• loss of motivation
• perfectionism
• difficulty concentrating

CRP - Research Type - Grounded Theory

Grounded Theory

• It involves the collection of data and the analysis of data.
• The grounded means analysis and development of theories that happen after the person has collected the data
• It is a method that is generally used that can be applied to many areas of research

In order to start this grounded theory, the person should:

1. Identify the interest of the area
2. Avoid the preconceived theories and only focus on the data
3. Use theoretical sensitivity which is an awareness of subtle messages and the meanings of the data

Most commonly uses the data collection methods for:

1. Interview with open-ended questions
2. Observation (fieldwork) or focus groups
3. Study of artifacts and texts

Features of grounded theory:

1. The collection of data and analysis occur simultaneously
2. The categories and analytical codes are developed from the data. The pre-existing conceptualisations not to be used which are known as the theoretical sensitivity. 
3. Theoretical sampling is used to refine the categories
4. Abstract categories constructed inductively
5. Social processes discovered in the data
6. Analytical memos are used between the coding and writing
7. The categories integrated into a theoretical framework

The aim of this grounded theory is to discover problems in the given business environment and it is also how the parties handling the problems. It is also aiming to formulate, test and reformulate prepositions until the theory is developed.

CRP - Research Objectives

Types of research objectives:

General objectives

• Provide a detailed view of the aims of the study
• Provide a general overview of the study

Specific objectives

• Define the main aim of the study
• Is the essence of the study 
• Give the main idea because they provide focus to the study

Types of qualities of research objectives

1. Describe the variable that is measure by the study
2. Stated in a logical sequence
3. Clear 
4. Specific
5. Measurable
6. Attainable
7. Realistic
8. Time-bound

CRP - Research Objectives and Proposal

The diagram above is the example of research proposal, it must include the due date of the project or a research and the title. The body of the research proposal must be divided according to the task that need to be done. Include introduction of the research, methods of research, the result and discussion, and also the presentation. 

The objectives are the listing down the objectives of the research and to achieve the objectives
