4-The similarities between the phenomenological and grounded theory is they both are based on philosophical orientation, and this orientation will affect the expected outcome of the research. The phenomenological and grounded theory both involve social aspect and are completely based on subject, or both are subjective (Grove, Gary, & Burns, 2015).
The difference is the aim of phenomenological research is to provide description of the real experience. It is usually in written or narrated form described by the researcher. In grounded theory mostly, outcomes are provided by researcher in form of diagram or in comparison with another concept. Phenomenological research deals with real people, real events, subject and their experiences and develops a concept and philosophical and narration based on it whereas grounded theory is more straight forward (Grove, Gary, & Burns, 2015).

5-Grounded theory is a research method that will enable you to develop a theory which offers and explanation about the main concern of the population of your substantive area and how that concern is resolved or processed (Scott,2009). Phenomenology is based on the premise that reality consists of objects and events (“phenomena”) as they are perceived or understood in the human consciousness, and not of anything independent of human consciousness (Branch, n.d).
Both grounded and phenomenology investigates real life situations, they are usually done through interviews and observations, they also evaluate data from the respondents view and try to make sure that the findings are not influenced by preconceived ideas. Exploration of the individuals experience according to the world they live in is common for both groups.
However, differences exist between these groups. While phenomenology is a product of philosophy, grounded theory is a product of sociology. Phenomenology seeks to explore subjective understandings of ones own experiences and although grounded theory looks at experiences it includes as many other data sources as possible to develop a more objective understanding of the subject of the study.
