Theoretical Saturation in Research Using Grounded Theory Methodology Procedures – from the Experience of a Young Researcher

Summary/Abstract: In the area of qualitatively oriented research, the concept of saturation is closely related to the methodology of grounded theory. The methodological procedures include the theoretical saturation of the categories. It is the main criterion which signals the end of collecting the comparative groups (Konecki, 2000). The grounded theory methodology provides clear instructions, but during conduct research, many dilemmas arise in the way of collecting empirical data and their analysis. One of them is the end of the collection of empirical material, which is determined by theoretical saturation. This article is an attempt to present the dilemmas of a young researcher related to theoretical saturation. The reflections will be presented on the basis of an analysis of the scientific literature and a fragment of own research, including doubts related to theoretical saturation in the procedures of the grounded theory methodology.
