The phenomenological and ethnography designs were inappropriate for this proposed qualitative research. The phenomenological research design stems from psychology and philosophy (Petty, Thomson, & Stew, 2012). The lived experiences of the study participants and the exploration of the phenomenon are the focus of the phenomenological research design (Finlay, 2013; Gill, 2014; Moustakas, 1994). The phenomenological research design could be useful to help capture lived experiences, but not well suited to gain in-depth knowledge about the topic that is to learn from strategies regarding lean training. For this reason, the phenomenological research design was not a selection for this proposed study.
The ethnographic approach explores behaviors and activities within the specific environment of the participants living in the village, community, or culture (Watkins, 2012). The focus of this qualitative research study is not to explore a culture or group. The aim of this qualitative research study is to gain knowledge from healthcare managers of strategies used to address lean training. Therefore, the ethnographic design was not a selection for this study.
Data saturation is when no new data, information, or findings materialize through the interview process (O’Reilly & …show more content…
As noted by Petty et al. (2012), data saturation achievement occurs when no new themes are emerging. As noted by O’Reilly and Parker (2013), data saturation occurs to when no new themes surface and the same information materializes from the interview process. Onwueguzie and Byers (2014) discussed how data saturation pertains to the research interview process. Criterion-based sampling will occur in this study to acquire participants who could answer the research question. I will continue to interview new participants until no new data emerges from additional interviewing and data collection
