- 3. What Is Theoretical Framework? OR
- 4. Theoretical Framework The theoretical framework is the structure that can hold a theory of a research study. The theoretical framework describes the theory that explains why the research problem under study exists.
- 5. Purposes of Theoretical Framework Testable hypotheses can be developed. To establish connections between observations and facts. To make research findings meaningful and generalizable. Identifying and defining research problems It explains the relationship between dependent and independent variables. To encourage development of a theory which is practicable. To give old data new interpretations and new meanings. TF allows to understand that what a variable means and what different types of variables exist .
- 7. Variables A simple definition of Variable is something that varies. A variable is an object, event, idea, feeling, time period, or any other type of category you are trying to measure Examples Gender, Color , Country ,Weight, Time, Height, etc
- 8. What Are Different Types OF Variables There are some types of Variables: Independent Variables Dependent Variables Moderating Variables Mediating Variables
- 9. Independent Variable Independent variable: a variable whose variation does not depend on that of another. OR It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables. Examples: if you open a faucet the quantity of water Flowing changes in response--you observe that the water Flow increases.
- 10. Dependent Variables It is something that depends on other factors. It depends on independent variable. Example:
- 11. Moderating Variable Moderating variable is a variable, the presence of which, modifies the original relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. e-g, 6/1/2016 11 Organizational Effectiveness Workforce Diversity Independent Variable Dependent Variable Managerial Expertise Moderating Variable
- 12. Mediating Variable it explains the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. The process of complete mediation is defined as the complete intervention caused by the mediator variable.. e-g, 6/1/2016 12 Organizational Effectiveness Workforce Diversity Independent Variable Intervening Variable Dependent Variable Creative Synergy
