A Guide to Discursive

Organizational Psychology

Edited by Chris Steyaert, Julia Nentwich

and Patrizia Hoyer, University of St Gallen,

Switzerland

‘The contributors to this book make a compelling

case for a greater consideration of discourse in

organizational psychology Focusing on discursive

psychology’s “potential for bringing about social

change or engaging with emancipatory projects”, the

chapters examine change from different perspectives

including participation, resistance, creativity and change

interventions The breadth of empirical settings is impressive, ranging from the

UN World Summit on Sustainable Development to the European Organization for

Nuclear Research (CERN) to multilingualism in multinational companies Similarly,

the book covers a range of different methods The contributions of discourse

are made clear so that readers can easily see how discourse can enhance our

understanding of organizational change.’

Handbook of Qualitative Research

Methods on Human Resource

Management

Innovative Techniques

Edited by Keith Townsend and Rebecca Loudoun,

Griffith University, Australia and David Lewin,

University of California Los Angeles, Anderson

School of Management, US

‘The editors of this compelling volume insist that

contemporary HRM scholarship can be as profound and

enduring as the classics in the study of work A revamped vision of qualitative

research, aiming to be “innovative and timeless”, should drive this agenda

The book urges researchers to draw on older disciplines – history, philosophy,

psychology, law, ethnography – in new ways and points to the promise of novel

methods, from photo-elicitation to cognitive mapping, which could drive HRM

research This is a call to do new things now and old things differently.’

of Western Ontario, Canada

Including chapters from leading theorists and

researchers from around the world, this Handbook

presents cumulated and cutting-edge research exploring what commitment is, the different forms

it can take, and how it is distinct from related concepts such as employee engagement, work motivation, embeddedness, the psychological contract, and organizational identification

Examining topics such as high-commitment work systems, work attitudes

and motivation, the Handbook provides integration with related literatures

Internationally applicable, sections also discuss the implications of culture differences for commitment and present the latest developments in research methods and analytic techniques that can be used to advance our understanding of commitment

Handbook of Research Methods on Intuition Edited by Marta Sinclair, Griffith University,

Australia

How does one go about studying intuition – a complex, cross-disciplinary field, which is still developing? How can intuition be captured in situ?

How can a researcher harness their own intuition?

This book uses method-related themes to help answer these questions and explore innovative developments in intuition research

The authors explore effects of cognitive systems and capabilities, the role of emotions and stress and highlight challenges of quantitative approaches They investigate qualitative techniques for mapping intuition, illustrate the use of grounded theory and, finally, review the role

of researchers’ own expertise and intuition This book will be invaluable for new and experienced scholars to help them expand their research methods repertoire

Empirical Legal Research

A Guidance Book for Lawyers, Legislators and Regulators

Frans L Leeuw, Maastricht University and Security and Justice Research

Center (WODC), with Hans Schmeets, Maastricht University and

Netherlands Statistics, the Netherlands

‘In 1788 John Adams created a sublime ambition for all nations – ‘a government

of laws and not of men’ In the intervening years we have come to learn that legislation itself works through the interpretations of the many men and women who work on the inside and the outside of the law Effective regulation thus depends not only on scrupulous legal analysis, with its appeal to precedent, conceptual clarity and argumentation, but also on sound empirical research, which often reveals diversity in implementation, enforcement and observance of the law in practice In this outstanding, worldly-wise book Leeuw and Schmeets demonstrate how to bridge the gap between the letter and the delivery of the law It is packed with examples, cases and illustrations that will have international appeal I recommend it to students and practitioners engaged across all domains of legislation and regulation.’

– Ray Pawson, University of Leeds, UK

A Short Introduction to Judging and to Legal Reasoning

Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UK and Sciences-Po, Paris, France

‘In this useful and timely book Geoffrey Samuel offers to his readers a new understanding of the rich complexity of legal reasoning – an understanding that has sometimes been lacking in accounts of law written from a single perspective Professor Samuel has made excellent use of his wide and deep knowledge of Roman law, of English legal history, of modern English law and of medieval and modern civil law The book is well set out, with clear, concise and apt quotations throughout.’

