Quantitative Research/Social Change and Ethics/Quantitative Business Research

The business environment today is constantly changing with
changing demands of employees especially the entry level position employees
that are costly demanding for more salaries/wages and improved services (Atmojo,
2015). Many organizations sometimes fail to recognize the signs that are
associated to low motivation as a result of unfilled demands due to lack of
transformational leadership within the organizational framework. As such the
new hires accounts for the highest employee turnover rates within most
organizations. The general business problem is organization have a high
turnover rate for entry-level employees that are a misguided by leadership. The
high turnover rates are costly to the organization since it hurts productivity,
as it is difficult to maintain the same level of productivity when the new
employees are constantly leaving the organization (Choi et al., 2016). The
specific business problem is the lack of the leadership strategies to educate
and retain entry-level employees.

Quantitative Research
and Social Change

It is crucial for you, as an independent scholar, to be able
to apply knowledge and skills in these courses—not just to your DBA Doctoral
Study, but to the wider world of business research. Promoting positive social
change includes seeking opportunities for improvement of human or social
conditions by promoting the worth, dignity, and development of individuals,
communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, or societies.

To prepare review the
articles from Katzenstein and Chrispin (2011) and Santhosh and Baral (2015). Answer in 1-2 pages and consider how the
process and results of quantitative business research can shed insights into
other areas related to positive social change such as corporate social
responsibility. Create an explanation of the relationship between quantitative
business research results and positive social change. Describe ways business
leaders can benefit both financially and socially from quantitative data analyses.
Explain how you can directly apply perspectives on promoting positive social
change to professional practice pertaining to your DBA Doctoral Study topic,
providing examples from your DBA Doctoral Study prospectus. Be sure to support
your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning
Resources and at least one additional scholarly source.

Ethics and
Quantitative Business Research

When conducting a DBA doctoral research study, independent
scholars are required to be as clear as possible in reporting the procedures
used to obtain results. Being honest in accounting for their work is essential
for researchers. The question arises as to what constitutes unethical behavior
when conducting quantitative research. A major area of concern is fabrication
of data or results and can lead to danger for others if, for example, critical
business decisions are made on the basis of false findings.

To prepare review the
articles from Frechtling and Boo (2012) and Greenwood (2016). Answer in 1-2
pages and consider the many ethical decisions you must make as an independent
scholar during your DBA doctoral research. Moreover, think about the
implications on business practice and key stakeholders if you present incorrect
findings to business leaders. Describe an analysis of the role of ethical
decision making on the practice of quantitative business research. In your
analysis, Explain the impact of using reliable and valid measures on
quantitative findings. Describe the negative impact of using inappropriate measurements, including supportive examples. Explain
the importance of knowledge of quantitative techniques to the ethical outcomes
of quantitative research. Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two
specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and at least one
additional scholarly source.
