You will start by drafting the Research Method Rationale section by writing a first draft of a research method choice for your dissertation study.
In the Research Methods Rationale section, share your method rationale and describe the research traditions and paradigmatic perspectives that justify the choice of the research method and design/approach as appropriate to address the study problem. In addition, a justification for how and why the method choice and research design/approach align with the degree program discipline and area of concentration as supported by my current management studies discipline. The rationale should be at least 3 paragraphs in length and well-cited by the course research guides or specific scholarly research guides that you have sourced that are focused on the specific research method and research design choice that you are considering for your dissertation research study. Over all three pages in length – maybe discuss qualitative vs quantitative as well
Start this section with: “The research method selected for this study Is…” Mixed Methods
Mixed-methods research – entails an appropriate combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection as an integral part of the design requirement
Research Method Rationale Template – will use mixed methods
[The Research Methods Rationale section will present a continuation of the brief method rationale from the Purpose section above to fully describe the research traditions and paradigmatic perspectives that justify the choice of the research method and design/approach as appropriate to address the study problem. In addition, a justification for how and why the method choice and research design/approach align with the degree program discipline and area of concentration as supported by the current scholarship of the respective discipline.]
The research method selected for this study is mixed research methods my research trio is below for reference. …
1) Problem Statement: Why do organizations invest in employee surveys but fail to act on the results?
2) Research Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine why organizations that conduct employee satisfaction surveys fail to successfully enact positive changes as a result of the employee survey. (hopefully, this will help me identify best practices for other organizations)
3) Research Questions: 1) How much money was invested on the employee surveys versus money spent on acting on the results. 2) How does inaction by leadership to enact changes based on the results impact employee morale and trust in leaders. 3) How can organizations better invest and budget to enact positive changes based on employee surveys.
