Overview
The problem statement paper should define the general problem to be addressed as well as the specific problem the study aims to address. This paper should have a specific section of General Problem that includes the line of “The general problem to be addressed is…” followed by a specific section for the Specific Problem that includes the line “The specific problem to be addressed is…”. Continuing with our example from the previous section, the general problem might be that with the rise and normality of social media communication, leaders have resolved to email or slack to communicate with employees which has caused a lack of emotion and personalization in communication. Then, the specific problem could be that employees are not feeling valued by leaders because they are not receiving the in-person communication and attention they need to be feel confident in their employment, which is resulting in employees quite quitting or underperforming in the workplace.
The problem statement paper should be between three and five pages, excluding the title page, abstract, and reference page and use the Robson and Creswell/Poth textbooks, along with three other academic scholarly references on the methods chosen. Again, the body of the paper should be between three and five pages. Reference to the “Simple but Effective Problem Statements and Research Questions” white paper will be of great assistance.
