You have learned basic research methods in this class. Please apply the concepts you have
learned for this final assignment. Use APA format to write an 10-12 page paper (Word Doc
or Docx format please) (that being said, I don’t count pages, just if the content meets the
assignment/rubric requirements as scholarly writing should be succinct anyway), including
title page and reference page. Bold key terms from the book in your paper.First, choose a
topic that you are interested in researching now or in the future. Be sure that research
methods are needed to solve the problem/topic you choose. Your topic should be of
interest to not only you but also other professionals. If Job Satisfaction is a genuine topic of
interest for you, you should choose this topic; however, you must also provide a paper that
reflects additional critical thinking and research beyond what was covered during the
quarter. Once you choose a topic, please write a paper that addresses the following: Topic
of the research and why you chose the topic. What is the problem that requires additional
data to better understand? How would the research apply at your place of work or in some
other aspect of your life?What are your research questions? A minimum of three (3)
questions is required. The questions should address what do you want to know as well as
solve the stated problem. (Will the answers to the questions solve the stated problem? At
this stage, you should also ask yourself how knowing the answers to the questions will
promote growth within your community or organization?) What does the literature tell you
about this topic? Please go to the CWU online library and perform a scan of the professional
literature regarding your research topic. For original topics, 3 scholarly articles are
required. If you chose Job Satisfaction as your topic, then 6 scholarly articles are
required. Summarize the current state of research (what you found). Cite the articles using
APA format. Note: If needed, adjust your research questions to reflect your literature
review. If you cannot find any literature on your topic, you will need to re-examine the
validity of your proposed research.Based on your preliminary literature search, what
samples or data would you need to collect to reliably answer your research
questions? Describe your sampling technique/data acquisition methodology along with
areas for possible bias. Remember to consider your sampling method and size and be sure
to provide detail regarding your technique. For example, if you intend to survey a
population, what specific survey questions will you ask? How many people must you
survey in order to obtain a representative (i.e. reliable and valid) data set?Discuss at least
three (3) valid methods you would use to properly interpret the data you would receive
from part 4. Describe how you will convince the research and/or business community that

2. your study is reliable, valid and useful/impactful. Use terms from the book; please use
boldface the key terms.How would you communicate your research results to 1) an
academic (scholarly) audience and 2) a general audience? Give at least 2 specific examples
for each type of audience.Remember what you learned in ADMG525 about appropriate
writing and presenting for “scholars” vs. a more general audience.
