Sammendrag
This paper discusses how methodological challenges and problems
were handled in a study of how state employees’ unions responded to, had an impact on
and were affected by new public management reforms in Sweden, Norway, Australia and
New Zealand. In the study, particular emphasis was put on institutional characteristics of
the unions. The paper clarifies the operational measures of this concept (construct validity)
and their causal relationship to the actions and outcomes of the reform processes (internal
validity). Two other aspects of research design (external validity and reliability) are also
discussed. Finally, some more general lessons learned from the study are indicated.
