Technology And Work Life Balance

This chapter covers the background and rationale, statement of the opportunity, purpose, research questions, nature of the study, definition of key terms, the significance of the study, assumptions, and limitations. It also covers the scope, worldview and theoretical foundation depicting the logical path of the research study.

This article is well written with good general flow of thought and easy for the reader to follow. Survey methodology is employed to capture data for quantitative analysis.1

In response to the question set, I will go into detail of the study, consisting of the background, main hypotheses, as well the aims, procedure and results gathered from the study; explaining the four research methods chosen to investigate,

The information used in this report was gained from several different sources. For example, I have used information from my P4 survey, as well as my P3, M2 presentation and my M1 table of various data collection methods.

The methodology was described with the data collection method. Quantitative and qualitative questionnaire which consisted of closed questions with a choice of fixed answers and free text to enhance qualitative data were sent out in the form of mailshot, followed by telephone call to non-respondents and it was repeated for more wider sample results to gain more evidence to reduce bias (Parahoo, 2006).

IRB is an administrative body established by UNT to protect the rights and welfare of human research subjects enrolled in research. They review the research if it is conducted using any UNT employees or students as subjects, using UNT’s non-public information to identify or contact human research subjects, and research conducted by UNT employee or student in connection with their UNT responsibilities or studies. The IRB has the right to approve or disapprove all the modifications needed for research. It reviews all IRB applications and approves the research if criteria are met. IRB will review the applications for completeness, minimizing risks to subjects, ensuring voluntary participation, verifying the selection of subjects is equitable,

Work-life balance brings greater effectiveness to all aspects of life. Employees work better when they make time for family and personal interests. Many studies have shown that ability of the employee to balance stress, work and life responsibilities is directly related to workplace issues like motivation, morale, productivity and absenteeism. Where organisations provide recognition and support to help workers achieve a balance, organisational commitment is more likely to be maintained.

Although the class has not had input into the methodology used to collect the data for this report it is still important for us to know why these methods were used. Questionnaires can be useful in order to get opinions and views from a large groups of people (McLeod 2014), such like conditions for the research for this reports. This can be useful as this can be an easier way of targeting a larger audience other than in interview purposes. This will also be more time consuming as everyone is answering the same questions.

Per the assignment instructions, this paper will present the prospective study’s guiding theoretical perspective along with its corresponding propositions and concepts followed by a brief discussion of potential extant instruments capable of capturing these dimensions. Next, a review of examples of operationalization methods used to construct variables from those items in prior research will precede the unveiling of research questions and hypotheses intended for the exploration of the theory. Lastly, survey items adapted from substantiated scales will be presented at the conclusion of this paper. To assist in the navigation of the paper and

Following a critical overview of the literature, this chapter outlines the research methodology. It will provide a justification for a qualitative methodological approach and specification of methods employed. Highlighting the appropriateness of interviews and focus groups in relation to the methodology and overall research. It will also provide recognition of their relative strengths and limitations.

Everyone has been told from one time or another – don’t bring your personal life to work, and vice-versa. Easier said than done. In our current economy, families are having to work harder, and longer thus leaving less time for family and creating stress and anxiety. One thing that has statistically shown why people are stressed at work and home – the instability of work-life balance. This paper exemplifies the barriers and measures one can take to secure the balance.

This section of the paper seeks to explain the steps that were taken to gather the data, the participants and sampling that were employed, the location where the data was collected, the instruments used to gather the data, ethical considerations that were thought of and the limitations and delimitation of this research.

The research will make use of both primary and secondary sources of data. In the primary source, questionnaires and interviews were granted.

The research design is appropriate to meet the aims of the research by answering the questions sought in the study, minimizing bias and anticipating confusion (LoBiondo-Wood and Haber, 2009). The researchers have

As the name suggests, is concerned with trying to quantify things; it asks questions such as ‘how long’, ‘how many’ or ‘the degree to which’. Quantitative methods look to quantify data and generalise results from a sample of the population of interest. They may look to measure the incidence of various views and opinions in a
