Methodology and empirical research

Abstract

This research interpretative approach with an extend theoretical part in terms of method does not exclude the need for an empirical part with the aim of checking and correcting the proposed models, according to the organizational management practices in international NGOs. This mirrors the proposal by Lessard-Hébert, Boutin, & Goyette (1997) to categorize the methodological procedures within a dissertation into four groups: epistemological (1), theoretical (2), morphological (3), and technical (4). The first is related to the nature of the knowledge, paradigms. The second looks at the organization of concepts and theories.
