Qualitative and quantitative approaches to the measurement of complex social phenomena : a case of occupational professionalisation

Pavlin, Samo (author), Kogovšek, Tina (author)

The article begins with a description of the triangulation principle in the social sciences. The main goal is to demonstrate the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods in the case of occupational professionalisation. The argumentation is built around the operationalisation of indicators of professionalisation of 63 occupations based on two different theoretical approaches, as well as the process of data collection presented in each case. The level of agreement of the two approaches is presented. In the final section, the findings are discussed, and outlines for potential new research in this field are presented.
