STA630 Assignment No.1 solution-2

Effective managers always make sound and effective decisions on the basis of scientific research. Scientific research focuses on solving problems in a step by step, logical and organized manner (i.e. Identifying problem, Gathering data, analyzing it & drawing a conclusion). Scientific research conducted in a proper manner always produces repeatable and comparable research findings. Hallmarks of scientific research are as follows:

• Purposiveness
• Rigor
• Testability
• Replicability
• Precision and confidence
• Objectivity
• Generalizibility
• Parsimony

As for the given case, the research has a clear purpose (i.e. to pinpoint the problem / internal issues that are affecting the customer base).

The researchers and consultants carried out the research in a Rigorous manner (i.e. the researchers developed a theoretical base & collected relevant detailed information from a carefully picked sample of 25 employees and 100 customers).

The research mentioned in the case is Replicable and generalizable to other similar situation in same / different organizations.

The management of the company is confident to have 90% precision (which is very close to accuracy) in the research.

The research is being conducted by and independent consultants firm. Furthermore, the researches (employees and customers) are being conducted parallel to each other by independent researchers, which eliminates / reduces the chances of biasness to the minimum level.

The research is conducted in a parsimonious manner.

This is not the solution you have to write points according to given case.

The Hallmarks of Scientific Research

PURPOSIVENESS:

: SHOULD HAVE DEFINITE AIM

It has to start with a definite aim or purpose.

The focus is on increasing employee commitment.

Increase employee commitment will translate into less turnover, less absenteeism and increased performance levels.

Thus it has a purposive focus.

REFLECT RIGOR

REFLECT RIGOR: SHOW CAREFULNESS, SCRUPULOUSNESS & DEGREE OF

EXACTITUDE IN RESEARCH INVESTIGATIONS

A good theoretical base and sound methodological design would add rigor to the purposive study.

Rigor adds carefulness, scrupulousness and the degree of exactitude in research.

Example:

A manager asks 10-12 employees how to increase the level of commitment. If solely on the basis of their responses the manager reaches several conclusions on how employee commitment can be increases, the whole approach to the investigation would be unscientific. It would lack rigor for the following reasons

TESTABILITY

TESTABILITY: CAN BE TESTED BY APPLICATION OF CERTAIN STATISTICAL

TESTS TO COLLECTED DATA

After random selection manager and researcher develops certain hypothesis on how manager employee commitment can be enhanced, then these can be tested by applying certain statistical tests to the data collected for the purpose.

REPLICABILITY

REPLICABILITY: SHOULD PROVIDE SAME RESULTS IF TESTS ARE

REPEATED IN OTHER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES

It means that it can be used again if similar circumstances prevail.

Example:

The study concludes that participation in decision making is one of the most important factors that influences the commitment, we will place more faith and credence in these finding and apply in similar situations. To the extent that this does happen, we will gain confidence in the scientific nature of our research

PRECISION AND

PRECISION AND CONFIDENCE: HAVE ACCEPTABLE DEGREE OF

ACCURACY AND PROBABILITY OF APPLICATION TO THE WHOLE

Precision refers to the closeness of the findings to "reality" based on a sample.

It reflects the degree of accuracy and exactitude of the results of the sample.

Example: If a supervisor estimated the number of production days lost during the year due to absenteeism at between 30 and 40, as against the actual of 35, the precision of my estimation more favorably than if he has indicated that the loss of production days was somewhere between 20 and 50.

OBJECTIVITY

OBJECTIVITY: BASED ON FACTS AND NOT ON SUBJECTIVE OR EMOTIONAL

VALUES

The conclusions drawn through the interpretation of the results of data analysis should be objective; that is, they should be based on the facts of the findings derived from actual data, and not on our subjective or emotional values.

Example: If we had a hypothesis that stated that greater participation in decision making will increase organizational commitment and this was not supported by the results, it makes no sense if the researcher continues to argue that increased opportunities for employee participation would still help

GENERALIZABILITY

GENERALIZABILITY: HAVE SCOPE OF APPLICATION TO OTHER SETTINGS

It refers to the scope of applicability of the research findings in one organization setting to other settings.

Example: If a researcher's findings that participation in decision making enhances organizational commitment are found to be true in a variety of manufacturing, industrial and service organizations, and not merely in the particular organization studied by the researcher, then the generalizability of the findings to other organizational settings in enhanced. The more generalizable the research, the greater its usefulness and value.

PARSIMONY

PARSIMONY: SIMPLICITY IN EXPLAINING THE PHENOMENA THAT OCCUR

AND IN GENERATING SOLUTIONS FOR THE PROBLEMS

Simplicity in explaining the phenomenon or problems that occur, and in generating solutions for the problems, is always preferred to complex research frameworks that consider an unmanageable number of factors.

........................

The company having a large a large number of customers and was going in success. Now the company is in loss and not generating profit this is very alarming situation for management and directors.
In this way they the researcher will collect data through different employees and make a conclusion of the problem external or internal causing loss for the company.
In this case according to hallmark of scientific method they should act upon following research method to reach the problem.

1) Observation of the situation

2) identifying the problem.

3) Formulating a theory.

4) Generate a hypothesis.

5) Analyzing the data collection or hypothesis.

6) Result or conclusion of the research process.

Mgt111 GDB solution

GDB MARKS 10:


Experience from the recent past reveals that the governments across the globe have devolved many of their functions to the local governments. On contrary, some functions have been transferred to private sector. Please discuss those exclusive roles of the government that make public administration a separate enterprise from private organizations.

n the recent past reveals the government across the globe have developed many of their functions to the local governments, and some of them are transferred to private sectors because the public administration centrally concerned with the organization of government policies and programmes as well as the behavior of officials usually non-elected formally responsible for their conduct. The public administrators are public servants working in public departments and agencies, at all levels of government, but in the private sectors there are rules and regulation are more concerned to their scope of work and also this is a field of to show more encouragements as compare to government sectors. Basically the Public administration is a field of inquiry with a mixture of range in which it is presupposes that the basic goals are to move on management and policies so that government can function with steadiness. While on the other side the private organizations are self-sustaining, particular curiosity groups, set up by people acting wholly outside the scope of any administrator capability as officers, employees, or agents of the Federal Government.
Tasks that can not be done by private sector.
• Resistance to external threats, i.e. protection of country’s boundaries and improving peace and harmony.
• Regulating the imports and exports by formulating policies.
• Framing the laws and legislative structure, i.e. constitution development and implementation. Protection of basic human rights in the country.
• Inoculating people against the cultural and societal assaults. i.e. keeping intact the nation’s identity and uniqueness.
• Managing country wide, gigantic disasters, problems, if any.
• Creating harmony various religious, cultural, and societal schools of thoughts.
This is just the idea, discuss and elaborate these points to get full marks in the gdb.
