What is research? Process of finding solutions to a problem After a thorough study and analysis of the situational factors
Definition of Business Research organized
scientific inquiry investigation
systematic
finding answers or solutions to a problem objective
data-based
critical
Types of Business Research Applied
solves a current problem faced by the manager in the work setting, demanding a timely solution discovering solutions for immediate problems or opportunities
Basic
generates a body of knowledge by trying to comprehend how certain problems that occur in organizations can be solved solve perplexing questions or obtain new knowledge of an experimental or theoretical nature that has little direct or immediate impact on action, performance, or policy decisions
Ethical Issues at all Stages of the Research Process
Ethical Treatment of Participants 2-7
Explain study benefits
Explain participant rights and protections Obtain informed consent
Components of Informed Consent 2-8
Identify researchers Describe survey topic Describe target sample Identify sponsor Describe purpose of research Promise anonymity and confidentiality
Give “good-faith” estimate of required time commitment State participation is voluntary State item-non response is acceptable Ask for permission
Characteristics of Informed Consent 2-9
Competence
Knowledge
Elements
Informed
Voluntary
2-10
Ethical Responsibilities Special guidelines apply to children! Informed consent means parental approval.
Deception 2-11
Disguising non-research activities Camouflaging true research objectives
Debriefing 2-12
Explain any deception
Describe purpose Share results Provide follow-up
Participant Confidentiality 2-13
Obtain signed nondisclosure Nondisclosure of data subsets
Restrict access to ID
Minimize instruments requiring ID

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
The Hallmarks of Scientific Research Purposiveness
Focus to research purpose
Rigor
Good and careful methodology
Testability
Logically developed hypotheses
Replicability
The findings should be supported when the same type of research is repeated in other circumstances Precision: closeness to reality Confidence: Probability that our estimations are correct The conclusion is based on the facts of the findings derived from actual data The scope of applicability of research findings in other settings A good understanding of the problem, theory, and methodology
Precision and confidence Objectivity Generalizabi lity Parsimony
Hypothetico-Deductive Research
Develop hypotheses Define the problem statement Identify a broad problem area
Determine measures
Data collection
Deductive Vs Inductive
Deductive
• From general theory to application of a specific case. • Hypothesis testing
Inductive
• From specific phenomena to draw general conclusions • Counting white swans
Cases
Analisis Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Prestasi Akademis Mahasiswa Akuntansi IBS
Identify a broad problem area
IPS dan IPK rata-rata mahasiswa cenderung turun Banyak pengaduan dari mahasiswa mengenai dosen Banyak pengaduan dari dosen mengenai mahasiswa Mahasiswa kritis meningkat
Define the problem statement • Define aim or purpose • Menginvestigasi penyebab penurunan prestasi akademis mahasiswa IBS • Gathering initial information • Mahasiswa, dosen, BAA, jurusan, litelature
• Go get the “feel” to the situation • Butuh solusi aplikatif untuk menyelesaikan masalah tersebut
Develop Hypotheses • Identify variables • Identify association between theory and variables • Hypothesis should testable and falsifiable • Falsifiable: possibility to disprove the hypothesis • We can “prove” our hypothesis until they are disprove
Determine Measures • Operationalize the variables • Define the variables • Determine how to measure variables • Theory • Preliminary research
Data Collection
Types of Data
Types of Techniques
Data Analysis
Descriptive Statistics Inferential Statistics
• Data characteristics • Identify the accuracy of data input • Data distribution, range, dispersion
• • • •
Appropriate statistical analysis Differential analysis Correlation analysis Regretion Analysis
Interpretation of Data • Are hypothesis supported by data
• Giving explanations • Theory • Previous Research
