I will involve looking at the impact of religion on management. First, I will use deductive an inductive data analysis. Through deductive data analysis, I will hypothesis a number of issues. For instance, I can ask if religion can promote the ethical standards of a given institution (Turabian, 2014). I will also hypothesize if religion can be an impediment to peaceful co-existence among employees within an organization.
I will then settle on the setting of my research. My research setting will be the natural environment where all the required information can be found. I will then settle on the type of data collection techniques to use. The method of data collection will depend on the nature and type of person providing the information.
Thus, my method of research will involve mixed method. I will use quantitative method to collect and analyze data. Through face to face interview, I will collect information from a number of respondents. I will also use questionnaires with open ended questions to gather information from clients who may not prefer or may not have time for face to face interview. I will then use graphs and tables to analyze my results. Qualitative method will be applied in analyzing textual data and case studies. Through this method, I will formulate theories and hypothesis. I will also study the relationship between various variables that are related to my line of study. Finally, I will settle on the procedures of conducting the research. The procedures will incorporate the designing of questionnaires, preparing a budget for the research and notifying all the concerned stakeholders of my intended research. It shall also incorporate the data analysis procedures and the presentation of already analyzed data (Yin, 2011).

I will involve looking at the impact of religion on management.
First, I will use deductive an inductive data analysis. Through
deductive data analysis, I will hypothesis a number of issues.
For instance, I can ask if religion can promote the ethical
standards of a given institution (Turabian, 2014). I will also
hypothesize if religion can be an impediment to peaceful co-
existence among employees within an organization.
I will then settle on the setting of my research. My research
setting will be the natural environment where all the required

collection techniques to use. The method of data collection will
depend on the nature and type of person providing the

Thus, my method of research will involve mixed method. I will
use quantitative method to collect and analyze data. Through
face to face interview, I will collect information from a number
of respondents. I will also use questionnaires with open ended
questions to gather information from clients who may not prefer

· Concept may be “immature” due to a lack of theory and
previous research
· The available theory may be inaccurate, inappropriate or
biased
· A need exists to explore and describe the phenomena and
develop a theory
· The nature of the phenomenon may not be suited for
quantitative research
· May be less inductive while relying on the perspective of the

4. understanding the factors that influence an outcome
· Researchers may advance a theory to test
· Incorporate substantial reviews of the literature
· Written from an impersonal point of view and in the past tense
to convey o
· objectivity

MethodsResearch Questions and Hypotheses
Qualitative Research Questions
· The qualitative researcher asks one or two central questions
. A broad question asked for an exploration of the central
phenomenon or concept in a study.
. The question is posed consistent with the emerging
methodology of qualitative research.
· The qualitative researcher also asks several associated
5. subquestions.
. Subquestions narrow the focus of the study but leave open the
questioning
. The researcher asks no more than 5 to 7 subquestions.
. The sub questions become specific questions used during
interviews (or in observing or when looking at documents).
· Relate the central question to the specific qualitative strategy
of inquiry.
· Begin the research questions with the words what or how to
convey an open and emerging design.
· Focus on a single phenomenon or concept.
· Use exploratory verbs that convey the language of the
emerging design. For example:
. Report
. Describe
. Discover, etc.
· Use nondirectional rather than directional words such as
affect, influence or impact. These directional words suggest
quantitative research.
· Expect the research questions involving change during study.
· Use open ended questions without reference to the literature or
theory, unless otherwise indicated by a qualitative strategy of
inquiry.
· Specify the participants in the research site for the study.
Quantitative Research Questions and Hypotheses
· Quantitative research questions inquire about the relationships
among variables.
· Quantitative hypotheses are predictions the researcher makes
about the expected outcomes of relationships among variables.
· Guidelines for writing quantitative research questions and
hypotheses include:
. The use of variables is typically limited to three basic
approaches.
. The researcher may compare groups on independent variable to
see its impact on a dependent variable
. the researcher may relate one or more independent variables to
6. one or more dependent variables
. The researcher may describe responses to the independent,
mediating, or dependent variables.
· The most rigorous formal quantitative research follows from a
test of a theory. The research questions or hypotheses logically
follow from the relationship among variables in the theory.
· The independent and dependent variables must be measured
separately and not measured on the same concept.
· Write only research questions or hypotheses not both unless
the hypotheses built on the research questions.
· There are two forms of hypotheses
. The null hypothesis represents the traditional approach. It
makes a prediction that in the general population’s no
relationships were significant differences exist.
. The alternative hypothesis makes a prediction about the
expected outcome, basing the prediction on prior literature. The
alternative hypothesis can be directional or nondirectional.
· Generally use non-demographic variables such as attitudes or
behaviors as mediating variables or moderating variables.
· Use the same pattern of word order in the questions or
hypotheses to help the reader to easily identify major variables.
A Model for Descriptive Questions and Hypotheses
· Write descriptive questions followed by inferential questions
or hypotheses.
· The writer specifies descriptive questions for each
independent dependent variable and important intervening or
moderating variables. Inferential questions that relate variables
or compare groups will follow these descriptive questions.
Mixed Methods Research Questions and Hypotheses
· Either qualitative and quantitative research questions or
hypotheses need to be advanced in a mixed methods study.
· When writing these questions or hypotheses follow the
guidelines for scripting good questions or hypotheses.
· Attention should be given to the order of the research
questions and hypotheses. For example. In a two-phase project,
the first phase questions would come first.
7. · In addition to quantitative and qualitative questions or
hypotheses include a mixed methods research question that
addresses the mixing of the quantitative and qualitative strands.
· There are three forms to writing mixed method questions.
. Convey the methods or procedures in a study
. Convey the content of the study
. Combine the methods and content.
· An ideal format would be to write the questions into separate
sections, such as a quantitative questions or hypotheses,
qualitative questions, in the mixed methods question.

