Why Should the Q-method be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study
2019
The Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards the integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of t…
Measuring Tourist Satisfaction Through a Dual Approach: The 4Q Methodology
2018
Tourist satisfaction is one of the key factors in determining the success of a tourist destination, since it affects behavioural intentions, such as the willingness to revisit and recommend the destination. Therefore, much research has addressed the measuring of tourist satisfaction, either eliciting positive or negative evaluations of a holiday or destination. The spread between expected positive and negative characteristics can trigger a tourist experience. And the gap between expectations and perceptions will produce a feeling of satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Expectancy-Disconfirmation Paradigm, EDP). Under these conditions, this paper adopts a dual approach, considering tourist satis…
Ambiguity tolerance as an instrument of learner profiling : a Q methodological study of how upper secondary school students' perceptions of EFL readi…
2013
Ihmiset suhtautuvat havaitsemaansa monitulkintaisuuteen yksilöllisesti. Siinä missä toiset kiistävät jopa monimerkityksellisyyden teoreettisen mahdollisuuden, hakeutuvat toiset mielellään epävarmoihin olosuhteisiin ja monimutkaisten tehtävien pariin. Monitulkintaisuuden sietäminen on yksilöllinen, tilannesidonnainen piirre. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään kuinka tämä piirre näyttäytyy englantia opiskelevien lukiolaisten tavoissa suhtautua englanninkieliseen lukemiseen - toimeen, jossa kohdataan runsaasti epävarmuutta ja toimitaan osin arvailujen varassa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli koota oppijaprofiloinnin kautta kokonaisvaltainen kuva siitä, mitä monitulkintaisuuden sietäminen englanninkie…
Understanding the challenges of rapid digital transformation : the case of COVID-19 pandemic in higher education
2021
Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four pat…
Measuring tourist satisfaction and dissatisfaction: adaptation of the 4Q methodology to the case of web based data
2019
Tourist satisfaction has been studied so far using many different theoretical approaches and measurement models. In doing that, scholars have considered satisfaction and dissatisfaction either as two extremes on a single continuum or two distinct conceptual dimensions, i.e. tourist satisfaction (TS) and tourist dissatisfaction (TD) (Alegre and Garau, 2010). In line with the latter approach, known as dual approach, the 4Q is a methodology which permits to measure TS and TD through the administration of just four open-ended questions to tourists (Oliveri et al., 2018). The main feature of the 4Q methodology is that data regarding dozens of TS and TD elementary indicators can be drawn from the…
