Multi Method Qualitative Research Study in Management

Abstract

This article explores how Multi-Method qualitative research supports in-depth qualitative research, the positive and negative implications of the Multi-Method qualitative process in research and discusses the advantages, challenges, and limitations. Furthermore, this article has used a systemic literature review to show the triangulation of the data to validate and provide credibility by complementing the research results. These article further offers insights to the researchers who plan to conduct a Multi-Method qualitative study despite the critics in this field. For the Literature review, the researcher referred to 25 existing journal articles available digitally in the related area and carefully analysed them using descriptive research to develop this article with available data collected. This study concluded that the multi-method approach is a worthwhile procedure to overcome barriers in Mono-Method qualitative study, which mainly comprises analysing only one area of an issue. Therefore, Multi-Method enhances the validity of qualitative research on a management discipline research work.
