a basic grasp of GTM is within easy reach. Such is not the case, however" (LaRossa 2005: 838). LaRossa begins with a brief historical overview, noting how the original text outlining the principles of grounded theory, The Discovery of Grounded Theory, by Glaser and Strauss (1967) was specifically designed to close the gap between theory and anecdotal evidence in qualitative methodology (LaRossa 2005: 839). However, the author notes that even these authors began to diverge later in their careers on what…...

In his discussion of different methodologies of coding, such as open coding, LaRossa reflects upon how different theorists approached this complex process, but still tends to rely upon Glaser and Strauss for most of his definitions. Of open coding, for example, they note that "the concept-indicator model is predicated on the constant comparison of indicators, that is, on regularly identifying similarities and variations in texts" (LaRossa 2005: 841). In discussing axial quoting, LaRossa quotes more heavily from Strauss' later work (1987) alone, noting it "consists of "intense analysis done around one category" (LaRossa 2005: 846). With selective coding there is profound disagreement between Glaser and Straus: "although there is unanimity that selective coding entails the identification of a core variable" (LaRossa 2005: 851). LaRossa admits "if you find these descriptions hard to follow, you are not alone" (LaRossa 2005: 842). Quoting from the previous literature on the subject, rather than clarifying the concept, merely highlights why grounded theory is considered so obscure in many quarters.

After using (by his own admission) highly theoretical and somewhat obscure examples from theoretical literature, LaRossa then 'grounds' his discussion in a more specific study, that of Richardson's (1988) American Sociological Review article on extramarital affairs to show how grounded theory can actually be useful to create a 'narrative' theory of human experience (LaRossa 2005: 852). He also draws from examples of his own use of the theory "analyzing the interview transcripts in our study of the transition to parenthood" and Diane Vaughan's application of Glaser and Strauss to her work with dying patients (LaRossa 2005: 852). These examples are used to clarify the coding techniques that make up the bulk of the body of the paper and to show grounded theory's utility in 'real world' and 'hands on' research.

The majority of the body of the paper is thus relatively quote-heavy and draws from the literature, particularly Glass and Strauss, given their significance in the development of the theory. The introduction and the conclusion introduce the 'problem' of how to value grounded theory in the context of family research. Overall the tone of the article is very positive, but it would be more helpful to use extended examples. The bulk of the article discusses debates over appropriate coding, without examining how these are reflected in the later quoted actual research studies. Ultimately, qualitative coding attempts to illuminate phenomena in the real world that quantitative research cannot but the

Introduction
Qualitative research designs assume many forms, and the usefulness of each depends on the research questions and the theoretical vantage point of the researcher. Five of the main approaches to qualitative research design include narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies (Creswell & Poth, 2018). This paper will focus exclusively on two of those qualitative research designs, grounded theory and ethnography, to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of each. Grounded theory and ethnography are similar designs and approaches to research questions. Even some of their methodological considerations are alike, particularly in that both grounded theory and ethnography use observation as the primary tool of data collection (Najafi, Roudsari, Ebrahimipour, et al, 2016). Therefore, clarifying the differences between grounded theory and ethnography can help researchers understand which, if either, of these theories is most suitable for investigating the research question.

A review of peer-reviewed counseling-related research articles using a qualitative methodology that were published within the last 10 years identified the most relevant results as including a phenomenological study by Parker and Change (2014) and a grounded theory study by Wiens and Daniluk (2009). The phenomenological study by Wiens and Daniluk (2009) provided an overview of various qualitative methodologies that have been in the past to evaluate the experience of father's with children diagnosed with schizophrenia, but noted that most of the research to date in this area has taken place a decade or more following diagnosis and there have only been three studies to date concerning the role of fathers in the disease process. Therefore, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to provide fresh insights concerning the lived experiences of fathers whose young adult children were diagnosed…...

Phenomenology and Grounded Theory Approaches Both phenomenology and grounded theory are commonly used approaches to qualitative research in the social sciences. While grounded theory and phenomenology can sometimes be used simultaneously in ways that “slur” or “blur” the distinction between multiple qualitative methods, researchers in education should ultimately focus their attention on the best method for exploring single, focused research questions and their real-world applications (Baker, Wuest, & Stern, 1992, p. 1355). Grounded theory has been described as a “practical method for conducting research” that shows how people construct meaning about their social world (Suddaby, 2006, p. 633). Therefore, grounded theory is sociological in origin and linked to the concept of symbolic interactionism (Starks & Brown Trinidad, 2007). The methods used for grounded theory approaches to research in the social science include observations and other ethnographic data collection techniques, coupled with open coding for data analysis (Creswell, 2013).

Research Theories: Comparing and Contrasting The main differences between the four specific types of research theories above revolve around their perspective of research and the accumulation of knowledge. This in particular to how this research can be gathered to solve problems and provide illumination to issues. For example, deductive theories offer a more specific and focused treatment of research. The research usually revolves around a specific theory within a specific branch of academia that is use for testing and investigation. According to Dr. Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, "In deductive inference, we hold a theory and based on it we make a prediction of its consequences. That is, we predict what the observations should be if the theory were correct. We go from the general — the theory — to the specific — the observations," (Bradford, 2017). Essentially, a deductive theory is founded within reasoning, beginning with…...

