Presentation on Ten Strategic Points Proposal

v.4.16.21

Kristine Quade (KQ) – D'Ainsley: please go back to the GCU template –this must be from the master with the coaching notes in the notes section

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This should be the working title of your dissertation

Literature Review: Background to the Problem

Certifications offer heightened career advancement opportunities

Company employees are more confident and knowledgeable, reach job proficiency faster, are more reliable and perform at a higher level

The study focuses on certification and academic degree programs

The study provides insight on the larger related scale of employer valuation of academic degrees, certifications, and work experience

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Per the instructions and sample–this slide is to cover: Background: The research on this broad topic began in 18xx and has had three major focus areas and has evolved.  Describe each one in 2 sentences and give examples of what they found out and the focus of the next major research area. Identify 4-6 arguments for the need such as (1) how it will contribute to the societal problem being solved, (2) how it will contribute to the current focus of research on that topic (3) who had identified need to do more research in related topics to it so they can argue it leads to their topic  (4) there is mixed results in the literature so there is more research needed on …  (5) most studies looked at the problems and you will reframe to look at solutions, (6) extending research to a new population  (7) weaknesses and limitations in prior studies and how study will address this issue  (8) How prior studies looked at a, b and c and how it correlated with y—and now you will combine to get a broader perspective Write this in 2-3 paragraphs as if for your Proposal: topic sentence no citation, 4-6 supporting arguments and a transition (no citation at the end!)  You dont have any supporting citations on this slide

Literature Review: Problem Space

Umit, Esra, Kultigin & Serhat (2012), identified there has been limited empirical work to examine the relationship between the elements of career motivation and key employee behavior

Existing research fails to acknowledge that 50% of employers are most interested in experience (Wierschem & Mediavilla, 2018)

The research focuses on the employer’s relative valuation of academic degrees, certifications, and work experience

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This is too old

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This is too old

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Per the instructions were you are to have FIVE empirical articles from 2019-2021 that EACH cover: Citation, “conducted a (method/design) study with (# participants) to investigate (what) and found (what). The recommendation for further research was (what?).

Literature Review: Theoretical Foundations

Company employees put in long hours of study to achieve the highest level of professional standards

Professional certifications provide increased options to an individual’s career

Professional certifications are not a requirement in the corporate setting, however employees who attain them add/offer value to the organization

Employers desire candidates with up-to-date knowledge, and professional certifications that displays to them a person’s mastery of a particular technology or practice.

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This slide does not indicate what theory you are using. You are to provide a screen shot of the theory. Please look at the samples provided in the initial announcements as a model. They are not perfect but are really good! Please try to come on my next open office hours on Sept 16 (announcements

Literature Review: Review of Literature

Theme 1: Cognitive Development

Empirical research shows that a relationship exists between professional certification development and monetary value

Theme 2: Employee success

There is a connection between professional certification and employee success in terms of career development

Theme 3: Employee performance

Professional certifications leads to improved employee performance.

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Since there was nothing in the theory slide, I am not able to see if these align with the theory–please see the samples. What you have here is all about the context of the study which would be Theme 1 and only 2-3 pages.

Problem Statement

It is not known how corporate leaders value the use of professional certifications as a perceived profitability to their organization

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This is a yes/no question and is not framed according to the theory and design. See comments on the Purpose Statement slide

Research Questions and Phenomenon

RQ1: Do corporate leaders value the use of professional certifications as a perceived profitability to their organization.

RQ2: The Knowledge and information will be used based on conceptual framework

Phenomenon:

The research will consider if corporate leaders value employees with professional certification are more profitable than those without

The research question addresses the topic by seeking to unveil the importance of professional certification to organization’s profitability.

