In this Discussion, you will conduct a literature review of your topic area (4-Day Work Week, Work-Life Balance or Employee Happiness, Turnover in Nonprofit Organizations), focusing your choice on a research study that uses one of the qualitative approaches covered this week.
- Looking for a particular kind of qualitative article on your topic may be more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Do not hesitate to broaden your search to incorporate related phenomena or different target groups in order to find a study.
- Make sure you get the complete citation of the article, as well as the .pdf, because your Instructor will want to review the article.
- Be aware that your posting will first require an extensive article analysis. What you post is a summary of your work, not the entire analysis. This is good practice for summarizing and evaluating research for your capstone.
To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review the reading materials about the different approaches in this week’s Learning Resources.
- Conduct your own literature search to find a published study that represents one of the approaches.
- Review the following resources before proceeding with your own article review:
Document: R8360 Guidelines for Reading and Evaluating Qualitative Research Articles (PDF)
Document: Example of How to Read and Evaluate a Qualitative Research Article (PDF)
By Day 3
Contribute a 3-paragraph post in which you respond to the following:
- Summarize the characteristics of the approach of the research article you chose during your literature search.
- Summarize the research article, including the citation and sufficient information for your classmates and Instructor to locate the article.
- Present a short critique of that article based on the “R8360 Guidelines for Reading and Evaluating Qualitative Research Articles” document.
