Journal: Types of Research HCM - 440
I would employ the quantitative research approach since it stresses measurable quantities
and statistics, arithmetic, or computational interpretation of the variables gathered through
questionnaires, evaluations, and interviews and modifying pre-existing statistical evidence using
computing tools ("What Is Quantitative Experimental Research?", 2021). Furthermore,
quantitative research is concerned with acquiring statistical information and extrapolating it
across categories of individuals or describing a specific occurrence.
Secondly, quantitative research is concerned with statistics, rationality, and objectivity.
Quantitative research emphasizes quantifiable and stable data and thorough, coherent analysis
over divergent thought processes. As a result, the data is often acquired using organized data
collection instruments ("Types of Quantitative Research | Different Types of Quantitative
Research", 2021). Every part of the study is meticulously planned before the information is
gathered ("Key Elements of a Research Proposal - Quantitative Design", 2021). Similarly, the
main goal of a quantitative research inquiry is to identify traits, quantify them, and build
mathematical hypotheses to justify what is considered.
Thirdly, before beginning a quantitative research proposal, it is important to establish
whether it will be descriptive or experimental. Besides, this will affect how data is collected,
analyzed and interpreted ("LibGuides: Quantitative Research and Analysis: Quantitative
Methods Overview", 2021. In this respect, I will work with the descriptive approach since
descriptive research is governed by the following guidelines: The objective is solely to identify
relationships between variables, and the survey may involve several respondents of hundreds or
even thousands of participants to guarantee that a reasonable approximation of a comprehensive
correlation between variables has been achieved.

Finally, I chose the quantitative approach since I would generate statistical values that
could only be evaluated using analytical and mathematical approaches. Furthermore, I anticipate
applying methodologies such as Likert scales in the course of the research. As a result of
introducing Likert scales and comparable methodologies, most dynamics may now be analyzed
quantitatively.
