Running Head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL 1
Research Proposal 4
Research Proposal
Latissa Butler
American Public University: IRLS503 International
Organizations
Dr. Borislava Manojlovic
March 13, 2020
1. IO Selection and Research Question
There are different IOs all over the world. Each IO has different
roles which they are supposed to play all over the world, but
each organization has its great achievements and also failures.
One of the international organizations which I opted to choose
is the International Labor Organization. This is one of the
United Nation's Agencies that are responsible to promote social
justice and appropriate work through setting international labor
standards. It is also responsible for the creation of coordinated
policies and the publication of different works on social and
labor issues. This organization has different challenges which it
has been facing for the prior years but one of the main problems
is that it has been accused of being ungrateful and out of touch,
undesirable regulations and finally failing to ensure that its
principles and guidelines are taken literally by official member
states. Then in terms of research question regarding this
problem is that, “why do you think that international labor
organization is not able to ensure that its principles and
guidelines are taken literally by the official member states?”
(Salkind, 2012).
2. Dependent Variable Identification
There are different variables one of the variables is the
dependent variable which is usually the variable that is being
examined and it depends on the independent variable. Then
according to my research question, the dependent variable is the
“seriousness of international labor organization principles and
guidelines” this is because the seriousness principle and
guidelines are the ones that are being examined, thus depending
on something else therefore becoming the dependent variable.
Since there are different levels and criteria of measuring
dependent variables, then the best criteria to measure my
dependent variable is via categorical criteria which is the
nominal variable and a dichotomous because it needs more than
one response.
3. Independent variable
On the other side, there is the independent variable that is self-
governed and they can be changed for the experimenter to test
the dependent variable. According to the research question, the
first independent variable is the members of the states. This is
because they are the ones to determine whether to take the
principles and guidelines seriously or not. The next independent
variable is the international labor organization leadership. This
is because it does not depend on anything else and also it can be
changed by the experimenter and finally it is the one to
determine how seriously the principles and guidelines will be
taken by the members of states (Walliman, 2010).
4. Hypothesis
Next, there is the hypothesis about both the variables regarding
the research question. This is a way of speculating about the
future of the situation in the international labor organization. I
hypothesize that the strictness of the leadership of the
international labor organization will influence the seriousness
of the members of the states towards the organizational
principles and guidelines. This is because if the leadership fails
to be strictly enough about its principles and guidelines then in
future they shall not be taken seriously by the official members
of states. If the other side of the leadership decides to be
stricter, then there is a high possibility of the organizational
principles and guidelines to be taken more serious. The next
issue is that the attitude of the members of the state also
determines how they take the issues. This is because the
members of the public have a positive attitude towards the labor
organization and its policies. They shall be able to take adhere
to the seriously unlike when they have a negative attitude
toward the organization. Finally, there is the nature of policies;
this can determine how the principles and guidelines will be
received. For example, if there are consequences if a member
fails to take them seriously then the members can take the
principle and guidelines seriously because they can be afraid of
the consequences (Anne Collins, 2014).
5. Research Method and Proposed Data Sources
There are different research methods which are used to test
different hypothesis. According to the hypothesis above, I opt
to use the inferential statistical method to test these hypotheses
to answer the research question. This method of the testing
hypothesis is used to determine if the findings from the sample
can generalize and if it can be applied. It is also used to give a
trustful conclusion of the study. Then finally there are different
ways of investigating the hypothesis such as quantitative and
qualitative data methods. To the above hypothesis, I opt to use a
qualitative research method to investigate it. This is because
this kind of method is highly associated with emotions, words
and feeling thus making it best for me since the research
question need the qualities of this method for it to be answered,
tested and investigated. This method also is focused on enabling
a greater level of a high grasping of the research question. Then
in terms of analysis of the data I prefer to use an interview to
collect the data. This is because I believe through this I can get
first-hand information and then I use the case study to analyze
the data. This is because this method can generalize the data, it
also provides mush detailed information compared to other
methods and finally it provides an insight for further research
(McAneney, 2018).

