Topic: How to Reduce Employee Turn Over Rates
Complete and submit Part 1 Research Report. Please ensure that your research study is feasible in the 3 weeks remaining in the course! A simple work well-done is preferred over a great idea that is too complex to complete.
Ensure the paper is in APA format and be sure to review the rubric in Canvas. Your literature review will help write your introduction and theoretical framework, and a review of chapters 3, 5 & 6 will also be helpful here. Include a Title Page, References, and the following headings in the Table of Contents.
1. Introduction
2. Problem Statement
3. Research Objective(s)
4. Research Question (s)
5. The scope of the study
6. Research Method
7. Theoretical Framework and hypotheses (Review chapter 5)
TIP: APA does NOT USE the heading Introduction in the body of the report!
