本章讲述了我们明确决定将参与作为一个大型、多年、总部设在美国的研究项目的关键特征，以研究社会变革领导力的故事。我们邀请了那些可能成为研究对象的人来询问他们的领导经验。拥抱参与在许多方面开拓和丰富了研究。它还产生了紧张和挑战，如果我们遵循更传统的定性研究道路，这些就不会出现。鉴于行动转向，越来越多的定性研究人员在他们的工作中加入了行动研究的元素，但这种结合并不简单。我们提供了关于组合这些方法的权衡的来之不易的见解。这项研究是基金会资助的社会变革领袖表彰计划的一部分。我们决定让这项研究参与进来，是因为我们处于几个相互竞争的利益的中心：参与者、我们自己和我们的研究社区，以及资助者。选择尊重这些关系中的每一种导致了一种混合设计，该设计结合了行动研究和传统的28
This chapter tells the story of our explicit decision to introduce participation as a key feature of a large-scale, multi-year, US-based research project to study social change leadership. We invited those who would have been the ‘subjects’ of the research to coinquire about their experience of leadership. Embracing participation opened up and enriched the research in many ways. It also generated tensions and challenges that would have been absent had we followed a more traditional qualitative research path. Given the action turn, more and more qualitative researchers are including elements of action research in their work, yet this marriage is not straightforward. We provide hard-earned insights about the trade-offs of combining these approaches. The research took place as part of a foundation-funded recognition program for social change leaders. Our decision to make the research participatory grew out of our position at the center of several competing interests: of participants, ourselves and our research community, and the funder. Choosing to honor each of these relationships led to a hybrid design that combined elements of action research and traditional 28
