“…The basic split in orientations to research stems from work in cross-cultural anthropology by linguist Kenneth Pike (1966) who coined the terms "emic" and "etic" using the suffi xes of the terms phonemic and phonetic. In linguistic analysis these terms distinguish sound structure, as analysed by a linguist (phonetics), from the meaning of the sounds to the native speaker (phonemics) (Morey/Luthans 1984, Pike 1966.…”

and Key Results 0 Reliability, validity, generalisability and objectivity are fundamental concerns for quantitative researchers. For qualitative research, however, the role of these dimensions is blurred. Some researchers argue that these dimensions are not applicable to qualitative research and a qualitative researcher's tool chest should be geared towards trustworthiness and encompass issues such as credibility, dependability, transferability and confi rmability. 0 This paper advocates the use of formalised and software-based procedures for the analysis and interpretation of qualitative interview data. It is argued that International Business research, with a focus on international datasets, equivalence issues, multiple research environments and multiple researchers, will benefi t from formalisation. The use of software programmes is deemed to help to substantiate the analysis and interpretation of textual interview data.

“…In past research, psychological contracts have been operationalized in various ways. Among these attempts, there have been two main perspectives distinguishing how to address psychological contracts as a construct -the etic and emic perspective (Morey & Luthans, 1984). The etic perspective is the more generalizable perspective that applies across persons and provides a common framework across a variety of situations.…”

“…What is suggested here is that the initial research be done with a primarily emic (or insider's) orientation and subsequent analysis of data be done using etic (or outsider's) analytic categories (Morey & Luthans, 1984). Emic approaches do not mean a return to the earlier case approach discouraged by modern organization theorists and researchers as simplistic and methodologically unsound.…”

“…At the initial, Variation Small, uniform "pool" Large, varied "pool" Autonomy Relatively autonomous Embedded in larger society; nonautonomous pragmatic level of organizational analysis, the recognition of content and meaning allows the researcher to discover and make use of limited cultural scenes in common social situations in organizations. In this sense it also implies a particular methodology, one that some organizational researchers are beginning to use (Barley, 1983;Morey & Luthans, 1984).…”
