{"title":"A scholarly journey to autoethnography: a way to understand, survive and resist","authors":"J. Johnson-Bailey","doi":"10.4337/9781788977937.00008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788977937.00008","url":null,"abstract":"Autoethnography as a qualitative research method uses the autobiography of the researcher, often highlighting related experiences, and examining those incidences in relation to the cultural context. The process of doing autoethnography is a performative approach that searches for meaning and understanding. This method, which evolved from narratives and the first-person storying of the autobiography combined with ethnographic practices, has emerged slowly over the last two decades from the shadows of the qualitative field. Yet, autoethnography maintains a questionable and tenuous status among the genre of interpretive methods: narratives, biographies, autobiographies, counter stories and oral histories (Denzin, 2013; Ellis, 2001, 2016). Accordingly, the method still exists at the boundaries of scholarly inquiry (Sambrook & Herrmann, 2018; Sparkes, 2007). Autoethnography has not only been termed as experimental, but has been labeled as self-indulgent and narcissistic (Krizek, 2003) and as a method devoid of validity and reliability (Maréchal, 2010). One major argument that is often lobbed against the method is that the “self” is centered and is all powerful since the researcher both generates the data and analyzes it (Coffey, 1999; Denzin & Lincoln, 2002). However, in this chapter, it is argued that autoethnography stands apart in the category of interpretive methods because it occupies a progressive and unique position mainly because of its valiance: that is, it employs not only revelation, reflexivity and self-critique, but goes further by locating the autobiography within a cultural context that is subsequently analyzed. This courageous methodological approach is interactive as the researcher works through the tension within the text in the presence of the other, the reader. Therein, subjectivity is not represented as a stance to be accounted for by the research; it is instead boldly foregrounded as an essential operant. While sharing and reflecting on personal experiences, the researcher, who is using their personal episodes to tell, is scaffolding the autobiography by involving and speaking to the social, political and cultural environment in which the life stories unfold. This practice of platforming ensconces autoethnography in a myriad of dualities, as it is simultaneously a method and a text; a private matter and an issue seen by others; an insider’s perspective and an outsider’s analysis; and an ongoing struggle and yet a fait accompli. The use of autoethnography is clearly visible among feminist researchers in their sociological examinations of a wide range of topics, with lived experiences of the women researchers being assessed using the phenomenon of gender as the culture that frames the assessment (Coia & Taylor, 2013; Edwards, 2017; Griffin, 2012;","PeriodicalId":278116,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115106150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the situated nature of gender within a broader cultural context which needs further consideration when designing observational study methods. By using action learning (AL) sets as our focal point, we illustrate the constrained nature of participant observations and direct attention towards the interplay of subjective dimensions (e.g. positionality, identity and tendencies) of power unfolding between the observer and those being observed. In so doing, we highlight key features and the process of participant observations through our study of MBA students on an AL programme at three Pakistani business schools. Our study acts as a steppingstone for scholars in considering the challenges and ethical concerns of using participant observations as research method for studying gender.","PeriodicalId":278116,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123484314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior studies suggest that family businesses may provide a harbour where women have the opportunity to manage existing businesses and create new ventures. Yet, whilst scholars have noted the crucial input of women in the creation, development and continuity of family businesses, their experience as successors is not unproblematic. This chapter argues that the perceived role of women could remain unchallenged unless methods that allow fresh understanding of the complex narratives and emotional components of family business succession are considered. The study presented in this chapter uses an autoethnographic illustration of a son and expected successor of a family business as he reflects on the memories and experiences related to a women becoming the successor of his family in business. This chapter will be of interest to academics who seek new approaches to understand complex gendered relations in family businesses.","PeriodicalId":278116,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126272741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Introduction to the Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","authors":"Valerie Stead, C. Elliott, S. Mavin","doi":"10.4337/9781788977937.00006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788977937.00006","url":null,"abstract":"The motivation for this Handbook is to provide an essential resource for researchers in gender and management, and for those in other fields of study including adult education, leadership, culture, media and politics. Gender and management research is challenging, conducted in a wide range of geographical and organisational contexts, approached from individual, organisational and social levels of analysis. In this Handbook, contributing authors are unified in understanding gender as a complex, dynamic, socially constructed phenomenon, (re)created through processes and practices that maintain difference. This understanding brings attention to the ongoing ‘doing’ of gender, and how it is socially situated in our everyday practice, including in organisational and workplace contexts. Typically focused upon deeply embedded social issues and structural inequalities, gender and management research is concerned to make these issues and inequalities explicit within a particular socio-cultural and political context, and to provide understandings of how and why they persist in order to inform action for change. Gender and management scholars therefore require a repertoire of methodologies and methods capable of getting under the surface of everyday discourses, practices and processes, organisational routines and systems to access how gender organises, shapes, operates and influences. Evidencing the broad reach and fundamental importance of gender and management research, contributors to the Handbook are internationally diverse and draw on multiple disciplines in their research. These include management; leadership; organisation studies; public administration; sport; critical policy; entrepreneurship; accounting; sociology; cultural studies; adult education; ethics; philosophy; human resource development; media studies; and science and technology studies. The Handbook encompasses methodologies and methods that probe, explore and unearth gendered behaviours, interactions, systems, processes and practices. These include methods and approaches rarely utilised in gender and management research such as oral history, institutional ethnography, and quantitative methods for mining large volumes of data. Our categorisation of chapters emphasising either the autoethnographic, practical, critical or methodological acknowledges a primary focal point in each of the studies. However, we recognise that this is by no means a perfect categorisation and that the chapters, reflective of the multiplicity of gender and management research, may easily span different categories. Nonetheless, we hope this categorisation, and the acknowledgement of their interconnections, is helpful in recognising how gender and management research cannot work in isolation from the broader socio-cultural context, but must continually strive to challenge, question and call to account the wider systems in which we work and live.","PeriodicalId":278116,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124419141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, we call for a greater critical engagement of gender scholars with quantitative methods to use data with a feminist purpose.","PeriodicalId":278116,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of Research Methods on Gender and Management","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116710670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
