Summary:
Hallmark Of Scientific Research:
RIGOR: Rigor means good theoretical base and sound methodological design.
A scientific research can be rigor when the sample size and sampling method is proper because
Rigor is the degree of exactitude and accuracy in both Theoretical and Methodological
investigation.
Also rigor helps the rest of the Hallmarks of scientific research.
TESTABILITY:
Testability is the Hallmark of Scientific Research in which we testify Hypothesis and formulate
the hypothesis by strong background theory. Every Hypothesis is not testable.
Example:
H: Relationship between employees participation in decision making and commitment .
This is called scientific Hypothesis because it is testable.
REPLACEABILITY: Replicability is the Hallmark which indicates the research on the same
hypothesis in different industries with different sample sizes but with the same design and
method.
As the hypothesis in the above Hallmark we are conducting a research on the relationship
between employees participation in decision making and commitment.
If in industry A it is conducted on by taking the sample size of 500 and In Industry B it is
conducted by taking the sample size 700.
PRECISION: Precision is the Hallmark which indicates the level of the closeness of the result to
the reality. It means it shows how close our findings are to the reality.
It is the accuracy of the results.
OBJECTIVITY: Objectivity is the Hallmark which denies the researcher’s personal opinion the
conclusion drawn should be based on facts we call it that scientific research is objective.
GENERALIZABLE: If we drew some results and findings in one organisation and followed the
same steps and applied in others organisations then we called it generalized scientific research.
PARSIMONY: Parsimony refers to simplicity in explaining the phenomena or problem.
Example: If the commitment to an organisation depends on 2 variables with 50%. The research
should be conducted on it.
