This week, you continue to analyze your work motivation topic by developing a problem statement, purpose statement, research questions, and hypotheses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">A problem statement defines, drives, and guides your research. In a problem statement, you clearly identify the problem you propose to solve or the gap in the current literature your research addresses. A problem statement convinces others that the problem you propose to solve is relevant, significant, and important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">In a purpose statement, you answer the question: What is the purpose of your research? To craft a clear and concise purpose statement, it is often recommended you start with the following unfinished sentence: The purpose of this study is to. . . . &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">In addition to preparing a problem statement and purpose statement, you must formulate a set of research questions, generate hypotheses, and identify independent and dependent variables.
