Positivism Popper’s modified positivist methodology emphasizes objectivity and unbiased data collection in order to test hypotheses against an accessible independent social reality in order to protect against “fanciful theorizing in management research” (Donaldson, 1996: 164). Hence 4 key evaluation criteria: ? Internal validity whether what are interpreted as the “causes” produce the “effects” in a given piece of research necessitates creating, or simulating, conditions of closure which allow empirical testing。 ? Reliability with dependability (minimization of researcher idiosyncrasies)。 ? Recontextualizing (abstracting emergent theory to new setting and relating it to established knowledge). ? Hammersley (1989。 treat setting as anthropologically strange。 ? Democracy and reflexivity as epistemic standards key to enabling this is the development of a critical consciousness where ... “...first to understand the ideologically distorted subjective situation of some individual or group, second to explore the forces that have caused that situation, and third to show that these forces can be overe through awareness of them on the part of the oppressed individual or group in question” (Dryzek, 1995: 99). ? Epistemologically legitimate knowledge arises where it is the oute of empowered democratic collective dialogu
