1.Applied research
Is to solve a current problem faced by the
manager in the work setting,demanding a timely
solution.
2.Basic research (fundamental, pure)
Is to generate a body of knowledge by trying to
comprehend how certain problems that occur in
organizations can be solved.
The findings of such research contribute to the
building of knowledge in the various functional
areas of business.

Theoretical framework is the foundation on which the entire research
project is based.It is logically developed,described,and elaborated
network of associations among the variables relevant to the problem
situation.
A hypothesis is a tentative statement that proposes a possible
explanation to some phenomenon or event. A useful hypothesis is a
statement which may include a prediction. A hypotheses
should not be confused with a theory.
Data analysis: the data gathered are statistically analyzed to see if the
hypotheses that were generated have been supported.
Measurement is the process observing and recording the observations
that are collected as part of a research effort.
Deduction is the process of arriving at conclusions by interpreting the
meaning of the data analysis results.

Purpose of the study:
Exploratory study
Is undertaken when no information is available on how similar
problems or research issues have been solved in the past
Descriptive study
Is to able to describe the characteristics of the variables of
interest in a situation.
Hypotheses testing
Is undertaken to explain the variance in the dependent variable
or to predict organizational outcomes.
