INTRODUCTION Research methodologies are the essential part in doing research and it had been discussed in many past studies in order to give more understanding toward this issue. It can be divided into few parts which are quantitative research, qualitative research and mixed method research. However, among these research methods it cannot be stated which methods are the most comprehensive because each methods have their own value in research. This task trying to give full view of qualitative research and
as observable and external so that they are interested in conducting research which is based on measurement or calculation. Therefore, it is the ontological and epistemological beliefs that usually drive the methodological preferences, but what helps the researchers make their final decisions about research methods is the guiding research question(s). Sechrest and Sidani (1995) point out the commonality that both methodologies “describe their data, construct explanatory arguments form their data
Introduction Research design gives the adhesive that binds the research project together. A design is utilized to structure the research, to indicate all of the main parts of the research project, the samples or groups, measures, treatments or programs, and methods of task work together to endeavour to depict the focal point of the research questions (Trochim 2002). Implementing the research design entails actually doing the writing bit of all the master plan designed. This session 8 would discuss
The Evidence Base Practice Research Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Approaches The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)is the systematic decision-making process to improve the work environment and clinical practices to get better quality patient outcomes. The EBP is the process where data collection, organizing, processing and implementing of the research findings are the critical points for the right results. One of the essential aspects of interest of using EBP research for nursing practice is that
and affective, as well as behavioural components. Existing sports fan research utilises either strong qualitative, or more often, strong quantitative methodologies. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach are outlined, developing the argument that the use of a single methodology often fails to explore all of these components. The use of a mixed methods approach is suggested to counteract this weakness and to enhance research into the sports fan. Introduction Although interest in the sports

The EBP is the process where data collection, organizing, processing and implementing of the research findings are the critical points for the right results. One of the essential aspects of interest of using EBP research for nursing practice is that it gives the highest conceivable quality care and cost-effective treatment possible. It helps to fill the gaps and weaknesses in patient care so that patients

Abdullrahim (2010) in her dissertation titled “Service Quality of English Islamic Banks” used a qualitative focus groups research methodology as a primary data collection, which is closely related to the methodology I will propose to use in my study. Abdullrahim (2010) used a mixed methodology of qualitative (focus group) and quantitative (questionnaire) to conduct the study. A modified service quality model (SERVQUAL) was used to measure the quality of service in Islamic banks in the United Kingdom

2016). A median turnover rate of 67% for part-time employees is roughly half of the cost if not more (Oviedo-Garcia & Vega-Vazquez, 2014). Most companies are adopting the impersonalizing contact, online application process, and pre-employment skills test, while ignoring the impact of high turnover rates (Nguyen, Nica, & Bose, 2015). Research suggests an employee’s lack of job satisfaction in part due to a shortage of incentives for front line managers (Chang & Zhang, 2016). Additionally, Millennial
