‘Using grounded theory’ offers step-by-step guidance on generating theory using qualitative data. It will be valuable for post-graduate researchers, supervisors, professors, lecturers, and professionals in psychology, healthcare, business, management and leadership, education, sociology.
Popular with interpretivist, critical realist and post-positivist researchers, the grounded theory research methodology is used in psychology, healthcare, business, management and leadership, education, sociology and more.  Researchers using this method tend to want to understand what is going on for a group of people in an area of interest and often seek to provide practical recommendations for targeted and impactful change.


Using grounded theory offers step-by-step guidance on generating grounded theory for managed change  using qualitative data, and is enriched by the many examples of Helen’s mentees and peers who share their strategies for addressing common challenges of doing grounded theory.  It will be valuable for post-graduate researchers, supervisors, professors, lecturers, and professionals in qualitative research.

Dr Helen Scott is a respected grounded theorist and mentor with extensive experience supporting researchers worldwide across a range of disciplines, including psychology, nursing, healthcare, business, leadership, education, and sociology. She is a founding member of the International Association of Grounded Theorists and co-organized the successful 2024 conference "Grounded Theory Futures". She also serves as a consultant researcher for global, national, and local organizations. Helen Scott was trained in grounded theory by Dr. Barney Glaser. Her work draws on this training and on her rich experiences of holding troubleshooting seminars, supervising and mentoring novice grounded theorists, and the real-world examples that mentees and peers generously share. A passionate advocate for grounded theory, Helen Scott emphasizes practical engagement with the methodology. With this book and through her website, Grounded Theory Online, Helen offers guidance on collecting and analyzing qualitative data systematically and supports researchers to develop meaningful theories and propose impactful change.  Through regular networking meetings at “Grounded Theory Coffee Connect” and through her seminars and workshops, Helen fosters a thriving community of grounded theorists.  Her contributions have made grounded theory more accessible and actionable for doctoral and master’s students, postgraduate researchers, supervisors, teachers of research, and professionals alike.
