In this chapter the authors consider articles in professional literature regarding Human Resource Centers, with the goal to explore issues raised by practice: motivation, risk analysis, structure and implementation. Using Grounded Theory approach, they analysed 34 articles, and through open and axial coding, we have modeled the HR SSC’s.

Facility planning will be successful if every process always consider the user and activities aspects. This aspects also applies to the agrotourism area, where tourist preference and segmentation can be used to understand visitor desires. This research  aims to identify preferences and characteristics of the tourist segmentation in the visited agrotourism areas. This research used a grounded theory approach with qualitative exploratory methods. Data was collected online in an open–ended and close–ended questionnaire which was analyzed in 3 steps; open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Based on the analysis results, tourists’ preference for visiting agrotourism area were to enjoy natural environment and do various recreational activities. The study also found the tourist characteristics was dominated by visitors who come in groups with close relationship of family and friends. The characteristics of these tourists can be used as a basis of harmonisation for determining the criteria of facilities in agrotourism where the implemented design can give attention to the sustainability (lifecycle) of tourist attraction from natural and economic aspect.

The objective of research is to develop a technology acceptance model in order to judge performance of travel booking apps using grounded theory approach. The variables of the model are then tested using quantitative data. Initially qualitative data was collected through structured interviews and it was subjected to three levels of coding, i.e. open coding, axial coding and selective coding which is called the grounded theory approach. The concepts generated from coding were then integrated into a model. The research is useful for travel aggregators in order to enhance consumer experience in using travel apps. The important contribution to the body of knowledge is development of the model using grounded theory approach which has not been done in any previous research.

This study explored stakeholders’ perceptions of Welsh adolescent participation in rugby union. A Straussian grounded-theory approach was adopted and data collection was conducted via semistructured interviews with 15 individuals involved in Welsh adolescent rugby union. Data were analyzed through open and axial coding procedures and theoretical integration. Stakeholders perceived that continued rugby participation resulted from a positive evaluation of one’s participation in the sport and one’s ability to cope with the demands experienced throughout transitions during adolescence. Overall, the findings provide a substantive grounded theory of stakeholders’ perceptions of continued adolescent participation in Welsh rugby union, and applied implications, in an aim to promote continued sport participation.

Sagan area is one of the historical regions in Yogyakarta. This area has a characteristic of the Dutch colonial heritage that visitors can still feel when they are there. These characteristics then become the region's identity that can give a particular feeling or impression to visitors, or can be called a sense of place. A sense of place is an essential aspect of architecture so that a design is maintained. A sense of place is defined as the bond between place and humans, which can be obtained from a combination of physical settings, activities, and meaning. This study aims to identify aspects of the sense of place, as seen from visitor preferences. The thing observed is related to the activity, physical settings, and what is felt by visitors. By knowing the preferences of visitors, it is hoped that it can be used to create a sense of place that suits the demands of today's needs. This research was conducted qualitatively and exploratively using a grounded theory approach. Data is collected through open-ended questionnaires about what respondents experienced. The data is then processed qualitatively by the method of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The results showed that aspects of the Sagan region's physical setting, which are still preserved in the form of simple indische architectural features and tropical architecture, are the dominant factors that can create a sense of place. But based on an analysis of visitor preferences, changes in building functions are also needed to strengthen the sense of place of the Sagan region. Building functions that fit the character of today's visitors help visitors to feel the physical setting typical of the Sagan region. Thus it can be concluded that the sense of place can not only be formed by preserving its physical settings but also needs to be conducted a review of human preferences as actors who play a role in it.


This chapter is going to review and analyze the literature of the applications of grounded theory (GT) in corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is organized in three sections: definitions of CSR, the position of qualitative research methods and GT in the practices of CSR, and applications of GT in CSR. It particularly focuses on two paradigm models of CSR behavior and a paradigm model of sustainable behavior of farmers. Interviews, observations, and written materials such as CSR reports are the tools used to collect data in GT. Individuals, groups, or institutions can include the participants of studies in this regard and are selected regarding their relationship with the CSR-related phenomenon. The memos written by the CSR researchers are about the conceptual and theoretical ideas formed in the process of analysis. The phases of GT in CSR studies, including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, are explained in this chapter.

Abstract Background Medication adherence is an important concept particularly among the elderly that can, directly and indirectly, affect the health system’s costs and the elderly’s health, quality of life, and functional abilities. This study aimed to determine the model of medication adherence among the Iranian elderly using the grounded theory approach. Methods The concept of medication adherence and the determination of its process among the elderly is a multidisciplinary social issue that can be affected by many contextual factors. Grounded theory with the approach of Strauss and Corbin (2004) was applied to determine the customized model. Data triangulation occurred through semi-structured interviews, observation, field notes, and memoing. Open coding, selective coding, and axial coding were applied to analyze the data. Results Delinquency in the medication use among the elderly was caused by factors such as doubtfulness, fear of complications, not following the patients by the physicians, and negative others and medical staff’s impacts. During the process of medication adherence, the patient’s lack of knowledge, lack of sufficient education, inappropriate and restricted lifestyle, difficult living conditions, and social pressures imposed on individuals could exacerbate and worsen the delinquency in medication adherence. It should not be neglected that some other factors such as lack of an effective supervision system, lack of supportive organizations, stakeholders’ market-based behaviors, consumption inconvenience, consumption stress, hopelessness, and misunderstanding could also aggravate the delinquency. Conclusions Although the proposed theory and model were customized and context-based for the Iranian elderly, in general, making positive changes in the process of adherence to the medication use among the elderly requires scientific and basic management and planning of its factors. It should be noted that making these changes requires some interventions in and cooperation of all levels of the country's health system, from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education to the individual level of the elderly.
