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:

  1. To assess the qualitative experiences of employees regarding remote work and its effects on their overall well-being.
  2. 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.
  3. To explore the differences in remote work experiences and well-being outcomes across different demographic groups such as age, gender, and job role.
  4. To identify effective remote work practices that promote employee well-being based on employee testimonials and quantitative data.
  5. To evaluate how organizational support systems during remote work periods influence employee well-being and engagement.

Research Questions:

  1. What are the key themes and narratives that emerge from qualitative interviews with employees about their remote work experiences and well-being?
  2. 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?
  3. Are there significant differences in the well-being outcomes of remote work among various demographic groups (e.g., by age, gender, or job role)?
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
