Track 2 Preparation Plan

Investigation of a stern boss or workplace bully from the employees perspective in the finance industry

Your Track 2 Preparation Plan consists of two sections. In the Section 1, you will use the feedback from your peers and your instructors to assess your development as an independent researcher and to develop a plan to improve your research skills between Tracks 2 and 3. In the second section, you will build upon your Track 2 final assessment to refine the work on your Research Plan and prepare to continue the iterative process to complete your Research Plan in Track 3.

Section 1 – Skill Development

In Track 2, each activity in the Track 2 Dissertation Research Seminar Courseroom and the Residency are tied to specific outcomes, competencies, and objectives. Over the course of your Track 2 experience, you received feedback from your instructor and your peers. Use the feedback that you received from your instructor and peers to identify competencies that you need to develop between Tracks 2 and 3. Then, in the right hand column, state the objective(s) that align with the competency that you need to develop, the action(s), the resources that you will need to develop your skills, and the date you will complete the action(s). This includes competencies that you did not meet in Track 2 and/or competencies that you arecontinuing to develop to prepare for Track 3.

Each PhD Dissertation Research Seminar Track builds upon the next Track and your skill development as an independent researcher depends upon your work to develop your research skills as defined in the Colloquia Outcomes and Competencies. Always be aware of your strengths and areas that require additional development. Utilize your time in your coursework to improve your research skills. Use as many action steps as you need to articulate your plans.  Remember, you are developing a plan that you will work on between now and the Track 3PhD Dissertation Research Seminar Course.

Section 2 – Dissertation Research Plan

A dissertation is said to have scientific merit when the study:

1. Advances the scientific knowledge base in the field and your specialization area.
2. Makes a contribution to research theory.
3. Meets certain “hallmarks” of good research methodology.

In Track 2:

You continued to build on your search of the professional literature to:

1. Develop a title for your dissertation.
2. Identify and select a research topic for your dissertation that is appropriate for research within your program and specialization.
3. Create a coherent and explicit argument illustrating how your research question(s) is derived from your research problem.
4. Describe the purpose of your study.
5. Identify and select the theoretical framework(s) for your study.
6. Select a methodology and a basic research design to respond to your research question(s).
7. Identify and select a population and to develop a sampling plan.

You developed the content of your Dissertation Research Plan required to submit to your specialization for topic endorsement and approval. In Track 3, you will continue your search of the literature and complete your Dissertation Research Plan. Your Dissertation Research Plan is the blueprint for your dissertation. Between Tracks 2 and 3, you will utilize the feedback that you received from your peers and instructor to revise the sections of your Dissertation Research Plan that you submitted as your Track 2 final assessment. Then, you will begin to develop the remaining sections of your Research Plan:

Qualitative:
