“…Because these media do not involve vocal tone, inflection, and body language, their use in interviewing may result in the misinterpretation of the meaning of the questions (Bianco & CarrChellman, 2002;Kazmer & Xie, 2008). These key components differentiate this mode from in-person, phone, and video interviewing.…”

“…If such outside stimuli exist while respondents are participating in an interview, they can become disengaged. Fortunately, this mode allows for synchronous interviewing, or interviewing where questions and responses are exchanged in real time (Kazmer & Xie, 2008), so the interviewer can assist in engaging respondents in the same manner used in computer-assisted telephone interviewing studies, only via text instead of speech.…”

“…The researcher does not need to record responses, as in a phone interview. For studies where transcripts are required, the researcher also does not have to go back to an audio recording and determine which utterances or pieces of conversation should be transcribed, because that is already completed (Kazmer & Xie, 2008).…”

“…Researchers need to ensure that they are familiar with the equipment and how to use it (Kazmer and Xie, 2008). The equipment may suffer from breakdown or malfunction (Kazmer and Xie, 2008) and therefore should be tested (Burke and Miller, 2001).…”

Purpose: The aims of this study are to: (1) review the literature examining the arguments for and against the telephonic qualitative research interview, (2) to develop criteria for assessing when the use of the telephone is suitable in qualitative research, and if suitable (3) to offer detailed strategies for the effective use of this data collection instrument.Design/methodology/approach: The study is a thematic analysis of the literature, informed by the authors' experiences using the telephone, computer-based audio, and face-to-face interviews for an accounting research project involving 50 semi-structured interviews with managers. Findings:The study identifies five criteria to determine the suitability of using the telephone in qualitative research interviews. In addition, the study offers a set of detailed strategies on what to do before, during and after a telephonic qualitative research interview. Research implications:The study can assist qualitative researchers in deciding when to use the telephone and how to use it effectively.Originality/value: The study builds on the limited prior research and provides a more complete list of strategies on the effective use of the telephone in qualitative social sciences research. These strategies are a synthesis of existing studies and observations drawn from the authors' study, which examines the work of organisational managers. In comparison, prior studies have been based on research projects that explored sensitive personal issues and emotive experiences not always related to managerial work.

Attribute imbalances and innovation implementation based on grounded theory: A case of Chinese enterprises in Gansu Province

et al. 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore what are the determinant influencing factors of the dilemma faced by state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) in implementing innovation‐driven development strategy (IDDS), to propose a suitable localized theory. It also suggests specific actions to break the post‐effects dilemma with the support of this theory. Based on the innovation‐driven survey data of provincial SOEs in Gansu Province, this study adopts grounded theory to conduct exploratory research. This paper constructs a behavior process model of “pre‐motivation, innovation path, and post‐effects dilemma” to drive SOE's innovation and expounds on the incidence relation among the three. The results show that the external administrative force and institutional mechanism drive have both indirect and direct impacts on the innovation path choice of SOEs. The endogenous drive is distorted by external administrative force and institutional mechanism drive, leading to the limited innovation path choice and post‐effects dilemma. This paper puts forward the theory of “Attribute Imbalance–Weakened Autonomy–Sluggish Innovation” and explains why it is sometimes difficult to implement the IDDS of SOEs. However, there are some regional limitations in the application scenarios of the theory. Whether it has broader implications need to further explore. Future theoretical testing should be conducted with a sample of SOEs in developed market regions. It is possible to study the differences in the degree of government intervention in SOEs, the ways of intervention, and the impact of these differences on SOEs' balancing dual attribute conflicts.
