Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to explain the strategies and consequences of non-radical protest action in the organization.This research is a qualitative research using grounded theory and a systematic paradigm model of Strauss and Corbin. In this regard, in-depth interviews were conducted using theoretical sampling with snowball technique with sociologists and elites, managers who have been exposed to rebels, and rebels themselves. The number of samples continued until the responses reached saturation stage (with 12 interviews). Data analysis was performed in three stages: open coding, central coding and selective coding, and then based on the grounded theory, the strategies and consequences of non-radical protest actions were explained. Strategies in five dimensions include "symbolic protest, the role of norms, covert protest, breaking the legitimacy of the organization and organizational silence," and the four outcomes include "reduced productivity, anti-production behavior, covert violence, and organizational citizen misconduct."
