The legitimation and institutionalization of metatheorizing in sociology

Article Abstract:

Criticism that the book 'Metatheorizing in Sociology' as being insensitive to the plight of homosexuals is defined merely as an attack on political incorrectness. This becomes a trivial point in view of the book's real value of the legitimation and institutionalization of metatheorizing. These processes may in turn result in significant research which will help clarify ambiguities and define ill-specified aspects of metatheoretical work in sociology.

Results indicate that having an external human resources attorney and competing with a number of other organizations with training are the driving factors behind the spread of job-training programs.
