Sure! Here are some mixed methods research objectives and corresponding research questions. For this example, let’s assume the research topic is "The Impact of Remote Work on Employee Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic."
Research Objectives:
- To assess the qualitative experiences of employees regarding remote work and its effects on their overall well-being.
- To quantify the relationship between remote work practices and various dimensions of employee well-being, such as mental health, work-life balance, and job satisfaction.
- To explore the differences in remote work experiences and well-being outcomes across different demographic groups such as age, gender, and job role.
- To identify effective remote work practices that promote employee well-being based on employee testimonials and quantitative data.
- To evaluate how organizational support systems during remote work periods influence employee well-being and engagement.
Research Questions:
- What are the key themes and narratives that emerge from qualitative interviews with employees about their remote work experiences and well-being?
- How do employees' self-reported well-being levels (e.g., mental health, work-life balance, job satisfaction) differ between those who work remotely full-time and those with hybrid or in-office arrangements?
- Are there significant differences in the well-being outcomes of remote work among various demographic groups (e.g., by age, gender, or job role)?
- What remote work practices have employees identified as most effective for enhancing their well-being, and how do these practices correlate with quantitative measures of well-being?
- How does the level of organizational support (measured through surveys) relate to employee well-being in the context of remote work during the pandemic?
These objectives and questions effectively combine qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of remote work’s impact on employee well-being.
