How Do We Justify Knowledge Produced Within Interpretive Approaches?

How Do We Justify Knowledge Produced Within Interpretive Approaches? The use of interpretive approaches within management and organizational sciences has increased substantially. However, appropriate criteria for justifying research results from interpretive approaches have not developed so rapidly alongside their adaptation. This article examines the potential of common criteria for justifying knowledge produced within interpretive approaches. Based on this investigation, appropriate criteria are identified and a strategy for achieving them is proposed. Finally, an interpretive study of competence in organizations is used to demonstrate how the proposed criteria and strategy can be applied to justify knowledge produced within interpretive approaches. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Organizational Research Methods SAGE

Abstract

The use of interpretive approaches within management and organizational sciences has increased substantially. However, appropriate criteria for justifying research results from interpretive approaches have not developed so rapidly alongside their adaptation. This article examines the potential of common criteria for justifying knowledge produced within interpretive approaches. Based on this investigation, appropriate criteria are identified and a strategy for achieving them is proposed. Finally, an interpretive study of competence in organizations is used to demonstrate how the proposed criteria and strategy can be applied to justify knowledge produced within interpretive approaches.
