| Summary: | All research is influenced by those undertaking it. Reflexivity is the ability of a researcher to acknowledge and self-examine their thoughts, feelings, values, biases, and perspectives and the impact that those might have on the research decisions they make. Adopting a reflexive methodology involves having a focused and explicit awareness of how researcher background, experience, and subjectivity impact the research process in all facets, from problem formulation to developing research questions, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting on findings. A reflexive methodology aims to minimize the unintended impacts of biases and provide transparency about the influence of the researcher on the research outcomes. This guide explains the purpose of a reflexive methodology in business research and methods suitable for incorporating this approach. It also encourages students to recognize the fundamental importance of reflexivity in research and how to devise a plan to adopt such an approach in their own qualitative research projects. |
