3591定性研究的重要性日益凸显。然而，鉴于定性研究有其复杂的哲学基础，加之定量研究范式处于强势和主导地位，学者们对“如何评价并提升定性研究可信度”感到疑惑。为了有效地释疑解惑，本文首先回溯定性研究的历史沿革，审视实证主义、诠释主义、社会建构主义三类哲学基础，以便揭示定性研究的本质特征；其次，结合顶级期刊论文阐释、对比不同哲学基础的定性研究之可信度评价标准与提升举措，以明确定性研究可信度的内核以及哲学基础对评价标准的影响；最后，归纳研究结论，展望定性研究发展趋势，预测可信度评价标准的演化。本文试图站在历史发展和哲学基础的角度，全面审视和阐释定性研究可信度问题，系统地解答学者对定性研究可信度的疑惑，以期促进构建具有中国特色的管理学理论。
