    The document outlines the methodology for research design and results reporting. It provides guidance on (1) explaining how data were obtained and analyzed, what was found, and justifying methodological choices, and (2) detailing the sample and data collection process, measurement approach, validity tests, statistical analysis techniques, and discussing implications. Key areas that must be reported on and justified include the sample, data collection tools, variables, validity tests, statistical models, and discussing what the results mean and how they further understanding. Common errors to avoid are only restating results, lack of focus, overreaching conclusions, and not addressing limitations.

    Original Description:

    Report to the readers (1) How the data were obtained; with justification for methodological choices. (2) how the data were analyzed and what was found. (3) Completeness, clarity, justification

    Methodology-Research

    design and results

    Report to the readers


    (1) How the data were obtained; with justification for
    methodological choices.
    (2) how the data were analyzed and what was found.

    Completeness, clarity, justification

    Sample and data collection

    Explain in detail not only what happened, but why you made certain decisions.

    Sample? Which industry/industries? Why? Why single/multiple industries?

    Which country/countries? Why?

    How did you identify the sample? How many?

    Data collection tool/s (survey, archival, interview, experiment, ..) and why?

    Who

    were the respondents? How were the participants contacted, what

    kinds of encouragement for participation were used? Unit of analysis?

    Time/respondent separation (common-method bias)?

    Response rate? Non-response bias test?

    Measurement

    Dependent, independent and control variables (what and why).

    Conceptual definition.

    Scale/items (justification for a particular operationalization/specific


    dimensions).

    If adapted, report how (clarity) and explain why?

    Measurement validity.

    Alpha cronbach.

    Measurement validity tests


    Common

    method bias (Harman test, marker variable, time ad

    respondent separation, different scale format, reverse items, ..)

    Discriminate

    validity (chi-square difference test)

    Results

    Statistical technique/s

    table for means, standard deviation, and correlations

    Specify

    models

    Summarize
    Discuss

    each hypothesis before reporting the related results

    the implications of the findings in the discussion section.

    Discussing the implications

    Discussing the implications

    A chance to strengthen your studys message and its importance.

    What we know now, which is different.


    What

    are the results?

    What

    do they mean?

    How do they extend our understanding?


    New and promising lines of inquiry.

    Common errors
    Only

    resummarizing the results

    Lack

    of focus and being superficial

    Overreaching

    (deriving sweeping conclusions that outstrip the data)

    Sweeping under the carpet

    Further discussion
    Practical implications

    Limitations and future research


    Finishes the paper with something warm and fuzzy
