¶ … data collection (people, researcher, institutional, event problems)?
Unfortunately, there are a number of common problems that routinely occur when scientists or professionals are attempting to collect data for a specific study. These problems usually revolve around four integral elements for a study -- those that pertain to people or subjects involved within the study, the researchers themselves, institutional problems, as well as problems with specific events that take place during the research. Although it is best to go about the process of conducting a study by adhering to any number of scientific methods, one of the most common problems occurs when researchers do not adhere to a specific methodology that is backed by a concrete research theory. This omission can happen for a variety of reasons and, although not all of them are necessarily planned, it is still a common problem during the data collection phase of several studies.
It is also essential that researchers preserve the integrity of the data that they are collecting. Problems arise when researchers fail to do so. Quite often, depending on what type of study is being performed, researchers...
Additionally, institutional problems can occur when researchers are remiss in selecting the proper tools that are used during the data collection process (No author, 2005). This tendency can happen due to event problems or because of a general lack of diligence on the part of a research team for ascertaining the mettle of equipment that is used during the data collection process. In that respect, it greatly behooves researchers to implement methods of quality control (Whitney et al., 1998, p. 73) and quality assurance to successfully preserve the integrity of their data and to avoid some of the common problems associated with data collection.
There are a number of different factors that researchers must consider when determining the sampling criteria for a particular study. These factors pertain to both inclusion and exclusion criteria, which are largely determined by the needs of a study. Exclusion criteria applies to subjects who meet inclusion yet have other facets…

data collection for phenomenological research done? State the method then explain/Illustrate. Phenomenological research is grounded in the personal and subjective perspective. It falls into the larger category of qualitative research which is not theory-driven, but rather discovers the relationships among phenomena. (Patton, 2002). Phenomenological research can be considered inductive in nature as it moves from the specific to the general, unlike positivist experimental research which begins with general theories and
Kahneman & Schwarz (2009) confirm that the link between advanced income and happiness is fantasy. The two researchers further ascertained that inheriting a lot of money or earning as anticipated does not make one happy. This is because once one is in possession of huge sum of money; one does not necessarily spend it to make him/her happy. The third hypothesis point out that education and income increases the level
C. Evaluation question(s) and aims. The primary question that will be addressed is to identify whether HCBS program is able to provide service to the target population. The evaluation questions will also be directed to the cost effectiveness of the program. The following evaluation questions are identified: 1. Is the program meet the budget requirements of the 1915 (b)? 2. Has the program generates cost saving? 3. Has the program has been able to
complexities of doing business in our virtual age, looking in particular at e-commerce but also asking how the presence of e-commerce on the market has affected traditional businesses as well. Once upon a time - that golden age - things were simple. You decided you wanted to grow up to be a bookstore owner. Or a hardware store manager. Or a florist. So you leased a store, bought some
Indeed, effective problem solving in these circumstances often requires high levels of creative collaboration (Richards, 2007a, p. 34). In recognition of this reality, employers consistently name the ability to work together creatively as a primary and crucial skill -- even though many organizations have created cultures that undercut individual and collective creativity. In order to solve this problem there is a need of a comprehensive review of the facility management
While digitalization has been shown to positively influence customer satisfaction in organizations in diverse sectors and industries, there has been little scholarly attention to the port industry. Focusing on APM Terminals, one of the largest container terminal and port management companies in the world, the proposed study seeks to fill this gap in literature. The study will take the mixed methods approach. In business, the significance of customer satisfaction cannot be