‘At a time when the performative demands of

the neo-liberal university threaten to marginalize

liberal and post-liberal traditions of critical enquiry,

it is important to be reminded that a quality

legal education can be both richly sceptical and

imaginative For those interested in deepening their students’ empirical,

normative and affective understanding of legal phenomena, and of their own

place in the legal world, this collection of essays offers both a multi-faceted

account of educational praxis and some persuasive examples of how we can

educate better.’

Research Methods in Public Policy & Politics Research Methods - General Interest

NEW

and Applications in Political

Science

Edited by Hans Keman and

Jaap J Woldendorp, Vrije Universiteit

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

‘It is rare for a book these days to seek to review

and draw together the whole range of what

political scientists – in many different countries and

with many different interests – actually do Given

the divisions in the discipline between quantitative

and qualitative, description and theorising, empirical and normative, it is

difficult to develop an integrated and coherent discussion, let alone do it well

and in sufficient detail to be methodologically and philosophically illuminating

But that is just what the editors and their collaborators have achieved in this

fine volume – partly by not evading the difficult issues of what, if anything, the

various approaches have in common and what they contribute to each other

and to practitioners and politicians in the every day world of politics All of

these questions are confronted head on in the various chapters, some of which

provide original technical analyses which could well stand in their own right as

contributions to the discipline None are less than provocative and interesting

presentations of their own point of view, whether this be philosophical or

methodological – and they all contribute substantial points to the discussion of

whether there is disciplinary unity or not.’

NEW KEY TITLE Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes

The Centrality of By-Products

of Social Research

Edited by Rosalind Edwards, University

of Southampton, John Goodwin and

Henrietta O’Connor, University of Leicester and Ann Phoenix, UCL Institute of Education, UK

‘Paradata will become increasingly important to researchers, both as an insight into the complexity and richness of participants and contexts, but also it has great potential to improve the quality of our research Ros Edwards and her colleagues have provided us with a wonderfully comprehensive set of essays that are both insightful and valuable This is a book which will have great appeal to students and professional researchers from both the quantitative and qualitative traditions.’

– Malcolm Williams, Cardiff University, UK

‘Taking an expansive and inclusive approach to its topic, Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes offers a stimulating tour of a neglected domain of methodology Readers who customarily regard paradata as a “dry and dull” element of data archiving will be delighted to read of the hidden corners of the research enterprise that this book’s understanding of paradata and marginalia illuminates Launching what is effectively a new field of inquiry, the book shows how these materials contribute to the field’s renewed process of self-discovery.’

– Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey, UK

‘This is an extremely important book that brings to the attention of social researchers and methodologists the fascinating potential and intrinsic interest

of three kinds of by-product of the research process – field notes, paradata, and marginalia Many of us are unfamiliar with all or some of these sources The book

is full of worked examples of their use which greatly enhances the book’s utility for all of us The editors and authors have done us all a great service in bringing to our attention research sources that can no longer be ignored.’

– Alan Bryman, University of Leicester, UK This book asks the important question; Can the by-products of research activity be treated as data and of research interest in themselves?

This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume considers the analytic value of a range of ‘by-products’ of social research and reading These include electronically captured paradata on survey administration, notes written in the margins of research documents and literary texts, and fieldnotes and ephemera produced

by social researchers Revealing the relational nature of paradata, marginalia and fieldnotes, contributions examine how the craft of studying and analysing these by-products offers insight into the intellectual, social and ethical processes underpinning the activities of research and reading

Unique and engaging, this book is a must read for social researchers and sociologists, narrative analysts, literary scholars and historians Bridging methodological boundaries, it will also prove of great value to quantitative and qualitative methodologists alike
