Methodology involves a brief

description of the research design to be

used including the justification why it is

the best method for the study This

chapter covers a comprehensive

description of Methodology which

includes research design research

locals samples and sampling

techniques used in the study as well as

instrumentation research procedure

and complete statistical analysis of the

data gathered

bull Research design refers to a scheme or plan of how the research will be conducted (Menheim et al 1977) Hence the quality of research output depends largely upon the research design or method used in the study

bull Any researcher should therefore exercise a great level of judgement in selecting the appropriate and effective method of research in order to attain the main and specific objectives of the study

Any method or a combination

of the following research designs

could be utilized depending on its

appropriateness to the study to be

conducted

Descriptive Design

Survey

Content Analysis

Case Study

Feasibility Study

Descriptive Method

Descriptive Method is a general procedure

employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)

Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem

A Survey is used when the

objectives of the study is to see a

general or specific picture of the

population under investigation in

terms of their social and economic

characteristics opinions and their

knowledge about or behaviour

towards a certain phenomenon

covering either relatively large

population under investigation called

ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope

which covers only a portion of

population under study called

ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)

Population Rank 12

of World Pop 138

The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year

The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes

used in survey to describe the established

standards through the study of what is

prevalent and made to ascertain the normal

or typical practice or condition which is

compared to local results with a state or

national norm It is an investigation which

ascertains the facts concerning the present

status (Good 1973)

Normative survey

Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe term NORMATIVE is sometimes used because surveys are frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice or to compare local test results with a state or national normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

The Real Estate In Hongkong

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research

describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to

this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in

identifying its strengths and limitations

Philippines Unsurprisingly for a country that

is made up of many islands the Philippines

contains a diverse range of ethnic groups The

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Introducing participatory planning practices with

local governments A Philippines case study

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Introducing participatory planning

practices with local governments A

Philippines case study Demetrio Imperial

Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability

As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

of a proposed undertaking on the establishment of

either a certain institution an infrastructure or a

business venture This study involves an extensive

and systematic analysis of all factors affecting the

possibility of success of a proposed project

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Descriptive Method

Descriptive Method is a general procedure

employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)

Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem

A Survey is used when the

objectives of the study is to see a

general or specific picture of the

population under investigation in

terms of their social and economic

characteristics opinions and their

knowledge about or behaviour

towards a certain phenomenon

covering either relatively large

population under investigation called

ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope

which covers only a portion of

population under study called

ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)

Population Rank 12

The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year

The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

identifying its strengths and limitations

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

of the following research designs

could be utilized depending on its

appropriateness to the study to be

conducted

Descriptive Method

Descriptive Method is a general procedure

employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)

Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem

A Survey is used when the

objectives of the study is to see a

general or specific picture of the

population under investigation in

terms of their social and economic

characteristics opinions and their

knowledge about or behaviour

towards a certain phenomenon

covering either relatively large

population under investigation called

ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope

which covers only a portion of

population under study called

ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)

Population Rank 12

of World Pop 138

The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year

The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes

used in survey to describe the established

standards through the study of what is

prevalent and made to ascertain the normal

or typical practice or condition which is

compared to local results with a state or

national norm It is an investigation which

ascertains the facts concerning the present

status (Good 1973)

Normative survey

Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe term NORMATIVE is sometimes used because surveys are frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice or to compare local test results with a state or national normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

The Real Estate In Hongkong

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research

describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to

this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in

identifying its strengths and limitations

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Introducing participatory planning practices with

local governments A Philippines case study

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability

As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Descriptive Method

Descriptive Method is a general procedure

employed in studies that have for their chief purpose the description of phenomena (Good 1973)

Travers (1978) refers this to a design which describes the nature of a situation as it exist at a time of the study and explores the course of a particular phenomenon This method is used to discover facts on which professional judgement could be based It involves the description recording analysis and interpretation of what it is It is used in many fields of investigation due to its applicability to solve different kinds of problem

