Greetings
Well, it is interlinked. Questions lead to hypothesis and then thrust to investigate and identify through intriguing applications and testing to obtain eventual validations.
This is a good question. One can write a lot on this. Appreciate.
Dear S M Anas , I agree with Shahida Anusha Siddiqui : you should always have at least one research question. Hypotheses assume you are using a positivist philosophy and deductive inference. Other philosophical positions might lead to inductive inference which does not use a priori hypotheses. Therefore hypotheses are optional.
If our dissertation is attempting to answer one or more quantitative research questions, there are a number of factors we need to think about before getting started. These factors include (a) the types of quantitative research questions we are trying to answer; (b) the variables we want to measure, manipulate, and/or control; (c) how we should structure our research questions; and (d) whether we should use research questions as opposed to research hypotheses. Understanding the types of the quantitative research question (i.e., descriptive, comparative, and/or relationship) you want to answer is your first task when using a quantitative research design. Quantitative research questions and research hypotheses are designed to accomplish different tasks. Sometimes dissertations should include both although this is not always the case.

The Hypothesis can only be presented in an EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN, since it is the only one that allows hypothesizing a "Null Hypothesis" -Ho- and falsifying (checking whether it is true or not) the hypothesis raised; Objectives would also fit in such Designs ... but if the Research or Work Design is not experimental (Hypothetical-Deductive), HYPOTHESES ARE NOT ALLOWED, ALTHOUGH OBJECTIVES ARE.
You actually want both to be in your dissertation! You may develop a hypothesis or more for different research questions.
You are the researcher so you would know what direction you are looking for after reviewing so much literature. In this sense, hypotheses are more appropriate than a research question without telling a direction but basically a question. That is if you were my advisee. Others may have different taste.
both..because question is the main focus of research and whole process revolves around question.. and hypothesis is researchers prediction or idea which is to be proved right or wrong... in simple way researchers hypothesis will be either accepted or rejected
The research question was answered by the results directly the percentage of ( ) was ( % )
But the hypothesis depend on the effect of intervention either approved or not approved
It depends upon the nature of the problem we deal with. If the problem emanates from matured theory, we prefer hypothesis to research questions otherwise its counter part holds true.
If your objectives are analytical, so you need a hypothesis and if your objectives are descriptive, you need research questions.
the relationship between X and Y or the effect of X on Y analytical objectives
the prevalence of X in ....... descriptive objective
Formulating your research questions then you will need to form a hypothesis for. If your quantitative study is explanatory you have to have them both
both of them are important, but it depends on the study you are doing, an experimental study, the hypothesis is required, and if it is no experimental study, the questionnaire will be required because it is just investigating the statement in the study.
You need to decide first which research method are you using. Qualitative you need a research question which you need to answer at the end. Quantitative method you will need a hypothesis which you will need to prove it at the end. Unless you are using both methods then you can use both question and hypothesis
Both can be. You need to see which one your study is most focused on. If your study is to prove your purpose at the end of your work, it is best to cite a hypothesis to finally determine whether the results refute or confirm your hypotheses (mostly in quantitative studies). And if the purpose of the study is to find answers to some questions and to justify them scientifically, it is better to ask the research question (mostly in descriptive studies). Of course, in both cases, both the question and the hypothesis can be raised.
