...LITERATURE SURVEY On Job Satisfaction and Leadership Berikut merupakan survei literatur tentang faktor-faktor yang menentukan kepuasan kerja. Kepuasan kerja dan motivasi dipengaruhi secara positif oleh variabel pengakuan dan penghargaan dengan dimensi sebagai berikut: peluang promosi, prosedur operasi, pekerjaan itu sendiri, pengakuan, relasi dengan rekan kerja, kepuasan terhadap kompensasi, rasa aman, supervisor, dan pengembangan karier (Danis & Usman, 2010). Kepuasan kerja juga berkorelasi positif dengan keadilan organisasional: keadilan distributif, prosedural, interaksional (Al-Zu’bi, 2010). Pada perusahaan dengan tingkat upah yang rendah dan tingkat kepuasan karyawan sedang, kontribusi faktor-faktor kepuasan kerja paling besar ditentukan oleh faktor rekan sekerja, lingkungan kerja, dan pemimpin, tetapi paling rendah oleh faktor upah dan tunjangan (Salviah, 2002). Persepsi karyawan terhadap keadilan kompensasi memiliki korelasi yang signifikan terhadap kepuasan kerjanya (Astuti, 2001) Kebalikannya dari kepuasan kerja karyawan tingkat operasional, Batthi (20010) stres ditentukan 67% oleh faktor di dalam organisasi (beban kerja, waktu kerja, kepemimpinan, kebijakan perusahaan, kondisi kerja) dan 33% faktor di luar organisasi (kondisi ekonomi, keluarga karyawan, cuaca). Selain faktor di atas, salah satu yang perlu diketahui oleh pemimpin adalah seberapa besar pengaruh kepemimpinan, gaya kepemimpinan, dan spiritualitas pemimpin terhadap kepuasan kerja.

...themes are survey methods, survey fatigue, and interpreting surveys. Data will be gathered from scholarly and unscholarly peer-reviewed journals. The articles demonstrated an application of knowledge to understand usable customer feedback. This paper will concentrate on revealing why businesses are dissatisfied with customer feedback and strategies a business can focus to improve customer feedback. We will also have a better understanding of why the customer feedback does not satisfy a company’s needs. The intent of this proposal is to show that businesses need to keep it simple when it comes to surveys. Obtaining usable customer feedback will give businesses a competitive advantage (Purdy, 2013). A business will understand that customers are overwhelmed with feedback and not answering correctly, or not doing surveys (Pecoraro, 2012). Customer feedback is the answer for keeping one business higher in a competitive business world (Jeppsen, 2010). Analysis and Opinions The literature review revealed the three themes that provided an insightful and thorough analysis of the issues that surround customer feedback. Survey methods is a structured questionnaire given to customers and designed to obtain specific information. Customers have expected to have their voices heard quicker with the social media-driven world (Bronx, 2012). Customers are satisfied sharing thoughts and opinions because technology makes it easier to access social media outlets (Bronx, 2012). Survey fatigue is...

...longitudinal element to them. Having previously decided on our research proposal, we then have to derive a suitable sample. Within our proposed region of BELB primary schools (those who are classified under the Belfast Education and Library Board) there exists 31 schools. This was then formed as our sample frame, with the intention of getting the co-operation of as many schools as possible in order to make generalisations about the wider population as a result of our findings. As previously mentioned, BELB was chosen due to logistical and time issues we anticipated to keep to a minimal, in comparison to what a wider sample population would have created, Having previously decided on a questionnaire as the tool for our proposed method of survey; we then agreed on what questions to decide based on our background knowledge of the topic. ( A copy of the questionnaire can be found at appendix ). We were influenced by elements of a positivist perspective by focusing on a ‘closed-question’ style questionnaire. The advantages of this will be that it should allow for us to easily quantify our findings and as a result create Visual aids to help give increased understanding of our findings about the phenomena of the...

...Online Evaluations: The Risks, Benefits, and FSU Traditionally, universities have taken stock of their faculty and class offerings by means of paper evaluations, typically administered during class towards the end of the term. This practice began in the 1920s and has been the standard since (Mau & Opengart 2012). However, during the last fifteen years universities have increasingly abandoned paper forms in favor of an online system, in which students complete course and faculty evaluations through a website, out of class and usually on their own time. The adoption rate among schools rose from 2% in 2000 to 33% in 2005, with the most common reasons cited being the cost and time savings (Guder & Malliaris 2013). Despite these potential benefits, many professors fear repercussions in the form of lowered response rates and biased scores. This paper aims to examine these concerns and also propose how a small school such as Fitchburg State University can implement online evaluations. First, I would like to briefly discuss why a school would want to switch to online evaluations. There are three primary reasons: online evaluations reduce paper costs (and postage for distance learning courses), which in turn is a way to “go green,” or be more environmentally friendly; online evaluations also saves many hundreds of hours across the various staff that have to prepare, print, scan, and analyze paper-based evaluations; and lastly, online evaluations do not take up valuable class...

...these will be further examined in this paper. Sampling Plan According to Cooper and Schindler (2014), the sampling plan includes five questions. These questions include (p. 344): * What is the target population? * What are the parameters of interest? * What is the sampling frame? * What is the appropriate sampling method? * What size sample is needed? Once you have answered all these questions, you can determine the appropriate sampling design for your study. Penton Media has created their sampling plan from these questions. The target population for Penton Media’s study is the people who read their business magazines. Their subscribers consist of 1.7 mission people in the US, so they originally tested out the survey via phone with a small selection of subscribers. They then...

