This is an individual assessment If you experience any stress please contact: · Your course coordinator: [email protected] · Remember the learning advisors can also help with your study/academic skills: https://www.usc.edu.au/current-students/student-support/academic-and-study-support/learning-advisers · USC Student Wellbeing - counselling services (free for students): · Tel: +61 7 5430 1226 · Email: [email protected] · https://www.usc.edu.au/current-students/student-support/health-and-wellbeing/healthy-mind/student-wellbeing What is the point of the task? · Show what you have learned from Module 2 (weeks 5-7). · Demonstrate you understand what research methods are by creating a proposed research methodology section. · Confirm that you can search for journal articles and use their methods sections as examples to help you write your proposed methods section. · Overall to show your understanding of what business research is by creating the second part of a research proposal (methods section). A research method is how you the researcher proposes what research design you will have. What data will be collected to answer your research question, who to collect it from, how it will be collected, how it will be measured. What is the task? Continuing your topic from Task One you are writing the methods section of your research proposal. The methods section essentially tells the reader how you will collect your data to be able answer your research question. What you must do: · Use the same topic from Task One and your research question · Choose one research method from the following: 1. Qualitative research: in-depth interviews or a focus group 2. Experiment 3. Survey · Show your problem definition table again. This helps the reader see the proposed research design. · Explain what the chosen method is to demonstrate your understanding of that method. · Overview the procedure and participants – where, when, and how data will be collected. Justify who and how many participants are needed. How will they be recruited. How will they have informed consent and be debriefed. · Give examples of the proposed measures (questions/scales that will be used) these should link to the concepts in your research question and problem definition table from task one. · Explain using literature what the main issues of the research design are · This is different for each method and is highlighted in that week’s pre-workshop content. What are the different methods? In module two you learn about each different research method and how to design research using that method. The pre-workshop content gives lots of information on how to design the research and in the workshop content we practice/discuss research that uses that method. Week 5 – Qualitative research: interviews and focus groups. Chapter 7 of the textbook. Week 6 – Experimental research. Chapter 12 of the textbook Week 7 – Survey research. Chapter 9 and 10 of the textbook. Steps for completing the task: Step One: Choose ONE method of research: 1. Qualitative research: in-depth interviews or a focus group 2. Experiment 3. Survey Do not attempt to use more than one – the word count is too small. Step Two: Use the corresponding blank template provided to you on canvas. It has the instructions and structure of the document. This is different for each research method type, the files are separately named qualitative, experiment, or survey. Step Three: Research your chosen method. Use the course content and textbook readings as a starting point. There are many academic books concerning research design. Check the journal articles that you used in Task One – what did they use? Who were their participants? What measures did they have? This might help you design your own research and you can reference them. Look for other journal articles that use the same topic and see what their methods sections look like. Step Four: Write the proposed methods section. Use the course content to help you write your method section. Journal articles are also great for examples. What is the structure of the report? · Cover page/Title Page – Topic from Task 1, name, student number, tutor name/day/time, word count · Table of contents (should also include a list of figures / tables if used) · Introduce the situation (from Task 1 does not count towards word count) · Show the problem definition table from Task 1 · The table must include: Symptoms, likely problem(s), decision statement, research objectives, and a research question. · You can update this based on any feedback that was given. · Methodology proposal (Estimated 720-880 words): · Explain to the reader what the chosen method is and define the topic using literature. Only write about one research method there is not a large enough word count to have more than one. · Overview of the procedure – where, when, and how data will be collected. Justify who and how many participants are needed based on textbooks and journal articles. Have a look at the methods section of the articles you used in Task 1 how many participants did they have? Remember to mention the type of sampling (probability or non-probability). You must also mention business ethics (informed consent, debriefing). · Propose some measures – what questions will the participants have to answer? Again, look at journal articles concerning your topic and see what they have done (then reference them). This will be different for each methodology type, e.g., qualitative interviews use an interview protocol versus a survey/experiment that uses pre-validated instruments. Please do not make up questions without reference to literature and/or theory. · Explain using literature what the main issues of the research design are, this is different for each method type. From the pre-workshop content students were taught: · Qualitative research – intercoder reliability and generalizability. How can these issues be overcome. · Experiments – main effects, interaction effects, how to reduce experimental error, issues of experimental validity (there are 10 mentioned in the pre-workshop content no need to cover all of them just choose 1-2), how can these issues be overcome. · Survey research – three criteria to good measurement, reliability (Cronbach’s alpha), Validity (face, content, criterion, construct, convergent, divergent [only mention one to two – face and content are the easiest]), how can these issues be overcome. · Have a concluding paragraph · List of references – either APA or Harvard (choose one and be consistent) Report format: Font size 12, Times New roman, 1.5 spacing, and word count 800 (+/- 10% 720-880 words). Note. The word count does not include the problem definition section, headings, tables, graphs/figures, the reference list, or appendices if you choose to have one. See the marking criteria on the next page Levels of Achievement Criteria High Distinction 85 to 100 % Distinction 75 to 84 % Credit 65 to 74 % Pass 50 to 64 % Fail 0 to 49 % Criteria 1: Overview of the method (4 marks) The method very well explained using references to journal articles. The literature is very well integrated to propose the research method that will be used to answer the problem/research question from Task 1. There is a clear logical link from the research question to the chosen method. The literature/theory is used to explain why this method is the best for answering the proposed research project. The method is reasonably defined using references to the literature and/or academic textbooks. There might be some detail missing or the definition is too general and not applied to the proposed research topic. The literature is fairly well integrated to propose the research method that will be used to answer the problem/ research question from Task 1. The method is fairly well explained but it might not be well integrated or only sources of academic textbooks or the course textbook is used. There might be some detail missing or the definition is too general and not applied to the current proposed research. The literature is used to propose the research method that will be used to answer the problem/ research question from Task 1 but this could have used more explanation or justification as to why. The method is explained but it might not be well integrated with literature or only sources of academic textbooks are used. The literature is used to propose the research method that will be used to answer the problem from Task 1. There might be some detail missing or the definition is too general and not well applied to the current proposed research. Does not use the literature to explain and define the chosen method. There might be some detail missing or the definition is too general and/or simplistic. The topic was not followed, or did not follow the task instructions, or the entire section is bullet points or blank. Criteria 2: Procedure and participants (4 marks) The procedure is overviewed in detail. It covers who the participants will be and how many will participate. This is well justified and supported by academic journal articles on a similar topic. The proposed sample size is reasonable and details concerning when, where, and what participants need to do is well covered. How participants will be recruited has been explained in detail. The type of sampling is mentioned. This section addresses the most important points concerning ethics: including informed consent and debriefing. The procedure is well overviewed - who the participants will be and how many will participate. This is fairly well justified and supported by academic journal articles on a similar topic. How participants will be recruited has been well explained. The proposed sample size is fairly reasonable but might be either too small or unreasonably large. Details concerning when, where, how, and what participants need to do is fairly well covered but might be lacking some details. The type of sampling is mentioned.

Introduce the situation
Behaviour can determine the culture for safety in the hospital that can threaten the overall wellbeing of healthcare workers. It is seen that negative behaviour in the workplace is affecting employee satisfaction, engagements of doctor and nurses, productivity and retention. The exposure to the contributing factors of negative behaviour is correlated with elements of HSOPS and it includes response of management towards errors. The reduction to healthcare worker is the contributing factor that results in negative behaviour. The negative environment created burden on worker and it includes decreased self-esteem, depression and decreased passion for profession. It is increasing dissatisfaction among employee and it can incease stress for both nurse and doctors.
