Promoting Positive Social Change Quantitative Res

The business environment today is constantly changing with
changing demands of employees especially the entry level position employees
that are costly demanding for more salaries/wages and improved services (Atmojo,
2015). Many organizations sometimes fail to recognize the signs that are
associated to low motivation as a result of unfilled demands due to lack of
transformational leadership within the organizational framework. As such the
new hires accounts for the highest employee turnover rates within most
organizations. The general business problem is organization have a high
turnover rate for entry-level employees that are a misguided by leadership. The
high turnover rates are costly to the organization since it hurts productivity,
as it is difficult to maintain the same level of productivity when the new
employees are constantly leaving the organization (Choi et al., 2016). The
specific business problem is the lack of the leadership strategies to educate
and retain entry-level employees.

Ethics and
Quantitative Business Research

When conducting a DBA doctoral research study, independent
scholars are required to be as clear as possible in reporting the procedures
used to obtain results. Being honest in accounting for their work is essential
for researchers. The question arises as to what constitutes unethical behavior
when conducting quantitative research. A major area of concern is fabrication
of data or results and can lead to danger for others if, for example, critical
business decisions are made on the basis of false findings.

decision making on the practice of quantitative business research. In your

quantitative findings. Describe the negative impact of using inappropriate measurements, including supportive examples. Explain

of quantitative research. Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two
