| Abstract: | As accounting research is concerned with the accounting in firms, an endeavour realised essentially by human actors, it seems reasonable to assume that the "actors" should be included even in the accounting research context. The authors thus apply the holistic individual image as a yardstick to three research perspectives, to see how the human dimension is explicitly or implicitly addressed. Where the authors find that the actor receives limited attention only, the authors suggest some supplementary ideas inspired by this image. The authors believe that such an approach could make researchers more aware of the nature of the human actors with whom they are dealing in their research setting. |