A Survey is used when the

objectives of the study is to see a

general or specific picture of the

population under investigation in

terms of their social and economic

characteristics opinions and their

knowledge about or behaviour

towards a certain phenomenon

covering either relatively large

population under investigation called

ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope

which covers only a portion of

population under study called

ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)

Population Rank 12

of World Pop 138

The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year

The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes

used in survey to describe the established

standards through the study of what is

prevalent and made to ascertain the normal

or typical practice or condition which is

compared to local results with a state or

national norm It is an investigation which

ascertains the facts concerning the present

status (Good 1973)

Normative survey

Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe term NORMATIVE is sometimes used because surveys are frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice or to compare local test results with a state or national normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

The Real Estate In Hongkong

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research

describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to

this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in

identifying its strengths and limitations

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

A Survey is used when the

objectives of the study is to see a

general or specific picture of the

population under investigation in

terms of their social and economic

characteristics opinions and their

knowledge about or behaviour

towards a certain phenomenon

covering either relatively large

population under investigation called

ldquocensusrdquo or with a limited scope

which covers only a portion of

population under study called

ldquosample surveyrdquo (Ardoles 1992)

Population Rank 12

of World Pop 138

The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years In 2014 it is the 12th most populated country in the world between Mexico and Ethiopia and continues to grow at a rate of 189 per year

The data provided by the Philippine National Statistics Office Projecting this data forward using the 189 growth rate gives us a 2013 population of 98734798 and 2014 population of 100617630 in The Philippines Based on the 2010 census results the population increased nearly 16 million from the 2000 census results The growth rate has slowed slightly from the previous census down to 189 from 234 The next census in the Philippines is scheduled for 2015

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes

used in survey to describe the established

standards through the study of what is

prevalent and made to ascertain the normal

or typical practice or condition which is

compared to local results with a state or

national norm It is an investigation which

ascertains the facts concerning the present

status (Good 1973)

Normative survey

Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe term NORMATIVE is sometimes used because surveys are frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice or to compare local test results with a state or national normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research

describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to

this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in

identifying its strengths and limitations

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Introducing participatory planning practices with

local governments A Philippines case study

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Introducing participatory planning

practices with local governments A

Philippines case study Demetrio Imperial

Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability

As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

Decentralizing government in the

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

The term ldquonormativerdquo is sometimes

used in survey to describe the established

standards through the study of what is

prevalent and made to ascertain the normal

or typical practice or condition which is

compared to local results with a state or

national norm It is an investigation which

ascertains the facts concerning the present

status (Good 1973)

Normative survey

Good and Scates (1972) stressed that ldquothe term NORMATIVE is sometimes used because surveys are frequently made to ascertain the normal or typical condition for practice or to compare local test results with a state or national normrdquo In the descriptive-normative surveys the resultsfindings of the study should be compared with the norm

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Introducing participatory planning practices with

local governments A Philippines case study

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

productivity than working conditions

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

workers pay depended on the performance of the

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

The Real Estate In Hongkong

This study utilized the descriptive method of research As widely accepted

the descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study that involves

adequate and accurate interpretation of findings Descriptive research

describes a certain present condition Relatively the method is appropriate to

this study since it aims to describe the present condition of technical analysis

as it is used in the stock market The technique that was used under

descriptive method is the normative survey approach and evaluation which

is commonly used to explore opinions according to respondents that can

represent a whole population The survey is appropriate in this study

because it enables the researcher in formulation of generalizations

Specifically two types of direct-data survey are included in this study These

are questionnaire survey and interviewsInterviews with researchers venture

capital practitioners and other colleagues in the academy were conducted to

provide further insight about the results of the survey The direct-data type of

survey is a reliable source of first-hand information because the researcher

directly interacts with the participants The questionnaire survey respondents

were given ample time to assess the challenges facing the real estate in

HK Their own experiences with real estate in practice are necessary in

identifying its strengths and limitations

Mckee and Robertson (1975) define case study as a comprehensive and extensive examination of a particular individual group or situation in a given period of time In using this type of descriptive method the researcher should always practice fairness and objectivity in analyzing and presenting the findings of the study HeShe should act as an observer-participant of the case on hand HeShe also observes actions and records the significant events based on hisher own observations An example of this study is ldquoA Case Study of Casual Employment in the Philippine Government the Ministry of Public Works and Highwaysrdquo (Teodosio 1979)