Grounded Theory
The phenomena to be studied at the workplace using qualitative studies is workplace stress on employees. In particular, the study will take into consideration the impact of stress on nurses in their workplace.

Grounded theory has substantial significance for the reason that it offers clear, progressive guiding principles for undertaking qualitative research, provides distinctive approaches for handling the methodical stages of analysis, rationalizes and assimilates data gathering and analysis, progresses conceptual analysis of qualitative data and legitimizes qualitative research as scientific analysis (McKinney, 2017).

As aforementioned, the phenomena examined in this study is workplace stress. Nursing is considered to be a very persistent and vigorous job. Nurses experience high and intricate demands in their day to day jobs, combined by a great deal of responsibility. As a result, the nurses experience a great deal of workplace stress. As a result, this may significantly affect their level of caring and also…...

Theory vs. Practice
When it comes to working in any sort of organization or corporation, one of the obvious chasms that becomes clear here is the relationship between theory and what is practiced in a small business setting. To truly look at and assess that paradigm, the author of this report has interviewed an owner/manager at a small business to discuss what they do to make things work, what is suggested in theory and scholarly literature and how those frameworks and lessons do or do not work for their particular situation. The author of this report will personally be making a comparison and contrast between what is asserted within the literature and compare it to the feedback and personal experience narrative of the owner/manager. A common refrain seen in the blogosphere and elsewhere is that there is a disconnect between what is suggested in the minds of theorists and within the…...

Assessment of Article B

According to alph De Laossa's article "Grounded theory methods and qualitative family research," the use of grounded theory in the social science of family research is particularly valuable. Unlike other forms of qualitative research that merely describe a particular phenomenon or chronicle a 'case study' of a relatively obscure group of people, grounded theory does purport to create some useful and generalizable theory. Qualitative research is distinct from quantitative research, given that the latter tests a hypothesis and is based upon deductive principles. Qualitative research is inductive -- it collects data and formulates a theory from the accumulated information. After assessing verbal data, when using a grounded theory approach, the researcher then codes the data to come to a conclusion based upon the information.

The article details the core principles and the history of grounded…...

First Response:

In the article "Employee alignment with strategic change: A study of strategy-supportive behavior among blue-collar employees," the article was quantitative because the article placed the theory as the framework for the entire study (Creswell, 2009). The article has a deductive base with an objective to test or verify a theory by questioning the theory and hypotheses, defining the theory through a construct, and reflecting the results as positive or negative through scoring derived from the construct. In the study, the researchers introduced the theory at the beginning of the study and the theory and hypotheses was clearly stated and gave identification on the type of study the

Theory
Compare and contrast at least three views on what constitutes a theory. Distinguish the related concepts of theories, such as hypothesis, paradigm, model and concept.

Differentiating between hypothesis and theory

The word hypothesis is a description of various phenomenon occurring. In most cases, it's not a confirm statement. In other cases, it can be well-developed, designed and explained to follow through the workings and mechanisms of certain phenomenon. According to one definition, it states particularly that it's a precursor to a conditional proposition. A hypothesis is an unconfirmed theory. One can develop a hypothesis while the observation is being tested, that could be unconfirmed too. By an observation, one can simply have a window of opportunity to verify a hypothesis. A hypothesis can be detailed and inclusive of details. This permits lucid testing. Apart from that, it is the distinguishing factor from a theory (Harris, 2001).

The word theory is of scientific nature…...

Theory-Guided Practice A relationship exists between theories, research, practical application, and education. The latter three, in fact, ought to be directed by the former. Further, research works inform education as well as practical application through offering evidences for nursing instruction- and care provision- related best practices. Education forms the context for learning. Educators need to base their teaching on scholarly evidences in the areas of learning/teaching, learning/teaching theories, and practice arena requirements. Practice contexts are where learners are taught, patients are provided evidence-based care, and nurses acquire experiences to aid them in formulating novel nursing theories and topics for future studies. Theory is the foundation for: 
· How to learn and teach nursing concepts like nursing theories, brain-based education, neurocognitive studies, principles/frameworks, learning approaches, adult learning models, and educational models.
· How to frame researches and understand findings within professional settings, and how to develop the profession for ensuring most efficient practice.

Five Approaches and Theory

Compare and contrast the role of theory in the five main qualitative approaches:

Ethnography, case study, narrative, phenomenology, grounded theory

Although all five major approaches to qualitative research embrace theory to some degree or another, not all of them value the use of theory to the same degree. Broadly speaking, some cultural 'theory' is usually demonstrated within an ethnography, either through a comparative approach; an attempt to understand the culture on its own terms; a theory that seeks to understand the multiple layers of meaning within the culture in a symbolic fashion; or even a universalizing construct like feminist or Marxist theory. The extent to which this theoretical approach is emphasized will depend upon the anthropologist conducting the study. Some studies may mainly focus upon observations and detail unique aspects of a foreign culture while other studies might largely subsume the details to an…...
