Frequency Tabulation of ETIC and Inductive (EMIC) Codes
that Emerged from Interviews
As noted above, Table 4.1 provided attributes of the Federal government executives that
were interviewed for this study. An analysis of those interviews revealed use of the
theory-based ETIC codes itemized in Table 4.2 as well as, EMIC codes in light of the
inductively analytical orientation used. EMIC codes are introduced in Table 4.3, below.
The inductively-based EMIC codes derived directly from participant responses to
interview questions described in Appendix A. Derivative EMIC codes focused on
individual demographics (FAMILYINF, RELIGION, GENDER, MATURITY (including
age)), character attributes (PERSONALITY), career attributes (CULTURE,
OCCUPATION, SUPERVISE), resonant experiences (DEFINMOM, STORYTELLING,
SHADOWING), and the meaning participants ascribed to establishing relationships
(CONNECT). Table 4.3 also provides a count of the number of times that the analysis
revealed a direct connection to a specific ETIC or EMIC code.
