Abstract
The present study attempted to answer the question "What are the consequences of women transporting luggage from Qeshm to Tehran?" using a qualitative grounded theory method. Data were collected to theoretical saturation through 50 semi-structured interviews conducted among 30 female transporters and 20 knowledgeable expert samples, which were determined using a non-random and purposeful snowball method. The data were analyzed based on Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory, and 316 main concepts were determined, and based on that, 2202 conceptual implications were identified. Then, all these concepts were listed in the form of 71 major categories that have a higher level of abstraction. Among these, 1162 conceptual implications, 143 concepts and 31 categories related to the economic axis, 640 conceptual implications, 88 concepts and 21 categories related to the social axis, 917 conceptual implications, 96 concepts and 26 categories were also sub-sets. The ethical axis was established. Accordingly, the core categories of the economic, social, and ethical axes were determined as follows: "welfare-creating/challenging", "empowering/pressure-making", and "moral discontinuity/moral health". In the final coding and the final contextual model, "functional and non-functional consequences of an unintended consequence" was selected as the main core category. Accordingly, women carriers and informed experts, by evaluating the phenomenon of baggage transfer, perceive it as an unintended consequence that in turn brings other functional and non-functional consequences.
