Developing Questionnaire for Research

Questionnaire is tool used to collect data from sample in research. Developing questionnaire for research is not an art but a science. Because it require careful analysis of each item that it includes in order to make sure whether it measures what it is intended to measure or not. It should be valid and reliable. Validity is the accuracy of items while reliability is the consistency. There can be following situations in your research regarding developing questionnaire for research:

Developing Your Own Questionnaire

Developing your own questionnaire itself is a complete research and follows a rigorous data collection and analysis method. It is based of qualitative research. You have to discover the items that make a variable of your interest by collecting data from respondents. You use different statistical techniques such principle component analysis, exploratory factor analysis or other softwares that help you in your research of developing research questionnaire for research. The problem i have noticed with students is that they are not well of of the significance of this process. Immature research students immediately propose that they will develop the measurement tool by themselves neglecting the requirement of the tool being valid and reliable.

Using Existing Measures for Questionnaire 

When your using existing measure or already developed measurement items, you are either adapting or adopting the measures. Adapting means, making changes to the existing questions by yourself while adopting means adopting the questions as they are used by the researcher already. In all quantitative research it is appropriate to adapt or adopt the instrument keeping all the ethical constraints intact for developing questionnaire for research.

I hope its helpful for you. Provide your suggestions and feedback on this. Cheers!  

Structure & Content of Literature Review

In my previous post on literature review i gave you a tips on how can you conduct literature review for your study. In current post, i am sharing with you the structure & content of literature review. There are certain key points that can help you organizing the literature in effective manner.

Literature review should be structured in a way that should be giving clear picture of the previous researches in the area of your interest and variable you may be using. Begin your literature review with the current trends in your area of interest and particular sector you are studying about for effective Structure & Content of Literature Review. Try possibly mentioning the relevant facts and figures which clearly depict the current situation of the area of your interest. Then relate this situation to the variables of interest. For example your research is about customer satisfaction and brand trust in telecom sector, then you will explain its trend worldwide and particular to you country relating all information to your variables of interest (such as customer satisfaction and trust).

Then start explaining variables of your study one by one. For instance, customer satisfaction and brand trust, in our example, are the variables you are interested in researching about. Explain customer satisfaction theoretically  conceptually and operationally referring to authentic literature. Similarly explain brand trust in the same context. Next comes the time to discuss the empirical literature on relationship between variables of interest and in the end you discuss the gaps identified in the literature raising questions that your research will answer. Eventually you will explain that what you want to do in your research and this would be compete Structure & Content of Literature Review for your study.

I hope it will be a help for you. Kindly provide your feedback. Cheers !
