“…It consisted of the visualisation of the network representation of contacts reported by the interviewee; this representation was obtained by means of the software programme used to collect the data (EgoNet), and was presented to the interviewee before the qualitative biographical questions. Although the visualisation of the network could potentially produce uncomfortable representations of the interviewees’ relationships (see Tubaro et al, 2021), our experience was highly satisfactory and similar to that reported by McCarty et al (2007), in which network visualisation worked as a cue to develop further reflection on the interviewee's network of supports and to check the accuracy of the information obtained. In addition, the graphic representation of the contacts made it possible to deepen the importance of the different spheres of sociability where interviewees had acquired these contacts.…”

This article explains the factors that led to the use of a hybrid data collection tool-i.e., a single questionnaire designed to collect both quantitative and qualitative data-in two different research projects that focused on the relation between the labour market trajectories of young people and the use and accumulation of network social capital in these trajectories. The article describes the characteristics of this tool and the methodological challenges posed by its use.The advantages and disadvantages of this specific type of data collection are also addressed. Among the main advantages, the improvement of data quality and the overarching picture obtained of the career path and use of personal networks are highlighted. The most important downside found is the amount of time needed in the interview, which shows the need to pay attention to the balance between quantitative and qualitative elements in the structure of the questionnaire.

The Factorial-Reflexive Approach to Diagnosing the Executors’ and Contractors’ Attitude to Achieving the Objectives by Energy Supplying Companies

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The article aims to enhance understanding of how relations, behavior and attitude of the executives and contractors to achieving the objectives by energy supplying companies affect the efficiency of the latter’s overall development. There is offered a factor-reflexive approach to diagnosing the executives’ and contractors’ attitude to realizing the tasks of developing the energy supplying companies. This approach includes models to identify and analyze the factors that influenced the change in contractors’ behavior based on the combination of expert techniques, correlation and regression analysis and evaluation of the personnel response to organizational, resource and staffing projects development, through accumulating sufficient statistical information based on the enterprise’s features, relations and environment. This approach to diagnosing executives’ and contractors’ response to the implementation of tasks and the resulting changes takes into account the subjective component of their response. Practical implementation of this approach in monitoring the conformity of the development tasks has proven the ability to identify problems from the viewpoint of the task executives.

“…However, explaining researchers` positionality in the research is an important practice that shapes the research and identifies the relational, cultural, and structural establishments between researchers and respondents during the knowledge production. Moreover, reflexivity allows researchers to address risks of ethical dilemmas; contribute to research ethics during the entire research process (Comstock, 2012); and mitigate controversial issues by ensuring transparency during explaining methodology and doing data analysis (Tubaro et al, 2021). One of the best ways to do this is to put researchers themselves as an active participants in the research while providing honesty about the research process with limitations and positive contributions (Ryan et al, 2014;Ryan, 2021).…”

“…One of the best ways to do this is to put researchers themselves as an active participants in the research while providing honesty about the research process with limitations and positive contributions (Ryan et al, 2014;Ryan, 2021). Thus, careful relationship building between researcher and respondents (interviewees) can strengthen the reflexivity and transparency along with a strong data privacy policy that accounts for data protection (Tubaro et al, 2021) within the researcher`s own perspective, which is already detailed in the methodology (5.4.2.5. Reflexivity and Authenticity).…”

Redesigning the Scuba Diving Tourism System According to Principles of Sustainability

Since the 1940s scuba diving tourism has become popular all over the world, however, this demand also has brought human-driven negative impacts on underwater surroundings. Reducing adverse effects on the marine environment and maximising the unique scuba diving experience depends on long-term socio-economic benefits and protecting natural and alternative marine resources. Over the last decade, system-based approaches have been developed by researchers to examine the interaction of scuba diving activities. However, a better understanding of principles of sustainability and practices and having a broad knowledge about how these are based on normative aspects can provide advantages for stakeholders in the system to reduce negative impacts. Therefore, this thesis aims to redesign the scuba diving tourism system thorough defining the normative aspects based on principles of sustainability. Investigating the research question “to what extent do the normative aspects of the scuba diving tourism system address principles of sustainability”, this study uses an interpretive paradigm as the phenomenological qualitative research method. As a destination that has developed a distinctive but significant scuba diving tourism sector, the main research took place in the Mediterranean archipelago of Malta using face to face interviews with stakeholders and in-situ observation via active participation. As a result, a new systems approach as `Sustainable Scuba Diving Tourism System` (S-SDTS) is proposed which is redesigned based on normative aspects founded on principles of sustainability.
