Article Interrogation
Article 2: “Organizational Justice and Job Satisfaction as Predictors of Turnover Intentions among teachers in the Offinso South District of Ghana.”
From the two articles in assignments 5 and 6, article 2 is far much better than article 1 based on its methodology. First, comparing the two articles, article two is replicable compared to article one. Article 2 has been cited in 27 more published articles, validating its replicability. For instance, the article was used in the study by Akar & Celik (2019) to study organizational justice and cynicism.
The study was done in the same location but in different schools. The different schools have different experiences and, hence, no bias. Additionally, the sample size used represented more than half the overall teachers’ population. Therefore, the results of the study can be used to represent a large population. On the contrary, article 1 was based on an individual’s views regarding the attractiveness of the red color. The study involved only 12 participants, which is a minimal sample to be used in representing the public value. A study dependent on the participant’s views requires a larger sample size before an inference can be drawn from it.
Secondly, the study in Article 2 was in generalization mode. The study was investigative to find out why there was a high turnover of teachers and why teachers were leaving their profession. The results of the study were to be used to represent the whole population of teachers. There was no theory about teachers’ high turnover, and hence, the study was not an evaluation but an investigative one. The generalization mode impacted positively on the external and internal validation of the study. For instance, since the study involved more than half of the overall teachers’ population, an inference can be drawn from it to represent all teachers.
Lastly, the study is more important in the real world than the study in article one. The study majored on issues affecting the occupation of teachers, and therefore, the results can be used for improvement. The government of Ghana can use the results from the study to come up with interventions that can motivate teachers to do their jobs and reduce the high turnover of teachers in schools. This does not just apply to Ghana alone, but the study represents all teachers worldwide.

In 250-500-words, apply concepts learned in this course to make an argument why the article is the most important. Use APA format, citing evidence from the article.
Include the following:
Is the study replicable? (Did it actually replicate—if not, could you replicate it?) What is the evidence for its replicability?
Is the study in generalization mode or theory-testing mode? Explain how this affects the types of validities prioritized.
Explain if the study is important in the real world or advances further research.