Kristine Quade (KQ) – I am not sure where this came from–your RQs need to be framed by the theory (which was not clear)

Kristine Quade (KQ) – The way you have this framed is as a quant study– and is not a statement of the phenomena: Phenomena is defined as a fact, occurrence, or circumstance observed or observable. You are to discuss the nature of the issue that you are exploring. This means —what is going on that you are noticing? What makes individuals want to shop at Nordstroms and not another store? Describe this using your observational skills. This is not a restatement of the Problem Statement :) 

Methodology Justification

Qualitative Quantitative
Seminal sources describing qualitative methodology: Qualitative methods Descriptive – Interviews /Focus Groups/Social Media Outputs/ Archival Documentation Analysis Stewart, C. J and Cash, W B Jr. (2017). Interviewing Principles and Practices. 15th edition. New York: McGraw Hill Education Nelson, G & Evans, S. D (2014). Critical Community Psychology and Qualitative Research: A Conversation. Qualitative Inquiry, 20(2), pp. 158-166. Doi: 10.1177/1077800413510873 Seminal sources describing quantitative methodology: Quantitative methods questionnaires statistical analysis Apuke, O. D (2017). Quantitative Research Methods: A Synopsis Approach. Kuwait Chapter of Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review, 6(11), pp. 40-47. Doi: 10.12816/0040336
Justification for qualitative: It can be done with small sample size. Justification against quantitative: Requires large sample size

Kristine Quade (KQ) – The instructions for this and the design slide are: You need to put your TWO cited definitions /descriptions for each method/design. THEN 2) use the wording provided to justify for any study that would use this method/design. If your definitions are soft–there is no justification. THEN 3) provide a statement that supports why the method/design is appropriate for your study.

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This is not a justification based on the definitions (missing) for the methods

Feasibility – Slide 1

Resources for study:

Research assistants

Training of research assistants

Ethical Concerns:

Confidentiality of information collected

Informed consent before continuing with the study

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Please move this to the end

Kristine Quade (KQ) – You will not be permitted to have an assistant for this study–it needs to be your original work!

Feasibility – Slide 2

Study Alignment with Program (Identify Program of Study):

The program of study is research

Feasibility Concerns:

There may be financial hardships

The study is feasible, because it will yield new information

Findings are beneficial to professional employees and the Corporation

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Well, what is your program–move this slide to the end

Kristine Quade (KQ) – This slide is about conducting the study–not about your financial concerns.

Kristine Quade (KQ) – As a "yes/no" it will not provide new information

Next steps

Begin research process, and literature review to understand the available information concerning the topic of choices

Organize and schedule meetings/appointments with business professionals and experts familiar with expected challenges when addressing the topic

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Move to the end of the deck

Design

Design Definition Justification (use /not use)
Qualitative Descriptive The qualitative descriptive involves collecting and analyzing data simultaneously. The analysis is descriptive in nature Use
Phenomenological Phenomenological creates an understanding of the scenario based on how it is experienced or perceived by the participants without further investigation Not use
Narrative The Narrative relies on the spoken or written presentations by participants Not use
Case Study Case Study is an in-depth investigation of a group or community by considering the history, development, and other aspects Use
Grounded Theory Ground Theory focuses on constructing theory from the data collected Use

Kristine Quade (KQ) – See instructions in the method slide This needs to be Redone–see the samples in the announcements for the rigor required here.

Purpose Statement

The purpose of this qualitative study is to determine if corporate leaders value the use of professional certifications as a perceived profitability to their Northern United States organization

Kristine Quade (KQ) – What is your design? That will determine the wording of the rest–there is no "determine" in the study—and the way you have this formulated is as a "yes/no" question –not enough for a dissertation!

Population, Target Population, and Sample

Population Target Sample
500 120 90

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Please see the sample for what is required here and redo

Instrumentation and Data Sources

Data Sources #1 Data Source #2
Voice interview data Data will be recorded using an Echo Livescribe pen The data will then be transcribed using MyScribe The information will be converted into word format Hand written data Data will be converted into word file

Kristine Quade (KQ) – Please see the samples provided –what ARE the two sources of data? Interview and what else?

Data Collection Steps: Slide 1 Required permissions
