Abstract

La lecture des recherches qualitatives en management dans les journaux scientifiques européens révèle une grande variété de méthodes de collecte (i.e. entretien clinique, Harding, 2008 ; retranscription de réunion, Whittle et al., 2014 ; observation des pratiques des acteurs, Jarzabkowski, Spee, et Smets, 2013) et d'analyse des données (i.e. ethnométhodologie, Samra-Fredericks, 2003 ; et analyse conversationnelle, Samra-Fredericks, 2005 ; analyse narrative et ante-narrative, Boje, 2001 ; Whittle et Mueller, 2011). Loin de se confondre aux seules études de cas -terme au demeurant trompeur tant il renvoie à des postures différentes, on le verra-, ces recherches relèvent en outre de design aussi divers que l'ethnographie (Rouleau, 2005) ou la recherche-action participative (Whittle et al., 2014). Cette variété des approches peut être éclairée par les critiques et débats soulevés par ce qui est souvent présentée comme « la voie royale » de la recherche qualitative dans les supports de publication académiques nord-américains. Trois ensembles de critiques portant sur la collecte des données, les méthodes d'analyse puis le design de recherche de cette approche sont dans un premier temps rappelés. Ces critiques ont en effet suscité des interrogations portant sur le statut des données de discours collectées, sur les discours produits par le chercheur lui-même, et sur son rôle et sa place dans le processus de recherche. Les réflexions suscitées par ces trois ensembles de questions et leurs incidences sur les orientations méthodologiques dans la recherche en management sont ensuite présentées comme autant de tournants (tournants discursif, critique et réflexif) et chemins de traverse. Nous concluons ce panorama nécessairement parcellaire en discutant certaines des difficultés auxquels la recherche qualitative est aujourd'hui confrontée.