This is used when an extensively

thorough and comprehensive study of a

particular individual group or institution or

situation is involved over a period of time It

is a comprehensive study of a person group

or community (Young 1966)

Introducing participatory planning practices with

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

This descriptive method is used to find the viability

of a proposed undertaking on the establishment of

either a certain institution an infrastructure or a

business venture This study involves an extensive

and systematic analysis of all factors affecting the

possibility of success of a proposed project

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

brightness of the light was increased and

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

that factors other than light were also

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Introducing participatory planning practices with

local governments A Philippines case study

Demetrio Imperial Jr Philippines

The bottom-up dialogue-oriented approach of PP has opened new

possibilities and perspectives for the very people and institutions

involved in going through this development process This applies

both to the MPTFs and the VPTs and other concerned residents

who can be considered as the insiders (those who are the main

actors and managers of local government development) in their

own respective barangays They have started to produce results

but the more serious concern now is how to sustain their interest

and commitment to the work and make functional and beneficial to

the barangays and the municipality the PP process Added to this

the MPTF whose staff were drawn from various LGU departments

and line agencies have started to realize the value of teamwork

and collaboration which is often just taken for granted as they

become engrossed in their daily routine

Jr Philippines To date the PRISP-PP approach has been proven to work in the pilot municipalities and villages of Nueva Ecija There is a need to reiterate that the primary concern for those who were and will still be involved is how to continuously invigorate their efforts The challenge remains the same meaningful peoples participation in development planning and its sustainability

As a new breed of planners they have learned to integrate with one another and the people in the villages Remarkably this was done through a systematic yet flexible manner which is a pre-requisite in achieving convergence of program interventions and resources that go with process all the above elements are indispensable in the pursuit of participatory development planning

Decentralizing government in the

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

Experimental Method can be used inside and

outside laboratory conditions It is the most prestigious

method of advancing scientific knowledge (Travers

1978)

This method is defined by Kerlingen as a ldquodesign

which is used for variation concomitant for the

manipulation of independent variablesrdquo It is a

technique of discovering information through

experimentation (Chaplin 1978) It is a procedure

involving a manipulation or control of conditions for

the purpose of studying the relative effects of various

treatments applied to members of a sample or of the

same treatment to members of different samples

(Good 1976)

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Philippines Roel Ravanera Philippines The decentralization processes are of three major types Shift from national to local aims to bring the government closer to the people involving deconcentration and devolution Deconcentration or administrative or sectoral decentralization involves central government transfers of power authority and responsibility or discretion to plan decide manage to lower or local levels that are within the central or national government itself Devolution or political decentralization involves the transfer of power and authority from the national government to Local Government Units (LGUs) defined in the 1987 Constitution as the territorial and political subdivisions of the state In this context devolution is inherently tied to the concept of local autonomy Shift from state to private (business) sector where state assets programmes and services are contracted to private corporations Shift from state to civil society by which civil society participates directly in government programmes and systems of governance characterized by 1) the focus on self-organized sectors of civil-society (eg NGOs POs professional associations academia etc) and 2) instituting participatory mechanisms going beyond elections and similar traditional norms The intention here is to address issues of equity for disadvantaged sectors and to increase direct participation in governance httpwwwfaoorgdocrep004ac158eac1