... Quantitative research is a more logical approach which provides a measure of what people think from a statistical and numerical point of view. For example, if you wanted to know how many of the customers like the new car or our new customer service and how strongly (on a scale) they support it, then this will provide the company with a numerical statistic. Quantitative research can gather a large amount of data that can be easily organized and conveyed into reports for analysis. How to do it Quantitative research uses methods such as questionnaires and surveys with set questions and answers that respondents tick from a predefined selection. Answers can be measured in strengths of feeling such as ‘strongly agree’ ‘disagree’ or numbers such as scales out of 10. This form of research will help Aston Martin to gather fair opinions about their products and services. Quantitative research — including surveys and customer questionnaires — can help ASTON MARTIN to improve their products and services by enabling them to make informed decisions * More reliable and objective * Can use statistics to generate a finding * Tests theories and hypothesis...

Maximise your chances of success The aim of questionnaire design is to a) get as many responses as you can that are b) usable and accurate. To maximise your response rate: • Give your questionnaire a short and meaningful title • Keep the questionnaire as short and succinct as possible • Offer incentives for responding if appropriate • Be creative – use different colours and images to make it attractive • Make it convenient – enclose a Stamped Address Envelope if appropriate. Who should you ask? It may not be possible to survey every person who could provide a useful response to your questionnaire. In such cases, you will need to choose a sample from your population to survey....

...RES/351 Business Research Starbucks, Bank One & Visa Launch Starbucks Card 1. What types of research were done at each stage? Discuss the strengths of each different type given the stage of the project. Starbucks used the scientific method which consists of three different studies based on product functionality, product optimization, and brand tracking. The scientific method used to gather information about the target markets that they had or trying to approach. The product functionality study was carried out at the concept testing stage of the research, through the use of an online survey. The purpose was to understand which of the two credit card concepts customers preferred of the dual-function or two separate cards. This would determine if the product would or would not function as Starbucks desired, the findings of this study would be pertinent information to assist Starbucks and its affiliates in determining the strengths and/or weaknesses of the study’s design. The study of product optimization was used to see the concept stages of research. Starbucks used this study to see if certain features from the dual action card would determine if customer’s decision to apply for a credit card. The brand tracking was used to measure the return on the marketing investments based on the feedback after they launched the card. 2. Build the management-research question hierarchy for this project. The first question Starbucks had to answer was whether or...

...Examine the problems some sociologist find with using postal questionnaires in their research. (20) There are many problems that some sociologist find when using postal questionnaires. Postal questionnaires are sent to homes and business in certain areas, postal questionnaire mainly use closed questions as positives use this method due to the fact, that they are able to interpret the data in to numerical form such as graphs. Positives use quantitative data because they believed that society is moulded by social factors and therefore can be measured using the same method as the natural science. One of the many problems of a postal questionnaire is that they take a lot more time and money then a normal questionnaire; this is due to the fact that the researcher has to pay for self addressing envelope. This appeals to the participant as they are more likely to fill out the questionnaire in as they can send it off without having to spend money. If the research didn’t use as self addressing envelope then the participant is less likely to fill in the questionnaire, as they will have to send it back to the researcher themselves. Another problem of a postal questionnaire is that due to the fact the researcher won’t be present handing the participant the questionnaire. This can lead to the participant not feeling pressured to complete the questionnaire and therefore they might not complete it, or they might just discard it as they don’t have the time to fill it in. Due to this the...

Presenting the Quality Improvements (QI) tools needed to accomplish the goal and describe the information obtained from it. In addition, establish how are these tools helpful for the health care organizations. Areas of Potential Improvements for the Organization The areas to be considered are; on- call Practices, preoperative personnel are assigned designated times, in addition to their regular work hours, to be available on an “on-call” basis for unplanned , urgent, emergent procedures or to provide care for patients whose procedure run past schedule time periods. Call hours may vary from four hours or more. Actual hours worked during the call period are unpredictable and can range from 30 minutes to the entire length of the call period. A large body of research exists about fatigue and sleep deprivation and their effect on performance. Research also suggest that work periods of 12 hours or more are associated with higher probability of making an error and increase in risk-taking behaviors. The Time-Out: While technologies and other innovations have advanced health care, these advancements have also led to failures in the delivery...

...Sociological Research Skills Name of Method Research Methods Questionnaires Brief Outline of Method A questionnaire is a list of written questions that can be completed in one of two basic ways Firstly, respondents could be asked to complete the questionnaire with the researcher not present. This is a postal questionnaire and (loosely) refers to any questionnaire that a respondent completes without the aid of the researcher. Secondly, respondents could be asked to complete the questionnaire by verbally responding to questions in the presence of the researcher. This variation is called a structured interview. Although the two variations are similar (a postal questionnaire and a structured interview could contain exactly the same questions), the difference between them is important. If, for example, we are concerned with protecting the respondent’s anonymity then it might be more appropriate to use a postal questionnaire than a structured interview. Questionnaires are restricted to two basic types of question: Closed-ended (or “closed question”) is a question for which a researcher provides a suitable list of responses (e.g. Yes / No). This produces mainly quantitative data. Open-ended (or “open question”) is a question where the researcher doesn’t provide the respondent with a set answer from which to choose. Rather, the respondent is asked to answer "in their own words". This produces mainly qualitative data. Strengths / Uses of Method Weaknesses / Limitations of Method...
