| Research on professionals and their work-places is becoming increasingly popular, reflecting the growing importance of experts and other knowledge workers in contemporary society (Empson, et al., 2015). Yet we also observe that the range of research methods commonly used to help us understand these contexts seems to be limited (Muzio, Brock & Suddaby, 2013). Following from last year's successful PDW, this year we will discuss another three methodological issues that not only suit the professional context but also address the gaps in researching these fields -- namely people analytics, elite interviewing, and ethnographic research. Each of these topics will be introduced by an expert who has succeeded in deploying these methods in professional organizational research. We will also address possible advantages of combining various approaches. The PDW will also afford significant opportunity for small group interactions with our expert panelists and editors. |
| Prospective participants are welcome to contact the organizers, David Brock (dmb@bgu.ac.il), Beth Goodrick (goodrick@fau.edu), Huseyin Leblebici, (hleblebi@illinois.edu) and Daniel Muzio (daniel.muzio@newcastle.ac.uk) in advance with any questions or suggestions at all concerning the PDW, research in professional organizations, or queries about the Journal or Professions and Organization (http://jpo.oxfordjournals.org/). |
