RESEARCH
DESIGN
M
SLIDESMANIA.
11
Research design is the framework of research methods and
techniques chosen by a researcher. The design allows
researchers to hone in on research methods that are suitable
for the subject matter and set up their studies for success.
12
The type of research problem an
organization is facing will determine
the research design and not vice-versa.
The design phase of a study determines
which tools to use and how they are
used.

13
An impactful research design usually creates a minimum bias
in data and increases trust in the accuracy of collected data.
A design that produces the least margin of error in
experimental research is generally considered the desired
outcome. The essential elements of the research design are:
1. Accurate purpose statement
2. Techniques to be implemented for collecting and
analyzing research
3. The method applied for analyzing collected details
4. Type of research methodology
5. Probable objections for research
6. Settings for the research study
7. Timeline
8. Measurement of analysis

Proper research design sets your study up for
success. Successful research studies provide
insights that are accurate and unbiased. You’ll
need to create a survey that meets all of the main
characteristics of a design. There are four key
characteristics of research design:
M

15
Neutrality
When you set up your study, you may have to make assumptions about
the data you expect to collect. The results projected in the research design
should be free from bias and neutral. Understand opinions about the final
evaluated scores and conclusions from multiple individuals and consider
those who agree with the derived results.
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
16
Reliability
With regularly conducted research, the researcher involved expects
similar results every time. Your design should indicate how to form
research questions to ensure the standard of results. You’ll only be able to
reach the expected results if your design is reliable.
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
17
Validity
There are multiple measuring tools available. However, the only correct
measuring tools are those which help a researcher in gauging results
according to the objective of the research. The questionnaire developed
from this design will then be valid.
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
18
Generalization
The outcome of your design should apply to a population and not just a
restricted sample. A generalized design implies that your survey can be
conducted on any part of a population with similar accuracy.
The above factors affect the way respondents answer the research
questions and so all the above characteristics should be balanced in a good
design.
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
19
A researcher must have a clear
understanding of the various types of
research design to select which model to
implement for a study. Like research itself,
the design of your study can be broadly
classified into quantitative and qualitative.
M

20
Qualitative research design:
Qualitative research determines relationships between collected data and
observations based on mathematical calculations. Theories related to a
naturally existing phenomenon can be proved or disproved using
statistical methods. Researchers rely on qualitative research design
methods that conclude “why” a particular theory exists along with “what”
respondents have to say about it.
M

21
Quantitative research design:
Quantitative research is for cases where statistical conclusions to collect
actionable insights are essential. Numbers provide a better perspective to
make critical business decisions. Quantitative research design methods are
necessary for the growth of any organization. Insights drawn from hard
numerical data and analysis prove to be highly effective when making
decisions related to the future of the business.
You can further break down the types of research design into five
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
categories:
22
1. Descriptive Research Design
:In a descriptive design, a researcher is solely interested in describing the
situation or case under their research study. It is a theory-based design
method that is created by gathering, analyzing, and presenting collected
data. This allows a researcher to provide insights into the why and how of
research. Descriptive design helps others better understand the need for
the research. If the problem statement is not clear, you can conduct
exploratory research.
M

23
2. Experimental Research Design
:Experimental research design establishes a relationship between the cause and effect of
a situation. It is a causal design where one observes the impact caused by the
independent variable on the dependent variable. For example, one monitors the
influence of an independent variable such as a price on a dependent variable such as
customer satisfaction or brand loyalty. It is a highly practical research design method as
it contributes to solving a problem at hand. The independent variables are manipulated
to monitor the change it has on the dependent variable. It is often used in social
sciences to observe human behavior by analyzing two groups. Researchers can have

participants change their actions and study how the people around them react to gain a
better understanding of social psychology.
24
3. Correlational Research Design
:Correlational research is a non-experimental research design technique that helps
researchers establish a relationship between two closely connected variables. This type
of research requires two different groups. There is no assumption while evaluating a
relationship between two different variables, and statistical analysis techniques
calculate the relationship between them.
A correlation coefficient determines the correlation between two variables, whose value
ranges between -1 and +1. If the correlation coefficient is towards +1, it indicates a
positive relationship between the variables and -1 means a negative relationship

4. Diagnostic Research Design
In diagnostic design, the researcher is looking to evaluate the underlying cause of a
specific topic or phenomenon. This method helps one learn more about the factors that
create troublesome situations.
26
5. Explanatory Research Design
Explanatory design uses a researcher’s ideas and thoughts on a
subject to further explore their theories. The research explains
unexplored aspects of a subject and details about what, how, and
why of research questions.

Data-collecting Instruments
Data collection is an important step in the research process. The instrument you choose to
collect the data will depend on the type of data you plan on collecting (qualitative or
quantitative) and how you plan to collect it.
• Questionnaires
• Interviews
• Observations
• Archival documents and government sources
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
• Laboratory experiments
• Quasi-experiment
• Scales (measuring and weighing tapes)
28
Questionnaires
The questionnaire is a tool designed for the collection of quantitative
data and is widely used in construction research as it is a good
research instrument for collecting standardized data and making
generalizations. Questionnaires can provide quick responses but
adequate care must be taken when developing questionnaires, to
ensure you don’t influence the response you receive. The design of
your questionnaire should reflect your research aims and objectives.

Interviews
Interviews are a tool mainly for the collection of qualitative data and
are popular as a data-collection tool because of their flexibility.

Interviews
There are different types of interview:
• Telephone surveys
The processes under observation are normal and not contrived. They can
range from individual cases to groups and whole communities. They
provide highly detailed information about natural processes. The data
collection is laborious and time-consuming and may have to be repeated to

34
Observation
The level of observer participation can vary from wholly participant to a
non-participant. The non-participant observer has limited interaction with
the people being observed.
Observers can collect data through field notes, video, or audio recording,
which can be analyzed using qualitative analytical tools. If you code your
observations to exact numerical data, it can be analyzed using a quantitative
approach.
M
SLIDESMANIA.CO
35
Observation
One of the main benefits of using wholly or partial participant observation
is that the level of immersion and prolonged involvement with participants
can lead to a good rapport, thereby encouraging participants to speak up
freely. This helps with the rich details of the collected data.
