Resumen

Mediante el presente trabajo se establecen las aportaciones que diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas pueden ofrecer en un campo tan dinámico y flexible como es el del cambio organizacional y actitudinal, más concretamente en la interinfluencia que se puede dar entre las innovaciones tecnológicas y el significado percibido del trabajo. Se ha observado que ambas aproximaciones metodológicas (cuantitativa y cualitativa) muestran resultados y conclusiones similares. Sin embargo, la aproximación cualitativa resulta mucho más enriquecedora cuando se analizan aspectos novedosos, globales y cambiantes, sobre los que no existen teorías previas o específicas.

Abstract

This paper studies the contribution of different methodological approaches to the field of organizational and attitudinal change; this field is characterized by being flexible and dynamic. The paper deals, specifically, with the relation between technological innovations and the meaning of work. This article advances that both approaches (qualitative paradigm and quantitative paradigm) show similar results and conclusions. However, the qualitative approach is considered more adjusted when research deals with topics with a high degree of novelty, more holistic, and without previous theoretical framework.
