Alignment Within Quantitative Studies
For independent scholars, determining alignment among the key
22. components of the
quantitative prospectus is an important task within the research
process. Ensuring
proper alignment among the problem statement, purpose
statement, and research
questions/hypotheses can increase the propensity for your
research to be a significant
contribution to the scholarly conversation on your research
topic. Also, assessing the
alignment among these critical components in extant
quantitative literature will provide
the knowledge required to ensure proper alignment in your own
professional research
career.
To prepare for this Discussion, choose one of the three
quantitative studies that you
analyzed for your Assignment in Week 2, and consider how the
key components of this
study (problem statement, purpose statement, theoretical
framework, research
question(s), and hypotheses) did or did not align within the
overall study.
By Day 3

RE: Discussion - Week 5

Hello Class,
I hope this finds you well! This is a friendly reminder that we
have many resources to
help you understand alignment of key components. The
components below are from
the DBA handbook. Be sure to review the assigned reading
materials for this week,
available in the Resources area.
Best,
Dr Velkova
Hypothetical Example (Correlation Design)
Problem Statement
Organizations place great emphasis on retention because of the
strategic
value of intellectual capital and the costs of replacing valued
employees (cite).
Research in this domain is potentially valuable because turnover
30. costs U.S.
businesses billions of dollars per year (cite), and practices that
promote retention
can save even small companies millions of dollars annually
(cite). The general
business problem is that turnover intention has been shown to
be among the
best predictors of turnover (cite). The specific business problem
is that some
microelectronic business owners do not understand the
relationship between
job satisfaction, motivation, and employee turnover intentions.
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this quantitative correlation study is to examine
the
relationship between employee job satisfaction, employee
motivation, and
employee turnover intentions. The independent variables are
employee job
satisfaction and employee motivation. The dependent variable is
employee
turnover intention. The targeted population will consist of mid-
level employees of
microelectronic companies located in the southeast United
States. The implications
for positive social change include the potential to better
understand the correlates of
employee turnover, thus increasing propensity for sustainability
of the
microelectronic industry.

microelectronic industry.
Research Question
What is the relationship between employee job satisfaction,
employee
motivation, and employee turnover intentions?
Hypotheses
Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no statistically significant
relationship between
employee job satisfaction, employee motivation, and employee
turnover
intentions.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is a statistically significant
relationship between
employee job satisfaction, employee motivation, and employee
turnover
intentions.
32. Quantitative Example
Burns (1978) developed the transformational leadership theory.
Burns used the
theory to offer an explanation for leadership based upon the
premise that leaders are
able to inspire followers to change expectations, perceptions,
and motivations to work
toward common goals. Burns identified the following key
constructs underlying the
theory (a) idealized attributes, (b) idealized behaviors, (c)
intellectual stimulation, (d)
inspirational motivation, and (e) individualized consideration.
As applied to this study,
the transformational leadership theory holds that I would expect
the independent
variables (transformational leadership constructs), measured by
the Multifaceted
Leadership Questionnaire, to predict employee turnover
intention because (provide a
rationale based upon the logic of the theory and extant
literature). The following figure
is a graphical depiction of the transformational leadership
theory as it applies to
examining turnover intentions.

Aina and Verma (2019) stated problems with 21st century
organizations are that
they have a hard time creating employee satisfaction. The
different generations within the
organization have a different idea of what leadership styles
should be. The purpose of the
study was to investigate the relationship between the leadership
style of the senior
managers and job satisfaction and commitment of the middle
managers working within an
organization. Aina and Verma (2019) used a quantitative
correlational research study where
they identified three research questions with their corresponding
null and alternate
hypotheses. Through the research, Aina and Verma (2019) were
able to accept the alternate
hypotheses.
The components Aina and Verma (2019) used for their
34. quantitative research were
clearly defined within the study such as the problem statement,
purpose statement, research
question, and hypotheses. One area I felt they did a good job in
was identifying the
independent and dependent variables. Job satisfaction and
commitment to the organization
are identified as the dependent variables because they are
dependent on the leadership
styles of the senior managers. The dependent factors are the
response variables while the
independent variables are what are thought to influence the
dependent variables (Walden
University Doctoral Capstone Resources, 2016a). Having the
keywords
referenced within the study-helped keep the research
components in alignment
(Walden University Doctoral Capstone Resources, 2016a).
One recommendation that could improve alignment within this
study would be
expanding on the theoretical framework. Aina and Verma (2019)
touch upon the
management and leadership theories that are in the literature,
but do not go in depth. The
theory used in this study was leadership styles, but the authors
did not add the authors or
date of the theoretical base of the framework. The theoretical
framework helps the reader
understand which perspective the researchers are looking
through (Walden University
Doctoral Capstone Resources, 2016b). Another recommendation
is to include
the nature of the study within the article. The nature of the
study includes two
purposes, describing and justifying the methodology and
35. describing and
justifying the design (Walden University Doctoral Capstone
Resources,
2016a). Adding the nature of the design may provide more
incite to the reader
as to why that approach was taken versus other approaches
within the
research.
