Hello, I am research doctoral student seeking insight on including an intervention as a third predictor variable in a quantitative correlational study. The issue is finding a measurement tool with validity and reliability cited in a peer reviewed article that measures an organizational intervention.
I appreciate any suggestions or feedback.
Thank you!
Including an intervention as a predictor variable in a quantitative correlational study can be a valuable addition to your research. To find a measurement tool with validity and reliability that measures an organizational intervention, you can follow these steps:
Identify relevant peer-reviewed articles: Start by searching academic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, or PsycINFO using keywords related to your research topic, such as "organizational intervention measurement tool" or "valid and reliable measurement tool for organizational intervention."
Review the literature: Look for articles that discuss or utilize measurement tools for organizational interventions. Pay attention to the methods section of the articles, as researchers often mention the specific measurement tools they used and provide information on their validity and reliability.
Assess validity and reliability: Once you have identified potential measurement tools, carefully evaluate their validity and reliability. Validity refers to whether the tool measures what it intends to measure, while reliability refers to the consistency and stability of the tool's results. Look for information on how the validity and reliability of the measurement tool were assessed in the article.
Consider the source: Ensure that the peer-reviewed article you are referencing is from a reputable source. Check the journal's impact factor, the author's credentials, and the article's citations and references to gauge its credibility.
Cite the article: When including the measurement tool in your dissertation, make sure to properly cite the peer-reviewed article where it was introduced. Follow the citation style recommended by your institution or the guidelines of the journal you are submitting your dissertation to.
Remember, critically evaluate the measurement tool's validity and reliability before incorporating it into your research.
Thank you, Ajit Singh , for a thorough and most helpful response.
Many thanks,
Shanna
Interventions in organizations are usually assessed through quasi-experimental designs where a group that received the intervention is compared to a group or groups that did receive the intervention.
I have never seen an example of a measure for an intervention.
