“…A study by Armstrong et al (1997) provided only partial support for inter-coder reliability and found that although coders identified similar themes, they organized and labelled them differently. Many advocate that the adherence to systematic and thorough analytical processes, together with providing a high level of transparency, is sufficient to ensure rigour (Elliott et al 1999;Meyrick 2006;Yardley 2000). Accordingly, we argue that the steps taken to ensure quality and transparency in this study contribute to a satisfactory level of rigour.…”

A qualitative study was undertaken to explore how interorganizational complexity is managed on a petroleum-producing installation. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data were analysed by means of thematic analysis. Longterm organizational relations, management's role in the field and worker involvement appear to facilitate high-quality work relations which, along with similar safety practices and philosophies across companies, appear to foster commitment to mutual operational goals and contribute to an open environment in which employees were inclined to report errors and problems. Still, due to the vast number of companies involved and the vast amount of information, coordinating work processes among companies was regarded as a constant challenge. Moreover, variations in experience among sharp-end workers from sub-contractor companies in periods of high activity and marked fluctuations were identified as a challenge. The quality of interorganizational work relations appears to have important implications for safety performance in this context, indicating that high-quality work relations across collaborating companies constitute an important component for achieving and sustaining safety. As research addressing relational factors in safety research to date has been sparse, more research is needed to further explore the safety functions of high-quality work relations. Theoretically, the current study contributes to extend the high-reliability organizations framework by highlighting the role of high-quality work relations as an element for achieving mindfulness.

“…É sabido que as pesquisas qualitativas compõem uma pletora, nem sempre convergente, de posições ontológicas, epistemológicas e metodológicas (Ballinger, 2004;EasterbySmith, Golden-Biddle, & Locke, 2008;Goertz & Mahoney, 2012;Krefting, 1991;Kuper, Lingard, & Levinson, 2008;Meyrick, 2006;Pratt, 2008). Dessa maneira, os interessados em realizar um estudo qualitativo devem primeiramente declarar essas posições.…”

RESUMOO presente trabalho tem como objetivo examinar algumas das contribuições da Filosofia deleuzeana para os Estudos Organizacionais. Para tanto, primeiro farei uma leitura geral de sua obra, examinando três marcos de sua filosofia: seu conceito de diferença e suas implicações, a concepção de sujeito engendrada por ela e, finalmente, o papel e relevância de sua parceria com Guattari para concretização de seu projeto filosófico. Concluo que a Filosofia de Deleuze pode contribuir especialmente para estudos empíricos em organizações, fornecendo premissas básicas que podem orientar tais estudos. O artigo visa não só contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do complexo pensamento de um dos filósofos mais importantes do século XX no meio dos Estudos Organizacionais, mas também deseja preencher uma lacuna nesse campo que diz respeito à pungente necessidade de que a reflexão filosófica faça-se presente nele.

“…The research team addressed rigour within the research process with attention to the two key principles proposed in Meyrick's [37] model: transparency about the research process and the use of a systematic approach. A reflexive diary and an audit trail were maintained throughout the research process, and detailed the decisions made during data collection and analysis.…”

The role of the practice educator in supporting nursing and midwifery students' clinical practice learning: An appreciative inquiry

High quality, supportive practice learning experiences are crucial for ensuring that student nurses and midwives develop into competent practitioners who are fit for practice. The practice educator role is one model of practice learning support but the role is relatively new and has been little investigated. This paper reports on an appreciative inquiry that explored the current practice educator role at one university in England, with the aim of reaching a consensus for how the role could be enhanced. The first phase involved in-depth interviews with 18 participants: practice educators (n = 10); student nurse representatives (n = 5) and practice based education leads (n = 3). The interviews were analysed thematically. Three themes related to social processes involved in the role: being a bridge, being there, and social identity. The other themes described contributions to the practice learning environment: safeguarding, support, critical thinking. The second phase used a modified Delphi technique. Participants ranked trigger statements, related to the themes, in order of importance. Two consensus workshops were held where the statements were reviewed by practice educators, students and learning environment leads, following which principles and practices of the practice educator role were agreed. In conclusion, the strength of the practice educator role is that it bridges the worlds of university and practice. This bridging resulted from social processes that required a sustained presence in practice to engage in the reality of everyday practice and gain the shared social identity of a practitioner.