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

bull This method will shed light on the issues under

study which will eventually lead to the discovery of

the truth and enrichment of knowledge

bull Historical embraces various fields of human

endeavour namely science technology education

economics engineering medicine psychology

sociology including art literature culture and

sports It aims for critical search for truth in any

specific area by taking into consideration the actual

events without distortion and exaggeration of facts

Historical Source

bull Good and Gates (1972) give two (2) basic sources of historical data namely (1) documents which are reports of events made up of impressions in the past that have been consciously recorded with the purpose of transmitting information and (2) remains or relics which are physical objects or written materials of historical value and produced without the purpose of deliberately

bull It is recommended that researchers use the primary sources which are the original repository of historical information such as authentic and official records of personal data photographs writings painting sculptural pieces slides relics minutes of meetings records of speeches interviews and proceedings of conferences The secondary source refers to information given by a person who is not a direct participant in the event

The investigator however should subject these sources of information into external and internal criticisms Kerlingen (1986) identified internal criticisms as textual evaluation focused on checking the meaning and accuracy of the content of the documents that present historical facts It weighs the testimony of the documents in relation to the truth External criticisms on the other hand involve a critical examination of the veracity validity and genuineness or authenticity of the source of materials as compared to the original

Page 26: Research Methodology

Experimental method describes and

analyzes variables under controlled

conditions for purposes of arriving into a

conclusion It is specifically made up of

manipulating experimental variables

under highly controlled conditions to

determine how and why a particular

event occurs (Manuel et al 1980)

bull The variables mentioned are referred to anything or any process or condition that may change or may be qualitatively or quantitatively changed from one condition to another like weight IQ age capacity height teaching methods language time etc A dependent variable is anything or any of the observed

bull An independent variable is anything or any condition manipulated or controlled by the researcher which is applied and observed or assessed as determinants of behaviour

bull The experimental method usually uses two groups of subjects One is identified as the experimental group whose members are subjected to the experimental process while the other the control group has members who are not subjected to any experiment but they have some qualities that are otherwise similar to the experimental group in all significant aspects

Hawthorne Studies Experiments Post Gaurav Akrani Date 4212011 094100 PM IST

Part I - Illumination Experiments (1924-27)

These experiments were performed to find out

the effect of different levels of illumination

(lighting) on productivity of labour The

brightness of the light was increased and

decreased to find out the effect on the

productivity of the test group Surprisingly the

productivity increased even when the level of

illumination was decreased It was concluded

that factors other than light were also

important httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

Under these test two small groups of six female

telephone relay assemblers were selected Each group

was kept in separate rooms From time to time

changes were made in working hours rest periods

lunch breaks etc They were allowed to choose their

own rest periods and to give suggestions Output

increased in both the control rooms It was concluded

that social relationship among workers participation in

decision making etc had a greater effect on

productivity than working conditions

Part II - Relay Assembly Test Room

Study (1927-1929)

httpkalyan-cityblogspotcom201104hawthorne-

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

Historical Method is a useful design which involves a critical writing of past experiences events and developments in order to provide helpful information and direction for present and future action Kerlingen (1986) defines Historical Research as a critical investigation of past events experiences and developments and the meticulous examination of evidence of the validity of sources of past information and interpretation of weighted evidences Knowing the past will enable us to understand ourselves as people We also learn to appreciate the things we have done in the past which contribute to what we enjoy or suffer today This also enables us to learn from the mistakes of the past and assist us to avoid them not only in the present but also in the future

21000 employees were interviewed

over a period of three years to find out

reasons for increased productivity It

was concluded that productivity can be

increased if workers are allowed to talk

freely about matters that are important

to them

Part III - Mass Interviewing

Programme (1928-1930)

studies-experiments-4-partshtml

A group of 14 male workers in the bank wiring room

were placed under observation for six months A

workers pay depended on the performance of the

group as a whole The researchers thought that the

efficient workers would put pressure on the less

efficient workers to complete the work However it

was found that the group established its own

standards of output and social pressure was used

to achieve the standards of output
