Based on the
situation given, I would further refine the study topic to “a study on the
positive effects of a 5 day intervention program conducted in comparison with 5
one day intervention programs for business employees conducted either in a residential
center or hotel setting”.
I think for me,
the research methodology I would use will be questionnaire surveys using Likert
scale as the mode of measurement. With the domains from Team Development
Inventory(TDI), I will create a number of questions that can quantify the
various domains of the TDI. The domains of the TDI range from participation,
collaboration, flexibility, sensitivity, risk taking, commitment, facilitation and
openness. A number of questions will be a dedicated at measuring each single
domain as to find out the value per subject, this will more leaning towards a
quantitative approach on this topic. The domain on the whether the hotel or
residential center will be put into the questionnaire so as to be able to answer
that research aspect.
The reliability of
this research though able to be replicated in similar outdoor context but it
may be on a notion that the results is influenced by peoples definition and
view of each question which in return may influence the results of each domain.
The validity wise,
to reduce the threats, it would be that the both programs have the same
activities in coherence with the same objectives set out with different in the timeline
which is a 5 days straight program versus a 5 one day program. Another would
the participants are from one organization but into mixed groups of people,
this would good if these people don’t come from the same department so as to
maintain and reduce influence of peers towards the program.
A few
demographic information I would put in would be the gender, position in organization
and department. This would aid in reducing threats to the external validity as
the general domains will able the methodology to be used with other organizations
in regards to this study.
