Case Study 1

1) The author appears to have had difficulties recruiting interviewees (see especially p.s102). Why, for example, might an organization withdraw “from the study claiming “restructuring was in progress”? (p.102)

A researcher who has been given the permission of conducting the research in an organization has several benefits that an organization can achieve. The researcher over here is examining the recruiting process of various organizations. The research was conducted in order to explore the leaders in diversity in the organization. Apart from that, the research also focuses on the perception and experiences of employees within the organization. The research has benefited the organization in several ways. First of all the research has proved to be cost effective for the organization as the company does not have to pay for the research to be conducted. This research will be highlighting the various aspects of employee experiences and perceptions regarding the organization. The organization on the other hand is getting a free survey of its employees and their valuable feedback. The result will help the organization in making itself better by catering to the problems and perceptions of their employees. The research is not only helping the organization in getting information but it is also violating the company's confidentiality. According to the case study, one of the organizations has backed out from the research. The main reason for the organization to back out from the research is the issue of confidentiality. The organization does not want its employee information or their perception to be published publically. Gaining access to research may vary greatly, depending on the type of case under investigation. In fact, researchers often spend a considerable amount of time on this task. There is broad agreement on the participants' interests in privacy, and the respective responsibilities of researchers treat personal information confidentially. Indeed, respect for private life in the study of the internationally recognized standards and ethics. Nevertheless, many researchers do not describe their access to research in their research reports. In addition, many organizations refuse access because of the failure of the scientist to answer that, how and why they are doing research, and whether the study will provide the value of the organization (Coleman, 1996). She recognized the importance of access, but very minimal was written on the issues and problems of access (Feldman et al, 2003). We address this omission by sharing their experiences in gaining access to field research, based on our doctoral studies. Confidentiality risks in research related to the identifiability of the participants and their potential harm, or the groups to which they belong, may arise from the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Privacy risks arise at all stages of the life cycle of research, including the initial information gathering, use and analysis to address research, dissemination of research results, storage and preservation, and delete records or devices on which information is stored.