  • 2. Report.” Your guide must be at least 1000 words (following current APA guidelines) in a format and in language appropriate for a novice investor. Submit your guide by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 2. Running Head: RESEARCH PROPOSAL 1 Research Proposal 4 Research Proposal Latissa Butler American Public University: IRLS503 International Organizations Dr. Borislava Manojlovic March 13, 2020 1. IO Selection and Research Question There are different IOs all over the world. Each IO has different roles which they are supposed to play all over the world, but each organization has its great achievements and also failures. One of the international organizations which I opted to choose is the International Labor Organization. This is one of the United Nation's Agencies that are responsible to promote social justice and appropriate work through setting international labor standards. It is also responsible for the creation of coordinated policies and the publication of different works on social and labor issues. This organization has different challenges which it has been facing for the prior years but one of the main problems is that it has been accused of being ungrateful and out of touch, undesirable regulations and finally failing to ensure that its principles and guidelines are taken literally by official member states. Then in terms of research question regarding this
  • 3. problem is that, “why do you think that international labor organization is not able to ensure that its principles and guidelines are taken literally by the official member states?” (Salkind, 2012). 2. Dependent Variable Identification There are different variables one of the variables is the dependent variable which is usually the variable that is being examined and it depends on the independent variable. Then according to my research question, the dependent variable is the “seriousness of international labor organization principles and guidelines” this is because the seriousness principle and guidelines are the ones that are being examined, thus depending on something else therefore becoming the dependent variable. Since there are different levels and criteria of measuring dependent variables, then the best criteria to measure my dependent variable is via categorical criteria which is the nominal variable and a dichotomous because it needs more than one response. 3. Independent variable On the other side, there is the independent variable that is self- governed and they can be changed for the experimenter to test the dependent variable. According to the research question, the first independent variable is the members of the states. This is because they are the ones to determine whether to take the principles and guidelines seriously or not. The next independent variable is the international labor organization leadership. This is because it does not depend on anything else and also it can be changed by the experimenter and finally it is the one to determine how seriously the principles and guidelines will be taken by the members of states (Walliman, 2010). 4. Hypothesis Next, there is the hypothesis about both the variables regarding the research question. This is a way of speculating about the future of the situation in the international labor organization. I hypothesize that the strictness of the leadership of the international labor organization will influence the seriousness
  • 4. of the members of the states towards the organizational principles and guidelines. This is because if the leadership fails to be strictly enough about its principles and guidelines then in future they shall not be taken seriously by the official members of states. If the other side of the leadership decides to be stricter, then there is a high possibility of the organizational principles and guidelines to be taken more serious. The next issue is that the attitude of the members of the state also determines how they take the issues. This is because the members of the public have a positive attitude towards the labor organization and its policies. They shall be able to take adhere to the seriously unlike when they have a negative attitude toward the organization. Finally, there is the nature of policies; this can determine how the principles and guidelines will be received. For example, if there are consequences if a member fails to take them seriously then the members can take the principle and guidelines seriously because they can be afraid of the consequences (Anne Collins, 2014). 5. Research Method and Proposed Data Sources There are different research methods which are used to test different hypothesis. According to the hypothesis above, I opt to use the inferential statistical method to test these hypotheses to answer the research question. This method of the testing hypothesis is used to determine if the findings from the sample can generalize and if it can be applied. It is also used to give a trustful conclusion of the study. Then finally there are different ways of investigating the hypothesis such as quantitative and qualitative data methods. To the above hypothesis, I opt to use a qualitative research method to investigate it. This is because this kind of method is highly associated with emotions, words and feeling thus making it best for me since the research question need the qualities of this method for it to be answered, tested and investigated. This method also is focused on enabling a greater level of a high grasping of the research question. Then in terms of analysis of the data I prefer to use an interview to collect the data. This is because I believe through this I can get
  • 5. first-hand information and then I use the case study to analyze the data. This is because this method can generalize the data, it also provides mush detailed information compared to other methods and finally it provides an insight for further research (McAneney, 2018).
