近年来,随着定性研究的日益流行,扎根理论方法(GTM)作为信息系统(IS)研究方法的使用逐渐增加。该方法提供了一种从数据中生成理论的系统方法,但是很少在is中充分发挥其潜力,因为关于GTM的一些神话和误解阻碍了研究人员充分发挥该方法的潜力。为了解决这个问题,我们提高了GTM的一般知识水平。我们澄清了经常被新手用户或临时观察者误解的方法方面,并提供了解决常见问题的指导。来自IS文献的范例被用来说明概念,并促进方法论的知情使用。通过这样做,本文将有助于改进该方法的使用,并有助于基础理论研究成果的质量和传播。
The use of grounded theory method (GTM) as a research method in information systems (IS) has gradually increased over the years as qualitative research in general has become more prevalent. The method offers a systematic way to generate theory from data, but is rarely used to its full potential in IS as a number of myths and misunderstandings about GTM prevent researchers from getting the full potential out of the method. To address this problem, we advance the general level of knowledge of GTM. We clarify aspects of the method that are often misunderstood by novice users or casual observers and provide guidance to address common problems. Exemplars from the IS literature are used to illustrate the concepts and to promote the informed use of the methodology. By doing so, this paper will contribute to improving the use of the method and to the quality and dissemination of grounded theory research outcomes.
