Organizational Ethnography: An Experiential and Practical Guide de Jenna Pandeli

Organizational Ethnography: An Experiential and Practical Guide

Editat de Jenna Pandeli, Neil Sutherland, Hugo Gaggiotti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 feb 2022

Evoluția metodologiilor calitative în ultimele decenii a transformat cercetarea organizațională dintr-o simplă colectare de date într-un proces profund reflexiv și adesea imprevizibil. Observăm în lucrarea Organizational Ethnography o trecere necesară de la teoria aridă la o abordare bazată pe experiență, care recunoaște că cercetătorul nu este un observator neutru, ci un participant activ, supus stresului și dilemelor etice. Putem afirma că acest volum, coordonat de Jenna Pandeli, Neil Sutherland și Hugo Gaggiotti, funcționează ca un ghid de supraviețuire pentru terenul adesea turbulent al instituțiilor moderne.

Structura cărții urmărește riguros parcursul unui proiect etnografic, fiind împărțită în trei secțiuni esențiale: aspecte de luat în considerare înainte de a intra în teren, experiențele din timpul procesului și evaluările ulterioare. Notăm cu interes includerea unor capitole care abordează teme mai puțin discutate în manualele clasice, precum teama, riscul, eșecul sau utilizarea metodelor audio-vizuale. Această progresie logică îi ajută pe studenți să anticipeze nu doar metodologia, ci și impactul personal al muncii lor.

Organizational Ethnography acoperă aceeași arie ca Researching Organizations de Matthew Jones, dar cu o abordare mult mai axată pe dimensiunea emoțională și practică a muncii de teren. În timp ce alte texte se concentrează pe fundamentele filozofice, volumul de față prioritizează „toolkit-ul” necesar pentru a gestiona incertitudinile, oferind perspective oneste despre autoetnografie și cercetarea sub acoperire. Este o resursă esențială pentru curricula de metode de cercetare, aducând un suflu proaspăt prin combinarea rigoarei academice cu realitățile brute ale terenului.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte se adresează studenților și cercetătorilor care se pregătesc pentru studii etnografice în mediul organizațional. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a provocărilor reale, dincolo de teorie: de la gestionarea propriilor emoții și frici, până la decizia dificilă de a părăsi terenul. Este un manual practic care transformă incertitudinea cercetării calitative într-un instrument de învățare și reflexivitate.

Recenzii

Organizational Ethnography sets a new standard for scholarly reflection and theoretical inquiry. The editors have assembled a smart and engaging set of essays on ethnographic methods in diverse organizational contexts. Readers will find traditional topics assessed with a fresh lens, as well as some issues—exiting the field, studying sensitive issues—that have received far less attention than they deserve. For newcomers to the craft as well as seasoned practitioners, this volume on "hanging out" in organizations is a must read.

'This is a carefully edited collection of fresh and lively accounts of various phases and stages of ethnographic research in contemporary organizational settings – from planning a study, to carrying it out, to exiting the field, to writing it up. Central to each of the selections are the troubles a particular ethnographic stance presents to the researcher – many unseen at the outset of a study – and the disparate ways researchers have come up with in dealing with these vexing difficulties. These are personalized stories about the practical doing of ethnography – tales that are typically elided from the rather condensed and sanitized renderings of how a given study was accomplished that appear in print. That canonical ethnographic means and ends are necessarily strained and stretched in the flickering, messy, chaotic, emotionally laden and initially unknown surroundings and circumstances that a study seeks to tame is a reoccurring theme in these accounts. This is a work that will appeal to seasoned as well as novice researchers interested how the ethnographers of various backgrounds have dealt with the inherent uncertainties of their trade.'
John Van Maanen, Emeritus Professor, MIT (Work and Organization Studies Group), USA
'Ethnographic research is flourishing in a wide variety of social settings, and in an equally diverse range of disciplines. With a broad understanding of organisational ethnography, this collection of essays amply displays all that variety. It also captures the remarkable range of approaches – methodological and personal – that characterise contemporary field research. The contributing authors are frank in acknowledging the personal, ethical and intellectual challenges of ethnographic fieldwork, but they also convey the immense satisfaction to be gained from such research. They offer a close look under the bonnet, to see some of the things that lie behind published ethnographic research. Readers will be engaged, informed and confronted by the essays in this collection. It will be an invaluable resource for students and more experienced ethnographers alike.'

Descriere scurtă

This textbook explores practices, first-hand experiences and emerging ideas within organizational ethnography, providing a toolkit that prepares ethnographers for the uncertainties and realities of fieldworking.
Students faced with the complexities of qualitative observational techniques and considerations, such as the scope of the research, the personal and professional intertwined life of the qualitative research or the decision of when to leave the field, will find the book an extremely useful, practical guide. A range of experiences from a variety of academics at different stages of their career, to highlight the differences in practices, approaches and encounters, are presented. The themes of the individual chapters cover three main areas: aspects to consider and reflect on before undertaking an ethnography, the process and experiences of conducting ethnographic work and considerations for after the fieldwork. Particular attention is given to appreciating the complexity and practicalities of ethnographic work, providing a more experience-driven text, and understanding perspectives from a range of different approaches to organizational ethnography.
This book should be a recommended text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying research methods within Business and Management. It is particularly important for all students and academics undertaking qualitative research, especially ethnography.
