While grounded theory research studies are characterized by their inductive nature, researchers often engage with existing theories to provide context, guide their exploration, and enhance the theoretical sensitivity of their study. The quest for a…
Does the grounded theory research study need a theoretical framework?
Grounded theory research studies typically do not start with a pre-established theoretical framework in the traditional sense. The hallmark of grounded theory is its inductive approach, emphasizing the development of theory from the data rather…
