 BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF RESEARCH

Research has only one main objective and that is the upliftment of the quality of
life. Thus, you have to be convinced that this study of yours would lead to the ultimate
goal of improving people’s lives, not just to comply with a requirement.

To be able to do this, you may identify the groups who would eventually benefit
from your study, starting from the most direct beneficiaries to the ones who would be
indirectly benefited by it. The study on the job satisfaction and job performance would
probably directly benefit the employees, their clients, the HR Managers and indirectly,
the Department of Labor and Employment, the community, the society as a whole.

After identifying the beneficiaries of the study, discuss the specific benefit that
they would get from it: that is, by discussing how the study would help in solving existing
problems of these identified groups leading towards an upliftment of their situation.

In other formats of research, this section is called “Significance of the Study”.

How to Write “Benefits and Beneficiaries/Significance of the Study”

STEP ONE

Identify the beneficiary or beneficiaries.

STEP TWO

Describe the “benefit or benefits” that will be derived from the research or study.

If you have few beneficiaries, you can just write it in one or two paragraphs.
Explain why it is important to conduct the study and how they can benefit from it.

If you have many beneficiaries, you can use the following format:

1. 1st paragraph- Why is it important to conduct this study?

2. 2nd paragraph- The main beneficiary – either a group or an organization
3. 3rd paragraph- The secondary beneficiary
4. 4th paragraph- The importance of the study to the researchers
5. 5th paragraph- The importance to future researchers
Aspects of Significance
1. Significance for Theory

In this section of the problem statement, the researcher can outline the research study’s
contribution to fundamental knowledge by describing how the study fits into the theoretical
traditions in the sciences or applied fields in ways that will be new, insightful or creative
(Marshall and Rossman, 1995).

2. Significance for Policy and Practice

The significance of a study for policy and practice can be established by presenting data to
show how often the problem occurs and how costly it can be.

BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF

RESEARCH FROM ACTUAL STUDIES
1. Title of the Study: A Study of How Former High School Dropouts View the
Reasons they Dropped Out and Why They Returned (Cristina Grace Brooks,
2015)
Significance of the Project for Social Work

A school social worker can be instrumental in helping to prevent school dropouts

(Jozefowicz, 2008). They can be involved in implementing, maintaining, and monitoring the
creation and integration of services for young adolescents. With the right training and
institutional supports, school social workers can promote student and school success and
can increase the knowledge of effective prevention efforts. Gaining insight from personal
experiences of adults who have dropped out of school in the past, can be used to help
construct more efficient and effective prevention programs.

Research from this standpoint needs elaboration in order to truly understand the
characteristics of dropping out of school, as well as the factors that contributed to re-
enrolment. This study provides additional support for the field of social work, providing more
information about students who are at risk of dropping out and how these factors are
connected to the educational system.
 2. Title of the Study: The Effects of Computer-Assisted Instruction in the
Performance of Students in Asian History and Civilization (Cuenca, 2008(

The findings of this study may provide deeper insights on how teaching can be
made easier and more meaningful by the use of computer-aided instruction. The study
determined the significant effects of slide presentation in instruction, a form of computer
instruction on the performance of the students in the subjects Asian History and
Civilization.

To the students, the results may serve as an inspiration for them to continuously
improve their skills in using computers because they will realize the comfort that computer
skills offer in complying with the requirements of major subjects in the coming years.

To the administrators, the results may serve as a guide in the program-planning

and implementation of the IT department so that they can be of great help to the teachers
of the university.

To the teachers, the results may serve as an eye opener for those who are not
comfortable on the use of computers in their class lesson presentations. The findings of
this study may encourage more of them to apply computer-aided instruction in teaching.

3. Title of the Study: Staff Nurses’ Roles on the Accuracy of Specimen

Collection in Selected Government and Private Hospitals in Bulacan:
Relations to their Work Performance (Reyes, 2007)

The results of this study will be of great benefit to the following:

Clinical Instructors. The results of the study will provide them research-based
information as to the extent of participation engaged in infection control. From the results,
they could identify which areas they need to enhance and improve as well as the areas
needed to be sustained for better implementation.

Head Nurses. This will provide a clear picture of the performance of their
subordinate nurses. This will enable them to give emphasis in supervising and coaching
the staff nurses so as to increase their level of performance. Furthermore, this will
determine the type of management skills that head nurses need to function effectively in
the organization and will shed light on areas in the current management practices that
needed to be worked up.

Nursing Personnel. This study will provide information on the extent of managerial
skills that the head nurse actually employs. This can be realized if these nurses become
aware of their behavior towards others which must be in accord with the standard values
of the nursing profession.
Directions: Read the foregoing text from the study of Rafanan (2012). Identify the
beneficiaries and benefits by completing the table. Use your answer sheet.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the on-going Scholarship Program

of the Municipality of Castillejos with the hope that findings would prove useful to the
following:

The policymakers may review the existing Scholarship Ordinance and

consider certain amendments which are necessary for the improvement of the Scholarship
Program.

The implementers may consider the findings of this study in strengthening

the implementation of the program.

The scholars were given an opportunity to raise their sentiments regarding

the program and further benefit in the improved implementation of the program.

Public Officials in general may find that evaluation of public programs is

necessary in public administration and can be used as a powerful tool for them to know if the
program is delivering the intended impact.

And lastly the future public administration students may find this useful for
any program evaluation research.

 Directions: The following are possible titles of studies. Write Significance of the Study
appropriate for each. Be guided by the rubric.

1. Unemployment Data in Barangay San Joaquin

This analysis uses unemployment claims data in Barangay San Joaquin. The study is to determine
which factors impact the person emerging from unemployment and the duration of unemployment.
The benefits of this study are to help the community and to give opportunities for the beneficiaries. It
can also benefit the society.

The study examines factors, to determine which influences impact the duration of unemployment. In
particular, this will examine the impact of education on the unemployed which has been a problem for
a long time. This study helps to identify the influences that achieve these outcomes and to benefit
them in a way that they’ll be provided a permanent occupation.

To the companies that need people they can be trusted of handling their business. This study will
give them the advantage to find dedicated employee that can help them to the success of the
business. Having an employee who’s dedicated in their work, the company can be more
profitable/beneficial this can also help the unemployed to have the opportunity to have a job and the
community as well.

For the government, the output of this study will help them to identify and analyze the growing
number of unemployed in the community. Thus, the government can provide jobs for the unemployed
and can also increase the growth of our economy.

2.Financial Literacy of Grade 12 Students

This study intends to identify the financial literacy of Grade 12 students, and it is significant to
conduct this study as financial literacy equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to
efficiently manage money. Understanding the basics of money management: budgeting, saving,
debt, investing, giving and more, creates the groundwork for students to develop healthy money
habits early on and prevent many mistakes that could lead to lifelong money struggles.

This research will assist them in understanding the value of money, in order to manage their
finances. If they are financially literate, they will understand all the basics of money management
mentioned above. They will not simply squander their money on unnecessary stuff such high-priced
gadgets, apparel, signature bags, shoes and clothes. They will have a better awareness of the
distinction between wants and needs, and have the necessary instinct of prioritizing needs before
wants.

This study not just apply in their life as a student it also assists in securing their future. As financial
literacy is considered as a core of lifetime skill for participating in this modern society. The benefit of
knowledge and skills of students also gives them the ability to pass it to the upcoming generation.
They can be able to secure the future of future generation. Being financially literate also teaches
practicality in life. They will be more accountable and objective in their assessments.
