corporate social sustainability in supply chains a Thematic Analysis of the literature
International Journal of Production Research, 2018Co-Authors: Manmohan S. Sodhi, Christopher S. TangAbstract:This paper maps out different research strands using Thematic Analysis on the literature pertaining to large companies’ efforts on social sustainability in their supply chains. The data corpus for this Thematic Analysis is a broad sample of the literature with articles from different journals and employing different research methodologies. Each of the high-level themes is identified at a level high enough to apply to research into not only social but also economic or environmental sustainability. These eight themes – stakeholder pressure; governance; contingencies; practices; partnerships; barriers and enablers; performance; and optimisation for performance improvement and trade-off – are then woven into a Thematic map. We call this map the ‘4P’ model as it suggests that pressure and partnerships influence practices, which in turn impact performance. Researchers can use this Thematic classification not only to position their research within the social sustainability literature but also to integrate research on economic, environmental and social sustainability.

Attempting rigour and replicability in Thematic Analysis of qualitative research data; a case study of codebook development
BMC medical research methodology, 2019Co-Authors: Kate Roberts, Anthony Dowell, Jing-bao NieAbstract:Navigating the world of qualitative Thematic Analysis can be challenging. This is compounded by the fact that detailed descriptions of methods are often omitted from qualitative discussions. While qualitative research methodologies are now mature, there often remains a lack of fine detail in their description both at submitted peer reviewed article level and in textbooks. As one of research’s aims is to determine the relationship between knowledge and practice through the demonstration of rigour, more detailed descriptions of methods could prove useful. Rigour in quantitative research is often determined through detailed explanation allowing replication, but the ability to replicate is often not considered appropriate in qualitative research. However, a well described qualitative methodology could demonstrate and ensure the same effect. This article details the codebook development which contributed to Thematic Analysis of qualitative data. This Analysis formed part of a mixed methods multiphase design research project, with both qualitative and quantitative inquiry and involving the convergence of data and analyses. This design consisted of three distinct phases: quantitative, qualitative and implementation phases. This article is aimed at researchers and doctoral students new to Thematic Analysis by describing a framework to assist their processes. The detailed description of the methods used supports attempts to utilise the Thematic Analysis process and to determine rigour to support the establishment of credibility. This process will assist practitioners to be confident that the knowledge and claims contained within research are transferable to their practice. The approach described within this article builds on, and enhances, current accepted models.

Defining frailty for healthcare practice and research: A qualitative systematic review with Thematic Analysis
International journal of nursing studies, 2018Co-Authors: Duygu Sezgin, Mark O’donovan, Nicola Cornally, Aaron Liew, Rónán O’caoimhAbstract:Abstract Objective To identify and examine definitions of frailty using qualitative Thematic Analysis. Design A qualitative meta-aggregative systematic review. Data sources The database search was performed using ASSIA, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Studies providing definitions of frailty, published in English from 1st January 2000 to 25th July 2018 were included. Review methods Data were extracted by independent reviewers for qualitative Thematic Analysis. Results In total, 86 studies met inclusion criteria. Five major themes with specific sub-themes were identified following Thematic Analysis including: (1) types of definitions (operational, conceptual, theoretical, older adults’ perspective); (2) characteristics of frailty (a multi-domain and dimensional state, deficits/decline, weakness, a continuum-dynamic concept, clinically identifiable); (3) associated factors (age, comorbidity, nutrition, sarcopenia, social networks and environment); (4) mechanism (reduced adaptability, hormonal dysregulation); and (5) changes in health status and adverse outcomes (disability, increased risk of mortality, other healthcare related outcomes such as increased dependency or risk of falls). Conclusions Several themes were found that defined frailty, focusing predominantly on operational definitions and frailty as a physical syndrome. A universally accepted standard definition, which includes all dimensions of frailty is currently warranted.
