Wybrane problemy badań jakościowych karier zawodowych kobiet w III RP

Abstract

The article shows specificity of qualitative research using interview techniques in an analysis of professional careers of women in Poland. It focuses in particular on the individual indepth interview and narrative interview, their similarities as well as their drawbacks and ways of applying them in analyses of women’s functioning in their professional lives. The article presents specific studies in which these techniques have been applied and shows when and to what extent they contributed to obtaining interesting results. Other issues raised in the article involve: deliberate resignation from anonymity while using these techniques and including gender sensitivity in a result analysis. As for the traps related to analysis of data obtained using these two types of interviews, specific focus was put on the time of conducting such interviews, which results in subjectivity of the analyzed research material.
