Join us for this highly interactive Symposium!
1288: Advancing Action Research for Personal, Team, and Organizational Transformation
The Advancing Action Research for Personal, Team, and Organizational Transformation Symposium presents an innovative action research paradigm of social science and transformation: Collaborative Developmental Action Inquiry (CDAI). Action research focuses on real organizational issues rather than issues created for research purposes. Indeed, it aims not only to understand social phenomena but also to realize effective change as a path to generating knowledge. The CDAI paradigm integrates quantitative, qualitative, and action research methodology by interweaving first-, second-, and third-person research/practice that simultaneously describe and transform actors and social systems. To indicate how the interplay of these three different levels of engagement enables the enactment of action research in contemporary organizations, three doctoral students will offer lively accounts of their research. A significant remainder of the symposium will be interactive and devoted to sharing participants' viewpoints, experiences, and ideas on action-oriented research. We aim to co-create timely action to establish such transformational approaches further.
