hello moderators, i have a question about submission files.
OBU requires to submit as separated files. I suppose this is for word count control. The problem is that can i keep my RAP with appendices and references as well as separately submit my appendices and references? Or i have to cut down appendices and references sections in my RAP.
Thank you so much for your time and have a great day!Thanks so much for your helpful advice, GillianM.
I do apologise for the vagueness of my terrible English in part B. What i mean is when i use five options in multiple choice question, is it really useful to analyse result? i.e. i found it’s difficult if people tend to choose middle point (Neutral), i haven’t got the idea yet? why don’t we choose 4 options( i.e. 1=strongly dissatisfied, 2=dissatisfied, 3=satisfied, 4=strongly satisfied)?. In my point of view, this type of question will eliminate the “neutral” point( the option people usually choose because it is easy and less time-wasting). Therefore, it seems explicit for analysing and making recommendation later on.
Please help me clarify it because i get stuck in this confusion and can not start gathering data.Hello OBU teams,
I am newbie from Vietnam and going to register and submit topic 6 for the Nov period. The theories i will probably use is Maslow, Herzberg, Vroom and Adam in Analysing and Evaluating findings.
First of all, I have already read almost anything of topic 6 and a little bit of tips provided in OBU forum. I really appreciate your hard work, dedication and devotion towards the success of OBU students, especially @trephena and other moderators.
Second, I’ve currently encountered some following problems in planning stage:
1. As regards using Likert scale in designing questionnaires, as i do some search on the internet, i still don’t see any relevant point to my analysis afterwards if people tend to choose neutral option ( sorry for my stupidity 🙁 ).
2. The structure I am going to use for the survey :
A.General info (age,gender, …) : i found this somehow connected to the analysis. My country just reached the lower part of the middle-income developing countries a couple of years ago, there’s no surprise if almost of motivational factors could be explain by demographic analysis.
B. Motivational Factors : A Ranking Question to identify the most important motivation factor and a table comprises score-based questions ( Do not know whether Likert or scores exclude average value?) that list factors related to 4 motivational theories in order to identify the obstacles affect employees’ performance, motivational factors and motivation patterns of the organisation as well.
Is the survey fine if i structure it like that? Do i need to modify or adjust something?
3. In “Analysis your findings” part, if i decide to include General Info Analysis, could i use charts and tables alone to save some words for the main analysis using 4 theories or couple of lines should be given as to illustrating the charts. When analyse the results, is it ok if i simply compare and explain the commons and disparities by using one by one theory under different sub-sections.
4. The industry norms and direct competitor info (salary, annual salary increase rate, net profit margin, labor turnover, etc.) should be take into account as to the evaluating of human resources policy. I found such information really difficult to obtain.
5. Regards to Citation, I’ve just skimmed through @trephena articles and i wonder if we use Kaplan or BPP textbook, we simply refer to those or we need to look for the original sources ( almost original articles charge a fee which is not affordable to me)?
Finally, I know your time is precious and any advice from you would be extremely value to me. Thank you so much again and wish you all the best.I think the logic here is that Standard profit on actual sales of 540000 comes up after reducing budgeted sales volume to actual sales volume. therefore, actual sales can be :
Actual volume is 10800 ( 540000 / 50 (std profit)) and actual sales can be calculated :
10800*150(std selling price) = 1,620,000 ( standard sales on actual sales volume ) and add 20000 (F) sales price variance = 1,640,000.
