Analyzing the Methodology of Scientific Research- Purpose and Problem Identification
Parenthetical Citation | Purpose of the study (word-for-word) | Statement of the research problem (summarized in your own words) | Limitations and Implications of the study (summarized in your own words) | Ethical conduct demonstrated in the study | Future research possibilities (e.g., how could a researcher extend the research detailed in the study—may address limitations, for example) |
(Ahmadi et al., 2023) | To examine the factors that should be considered for the personal well-being of managers in small businesses by focusing on the job demands-resources model. | Past studies have discussed the various factors that predict the well-being of entrepreneurs. However, the studies have not sufficiently addressed the occupational determinants of the well-being of managers in small businesses. Therefore, additional research is required to determine the sources of well-being for managers in small businesses. | It was impossible to investigate the variations in managers’ or companies’ characteristics because of the nature of the sample and the sample size. The COVID-19 pandemic also limited the researchers’ likelihood of reaching out to participants and might have diminished the managers’ willingness to participate in the research, thus affecting the sample and the study’s results. | The researcher informed the research participants about the purpose of the study. The participants were also informed that their participation was voluntary and they had the right to withdraw from the study at any point without the need to provide a reason for their withdrawal. The researchers also observed ethical considerations by maintaining the anonymity of the research participants and the confidentiality of the information they shared. The researchers also obtained informed consent from the participants before their interview. | Additional research in future research could focus on determining the differences in the resources that organizations use to support managers in small businesses to get a detailed comprehension of the differences in the resources in large and small businesses. Future studies could also focus on the changes in the well-being of managers in small businesses and their work based on the changing nature of small enterprises. Another area that future studies could consider is the working conditions of companies in different growth stages, including companies in different growth stages. |
(Knezevic et al., 2023) | To review the experiences of healthcare workers in a small rural hospital in Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD), New South Wales (NSW), who were working as Wellness Warriors to support their community’s well-being after the bushfires in Australia between 2019 and 2020. | Although combined strengths-based wellness programs support the well-being of healthcare workers after natural disasters, there are limited studies on the use of strengths-based wellness interventions in disaster recovery in Australia, where natural disasters are recurring and common, and very little is known about the impact of workplace wellness interventions on healthcare workers. | The researchers relied on a small sample from one regional area and concentrated on a single aspect of the wellness program, which is why ‘Wellness Warriors’ experiences may not certainly represent all the healthcare workers who participated in the wellness program. The second limitation was that interviews could only be conducted via telephone because of the COVID-19 restrictions, which led to challenges in creating rapport and trust with staff. | Participants used written consent to agree to participate in the study. The researchers also acquired ethical approval from the University of Wollongong and the Human Research Ethics Committee of NSW Health. | Future studies could focus on identifying and describing the wellness interventions currently being used in healthcare settings and designing, evaluating, and implementing new support programs. |
(Marenus et al., 2022) | To establish whether there are variations by job class and gender in health scores’ workplace culture, depression, stress, and work engagement and review the link between depression, stress, work engagement, and workplace culture of health while controlling for biometric data, job class, gender, and age. | Although many studies have reviewed the link between employee health outcomes and the healthcare workplace culture, there are limited studies on emotional well-being. Current studies have also not considered the physical health condition of employees in relation to employee health outcomes and workplace culture. | The dataset did not have identifiers, making it challenging to add context to the employees selected for assessment in the study. The culture of health in the workplace was also evaluated at a single point, which may fail to determine every employee’s long-term health condition and view of the health culture in their workplace fully. | The participation of the research participants was voluntary. All participants were also informed and consented to participate in the research before completing the survey used to collect data. The researchers also maintained the anonymity of the research participants. | Future research could focus on factors that enhance workplace culture of health and the employee outcomes related to a healthy workplace. |
(Pauksztat et al., 2022) | To establish whether various types of social support are different in their ability to prevent the adverse effects of being exposed to bullying behavior and determine whether the shielding effect of support is different for exhaustion, anxiety, and depression. | It is not clear whether various support interventions have the same impacts and if support effectively supports buffering equally for various well-being aspects. | The cross-sectional research design made it difficult for the researchers to come to a conclusive conclusion about the direction of causality. | The participation of the research participants was voluntary. The researchers also maintained the anonymity of the research participants. The participants also offered informed consent confirming that they were within the age group of 18 years and above, had reviewed the information about the research, and were willingly participating in the research. | Future research could focus on exploring the forms of social support in various organizational and occupational settings, including non-remote and remote jobs, and their effectiveness. |
