Ethnography is a branch of anthropology and the systematic study of individual cultures. Ethnography explores cultural phenomena from the point of view of the subject of the study. Ethnography is also a type of social research that involves examining the behavior of the participants in a given social situation and understanding the group members' own interpretation of such behavior.
Qualitative research is a type of research that aims to gather and analyse non-numerical (descriptive) data in order to gain an understanding of individuals' social reality,including understanding their attitudes,beliefs,and motivation. This type of research typically involves in-depth interviews,focus groups,or observations in order to collect data that is rich in detail and context. Qualitative research is often used to explore complex phenomena or to gain insight into people's experiences and perspectives on a particular topic. It is particularly useful when researchers want to understand the meaning that people attach to their experiences or when they want to uncover the underlying reasons for people's behavior. Qualitative methods include ethnography,grounded theory,discourse analysis,and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Qualitative research methods have been used in sociology,anthropology,political science,psychology,social work,folklore,educational research and software engineering research.
Narrative inquiry or narrative analysis emerged as a discipline from within the broader field of qualitative research in the early 20th century,as evidence exists that this method was used in psychology and sociology. Narrative inquiry uses field texts,such as stories,autobiography,journals,field notes,letters,conversations,interviews,family stories,photos,and life experience,as the units of analysis to research and understand the way people create meaning in their lives as narratives.

There is a widespread claim that businesses benefit by having diversity in their work force. The business case for diversity stems from the progression of the models of diversity within the workplace since the 1960s. In the United States,the original model for diversity was situated around affirmative action drawing from equal opportunity employment objectives implemented in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Equal employment opportunity was centered around the idea that any individual academically or physically qualified for a specific job could strive for at obtaining the said job without being discriminated against based on identity. This compliance-based model gave rise to the idea that tokenism was the reason an individual was hired into a company when they differed from the dominant group. Dissatisfaction from minority groups eventually altered and/or raised the desire to achieve perfect employment opportunities in every job.

Critical realism is a philosophical approach to understanding science,and in particular social science,initially developed by Roy Bhaskar (1944–2014). It specifically opposes forms of empiricism and positivism by viewing science as concerned with identifying causal mechanisms. In the last decades of the twentieth century it also stood against various forms of postmodernism and poststructuralism by insisting on the reality of objective existence. In contrast to positivism's methodological foundation,and poststructuralism's epistemological foundation,critical realism insists that (social) science should be built from an explicit ontology. Critical realism is one of a range of types of philosophical realism,as well as forms of realism advocated within social science such as analytic realism and subtle realism.
Sociomateriality is a theory built upon the intersection of technology,work and organization,that attempts to understand "the constitutive entanglement of the social and the material in everyday organizational life." It is the result of considering how human bodies,spatial arrangements,physical objects,and technologies are entangled with language,interaction,and practices in organizing. Specifically,it examines the social and material aspects of technology and organization,but also emphasizes the centrality of materials within the communicative constitution of organizations. It offers a novel way to study technology at the workplace,since it allows researchers to study the social and the material simultaneously.
