Abstract

This paper aims to illustrate how the methodological approach that researchers apply has implications not only for theory-building, insights, and theoretical conclusions but also for practices. The paper proposes French philosopher and sociologist Morin's (1990, 1992, 1997, 2005, 2008a, 2008b) methodological approach dialogic as an alternative and sophisticated approach to study and understand the complexity of opposing forces like tensions, paradoxes, and contradictions in organisation, leadership and management research. By applying the dialogic approach, the researcher is able to comprehend the antagonistic and the complementarity mechanisms of opposing forces simultaneously. The dialogic approach is proposed in the context of the oft-applied dualistic and dialectical research perspectives. To support the purpose of the paper, self-management as a research subject is used to illustrate the implications for applying different research methodologies.
