Abstract

The chapter at hand examines how definitions and (theoretical) conceptualisations can impact methodological choices and thus contribute to the development of empirical research about values. It does so by exploring different ways to define values and integrate them into a research design, with the help of the example of two selected projects in the field of organisational and leadership studies. Two steps in the research process are identified as natural contact sites for implementing value definitions in empirical studies: namely, selecting empirical data (or sampling) and concluding a study. The two selected research projects are analysed by asking how they define values, how these value definitions affect the data collection, and how they are part of the result presentation. The chapter concludes by encouraging values researchers to reflect more on the connection between empirical research and value definitions.
