Publication Adapting Practices from Qualitative Research to Tell a Compelling Story: A Practical Framework for Conducting a Literature Review(The Qualitative Report, 2021-05-06) Kalpokas Matulaityte, Neringa; Radivojevic, Ivana; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75Despite the literature review being a common task for researchers, the actual process of conducting a quality literature review can easily be taken for granted. In effort to help qualitative researchers, this paper presents a practical framework for conducting a literature review that stems from qualitative research practices. As a literature review is essentially an analysis of rich textual information, qualitative research concepts, and skills can be creatively applied to the process of conducting a literature review. The present paper aims to share the fruits of qualitative analysis with researchers from all disciplines so that they may make sense of this rich information and tell a coherent and compelling story regarding their own analysis. In particular, this paper outlines foundational similarities between qualitative research and literature reviews and then proceeds to provide adaptable guidelines for connecting qualitative research skills to carrying out a rigorous literature review. We hope to incite curiosity and reflection on how qualitative research skills can be valuable beyond just analyzing qualitative data.Publication Demystifying Qualitative Data Analysis for Novice Qualitative Researchers(TQR, 2019-04-14) Kalpokas Matulaityte, Neringa; Radivojevic, Ivana; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75Qualitative research is a rich and diverse discipline, yet novice qualitative researchers may struggle in discerning how to approach their qualitative data analysis among the plethora of possibilities. This paper presents a foundational model that facilitates a comprehensive yet manageable approach to qualitative data analysis, and it can be applied within an array of qualitative methodologies. Based on an exhaustive review of expert qualitative methodologists, along with our own experience of teaching qualitative research, this model synthesises commonly-used analytic strategies and methods that are likewise applicable to novice qualitative researchers. This foundational model consists of four iterative cycles: The Inspection Cycle, Coding Cycle, Categorisation Cycle, and Modelling Cycle, and memo-writing is inherent to the entire analysis process. Our goal is to offer a solid foundation from which novice qualitative researchers may begin familiarising themselves with the craft of qualitative research and continue discovering methods for making sense of qualitative dataPublication Exploring How Self-Organizing Communities are Sustained(IE Univerity, 2024) Radivojevic, Ivana; Tenhiälä, Aino; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75This dissertation investigates the evolving landscape of work driven by self-organizing processes, focusing on their impact on worker contributions and experiences. The first study examines the outcomes of decentralizing employee development within organizations. By analyzing a mixedmethods case study of SelfCo, where employee development is managed through a peer-to-peer digital platform, the study investigates whether employees can capture returns from proactively participating in development services. Using archival personnel data, fuzzy sets qualitative comparative analysis, and in-depth interviews, the study explores how human and social capital investments relate to salary increases and identifies patterns of development investments that lead to individual returns. The second study explores the management of fear-based stigma in stigmatized occupations, specifically focusing on hacking. By analyzing public narratives and conducting interviews with hackers and platform leaders, this study develops a process model of stigma management tactics. It reveals how stigmatization can blend identities and practices, and how individuals can correct misattributed fear-based stigma to convey the positive value of their occupation. The third study analyzes engagement dynamics in the gig economy, focusing on the interaction between individual workers and digital intermediaries. This conceptual study introduces the notion of engagement funnels, describing how platforms manage varying degrees of worker engagement through self-selection mechanisms. The study highlights the importance of understanding engagement structures that facilitate both paid and unpaid contributions, supporting the gig economy's sustainability. Overall, this dissertation contributes to literature on employee-driven development, stigma management, and engagement in the gig economy. By drawing on human capital theory, stigma management, and signaling theory, it extends our understanding of how communities within and across organizations can support individuals' careers, well-being, and engagement.Publication “I wish I knew what I know now”: Exploring Psychology Undergraduate Students’ Experiences When Learning About Qualitative Research and CAQDAS(The Qualitative Report, 2020-07-08) Kalpokas Matulaityte, Neringa; Radivojevic, Ivana; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75Learning to conduct qualitative research and use computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) can be challenging, which is why it may be more effective to introduce the craft of qualitative research to undergraduate students who have the time and space to learn, even make mistakes, and ultimately build a better understanding for their future studies and careers. There are relatively few published studies sharing insights on teaching qualitative research and CAQDAS to undergraduate students. This descriptive qualitative case study explores students’ experiences in a qualitative research course for undergraduate psychology students, with the aim of discerning how feasible learning both qualitative research and CAQDAS was for these students as well as how they perceived learning about these contents. Data was collected from an online open-ended survey from two consecutive generations of students that completed the course. Students found the course to be a challenging but worthwhile experience: new knowledge and skills were gained that they felt would be useful for their professional and even personal lives. These students recognized that the qualitative research course was an important complement to their predominantly quantitative curriculum. By teaching undergraduate students about qualitative research and CAQDAS, professors can teach their students in a lower-stakes environment and provide them with valuable hands-on experience so that students may later make better-informed decisions about which research approach to use in their own projects and continued studies or work.Publication When apologizing hurts: Felt transgression and restoration efforts(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023) Li, Shike; Radivojevic, Ivana; Conrad, Carlina; Jain, Kriti; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; European Regional Development Fund; Agencia Estatal de Investigación; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75Apologizing is important for conflict resolution and relationship reconciliation,yet apologies often fail to restore the damaged relationship. While much research has been devoted to investigating the victims' reactions upon receiving an apology,in this paper,we adopt an apologizer-centric approach and explore the phenomenon of apologizing with no felt transgression (vis-à-vis when there is felt transgression) along with its affective and reconciliation outcomes for the apologizer. Based on Appraisal Tendency Framework,we predict that apologizing with no felt transgression will lead to reduced guilt and increased anger in the apologizer,which will result in a decreased level of their restoration efforts towards the victim. In addition,we further hypothesize about the role of organizational conflict cultures in influencing the relationship between apologizing and restoration efforts via guilt and anger. Study 1 uses a micro-narrative procedure and an inductive data analysis approach to demonstrate the varied situations and motivations of employees apologizing with (no) felt transgression,Study 2 utilizes an experimental design to examine the mediation effect,and Study 3 employs the critical incident technique to test our whole research model. Our hypotheses were largely supported across our studies. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. © 2022 The Authors.
