Order Description

Project:
• Qualitative research project on leader-follower communication (ldr-flwr-rsrch) (I HAVE DONE A SIMILAR PROJECT AND HAVE ATTACHED MY GRADED WORK SO THAT YOU CAN SEE HOW ITS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE) (PLEASE FOLLOWING ACCORDINGLY) (PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS) (DRAFT DUE DATE:2/1/2017 @0800)

Details:

Locate three followers who report to different organizational leaders (three different leaders).

Using qualitative in-depth interview methods and procedures, determine what followers want from their leaders with regard to communication — style, quantity, type, etc.

Write a research paper that presents the research question, the methods and procedures used, the data collected, the analysis of the data, and your general findings.

Your interviews MUST be conducted face-to-face or via phone or SKYPE.
Your personal research MUST be supported by further academic research. You can easily expect to have 6 or more external academic references.

Excellent research papers will include tables, charts, graphs or diagrams representing your findings.

Excellent research papers will include the interview questions among the items in the Appendices.

As you work on this assignment you will find the attached sample from Dr. Cabanda helpful in coding your data.

The assignment this period is a qualitative paper examining what followers expect of leaders concerning their communication.

Your interview questions are key to your data collection. Taking time to shape a few good questions will yield tremendous information for you. I’m glad to review your questions prior to your interviews.

You will likely want to collect other data to correspond with, enhance and strengthen your qualitative data. For this you may want to use an online data collection site. I have used Zoomerang and currently use SurveyMonkey. There are MANY MANY free online sites you can select from. I mention this because it will take you longer in the beginning to set this up, but will SAVE you countless hours in the data processing.

A qualitative study does not mean that you will not have quantitative data. Be sure to include questions with measures not just narratives in your composites.
I ENCOURAGE you to share sites you have used with your peers. In the Water Cooler in BB I have created a forum for this purpose. When you post, please post the site link and a brief description of why you like the site. Also note any key limitations. This will be helpful to all.

General notes about the Period 2 assignment:
1. Cover page – your document must have a cover page. See APA for how to handle this.
2. Abstract – your document must have an Abstract. See APA for how to handle this.
3. Introduction – your document should have a clear introduction that sets up the document for the reader. Telling the reader what the key thought of the document is, what you will cover, what they can expect to read and entices them to read on.
4. Structure – Work on preparing outlines for yourselves. How will you present what you are finding through your research? What is important for the reader to know? What did you discover?
5. Conclusion – your document must have a clear conclusion. Don’t introduce something new in the conclusion. This is a summation and inspiration.
6. Once you’ve written your paper, craft it. Take time to review and revise. I do NOT want to be the first other person to read your document.

This should help everyone in general.
