Hello Marcus,


Thank you for your post!


I appreciate the point you make regarding the development of relationships within an organization, especially in your chosen position of human resources. I wonder how this might look different today, in a post-covid world, than it has traditionally. What additional or different steps might you need to take to develop trust with employees virtually? How can one foster connection with required social distancing or removing facial cues (via mask policies)? Check out the resources offered here: https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/all-things-work/pages/trust-has-never-been-more-important.aspx


CLASS, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this in whatever context is appropriate to your career field!

After completing my degree, I am still planning to work inside my organization as a leader. My relationship with the organization does not affect my decisions regarding policies, procedures, and practices that govern how the organization should operate and has proven to be successful if followed correctly. I wouldn't allow my position to gain information that may get seen as invalid. Yet, working within an organization comes with advantages and disadvantages. Brannick and Coghlan's (2007) article explains that preunderstanding your organization could mean that you know who to turn to for information and that you have a piece of knowledge of how the organization works. Yet thinking objectively as an individual who works inside the organization in which they are doing research, they may assume too much and not probe as much as they were when interviewing.


A researcher may feel knowledgeable in certain areas and can answer the respondent's question for them and not expose their current thinking to alternative refraining (Brannick and Coghlan, 2007). The researcher could struggle to find information that gets seen as relevant if denied access. Yet access to information could get limited or could be available depending on how it gets used within the research and if it highlights the organization in a positive or negative light. Also, getting information from staff members could pose a issue. They may disclose information because of your position, yet the information they give might cause them to act differently around you in the future because maybe they felt like they had to share even if they didn't want to share because of the researcher's position.


Developing and maintaining effective working relationships can be seen as a challenge if not done correctly. Leadership within an organization sets people apart; however, the gap gets smaller when the leader becomes the researcher and can cause variations in the staff's character and ability to be open and restricted. A researcher's relationship with those within the organization can affect the data gathered from working day to day with them.


Thanks,

Brannick and Coghlan (2007) refer to three different research models. These research models include positivism, hermeneutic, and action research. Positivism is a dominant approach that highlights an external reality, and an independent researcher can examine this external reality. Hermeneutic research is also a main approach and has been referred to as relativist and constructivist approach. This model emphasizes there is no external reality, and the researcher is part of the research process. Action research concentrates on exposing interests and is interested in a particular knowledge. This approach focuses on research in action. It takes action and creates knowledge (Brannick & Coghlan, 2007).


There are disadvantages and advantages to working within the organization while conducting research and being in an external position. Researchers who take part in a research project within their own organization are already deeply involved and have built up knowledge of the organization. Insider research can also be a collaboration between insiders and outsiders. The researchers who are already involved in the organization have available primary access. They can get into the organizational system and have primary access compared to those who do not work for the organization. They also have secondary access which includes documentation, data, people, and meetings. Those researchers already involved in the organization have preunderstanding and insight. Unfortunately, there may be times where the researcher may develop role conflict while conducting research. They may be caught in loyalty tugs, behavioral claims, and identification dilemmas (Brannick & Coghlan, 2007). Managing the politics involved within an organization may also create a disadvantage compared to an outside researcher.


I would prefer to stay with my organization and be able to take advantage of those advantages while conducting research within. I think having firsthand knowledge and primary access would be beneficial.

Dear Stephanie,
Good Day to You!
Hope you are doing well and staying safe! Indeed, I agree with you develop trust
in the team is crucial for collaboration and team work. With pandemic and spread of COVID virus entire ways of working has transformed such that working from home has become the new normal. However, it is important to maintain social distance in order to curtail the spread of the virus. There are numerous advantages for remote ways of working yet it challenges the interconnection with the teams. I strongly believe that in order to foster connection with different members of the team who are working remotely needs to communicate regularly. Team leaders need to offer more feedback to the members such that they are able to interact freely. Trust is crucial for effective working of team because it offers a strong sense of safety. While the team members feel safe with others together, it might feel more comfortable to respond openly with appropriate ways to approach the problem at hand. There are numerous platforms available today which can foster instant feedback and regular feedback. Video communications can offer platform for face-to-face conversations with team all across the business. There are many platforms that can offer employees space to connect with each other while working from home.