Strategic Human Resource Management in Grady Memorial
Hospital
The Grady Memorial Hospital has long been proving general
healthcare to the United States citizen. The low income people
have often benefited from the hospital since it provides
specialized services to the public. In the recent past, many
hospitals, especially in the private sector, have left their
mandate and focus on provision of quality care to the members
of the public and have concentrated in profit making. There are
major success factors that affects human resources in health
care practices management.
Human resource is imperative to any health institution.
However many heathcare institution have been unable to
9. properly manage its human factor. Many hospitals have often
lacked a clear comprehension of their objective and their
strategic intent. Therefore, such a hospitals human resource are
incoherent and lack direction. Human resource management is
now taken as an important strategic paradign in which selection,
recruitment, training, performance appraisal as well as
compensation functions. Recruitment and retention of well
qualified professions in the hospital is among the human
resource management issues that many public hospital have
been facing.
This paper tries toexamine the modest competencies that are
imperative in managing the human resource in Grady Memorial
Hospital which have been hampering the performance of the
hospital’s human resource factor. The paper aims at revealing
the importance of human resource management in health care,
more specifically in Grady Memorial Hospital. The challenges
facing the hospital will be examined and suggestions of how
this problems can be overcomed will be discussed. Among the
key factors that the hospital must adopt is the proper
implementation and management of its human resource.

Outcomes of a Strategic
Performance Measurement System-Based Incentive Plan.

This study is quantitative in nature. In recent years, strategic
performance measurement systems (SPMS) which are
translating company’s strategies to its workers are being widely
used. This study examines whether the use of SPMS together
with strategy impacts on employee productivity indirectly by
motivating them, through means of supposed psychological
contract and self-efficacy. The study uses data collected from
242 employees from various firms, and it finds an evidence
showing that using SPMS together with a strategy has an impact
on organizational employees supposed psychological contract
11. and self-efficacy. The study reveals that self-efficacy is an
important dimension when it comes to intrinsic motivation.
Hence, the research implications are that coupling tightly an
SPMS- related incentive program with the firm’s strategy
facilitates in creating internal motivation among the employees.
Additionally, the study levels that self-efficacy and employee
performance only holds mainly for the older employees who are
less educated.

This study presents findings from a research that examines the
impact of empowerment climates and reward on a firm
performance as well as explores the various ways in which
climate interacts. The results of the study look at the positive
impacts of the organizational climate on innovation and
productivity, anticipation of problems related to empowering
employees as well as maintaining control within the context of
where risk is uncertain. Therefore, this research found out that
procedures and goals in attaining the quality of work impacts in
the improvement of operational performance within a firm. The
author is of the view that the study aids in highlighting the
benefits of strategic investments in the area of human resource
management practices aimed at improving performance. The
research uses data that were collected from a survey firm in
2006 on personal attitudes and global firm practices survey.
