Task
Write up: Your proposed research question (for internal systematic review)
Details of the task
- A general systemic review was conducted last week. However, it is suggested by the boss that a tailored made Internal Systematic Review is required especially for the situation of Company A, for more closely to the specific needs and challenges, as “Context is everything”
- Write-up 1)your proposed research question and 2) your rationale, which you’ll support, explain, and justify the research question you have developed.
- Also, MUST address why you did (or did not) revise your question after a discussion with your colleagues. (just imagine who you have spoken to “some colleagues” of asking “some questions” ( just make up some questions that may be most common for this case”, then why you have or have not change it)
- thorough explanation of your process will convince the management board that you have developed the question that is most appropriate for a systematic review (this internal systematic review).
- The desired outcome of your internal systematic review is: acquiring and applying actionable knowledge, based on evidence, aimed at improving staff If staff retention is improved, it should help to ensure the company’s long- term viability.
Direction of the research question:
- how Company A needs to provide moreflexibility in its policies and help employees attain a work/life balance
- and the long-term strategy of the company
- should tie this justification to the situation of Company A
- Some ideas: “Employee Well-being” (happiness, health and relationship) and “HRM Organization Performance Relationship (HRM e.g. employee ability -enhancing HR practices, motivation enhancing practice…), refer to “Paper Two” as reference.
To note, have the research question answer those:
- Does your question present a viable opportunity to address a specific situation, problem, or challenge?
- Does your research question provide an avenue by which to identify a robust array of potentially relevant and useful evidence?
- If not, how can the research question be broadened sufficiently to cast a broader net and capture a wider range of potentially useful evidence?
- Is the research question as free of bias as possible?
- Does it appear to answer itself before the synthesis has even begun?
- Does your research question reflect the plausible input of colleagues (i.e. the common question may be addressed by others for this case) ?
