transformational leadership style and burnout, compassion fatigue, and turnover
among social workers. What I am attempting to find out is if certain leadership
styles are more effective in terms of motivating workers, the role
transformational leadership play in the lives of social workers as well as the
clients served or does leadership style matter at all. I am stuck on
determining the research methodology, sampling plan as well as data
collection/analysis plan. Any help would be appreciated.
My questions are:
What would be considered the independent and dependent variables? Why?
What null and alternative hypothesis should be tested in relation to each?
A non-experimental correlational approach will be utilized. What kind of sample makes sense (purposive, snowball, convenience)? Why?
How does one determine how large the sample size needs to be? Inclusion & Exclusion?
Which variables are measured? Burnout?
What would be some ethical challenges to considered in sampling, collection & analysis?
