QUESTION 1

1. You are provided with the following abstract from an academic paper, will the aim of this study best be achieved by adopting a qualitative or quantitative approach?

Positive psychological principles have become increasingly prevalent in the workplace in recent years. However, the field still lacks a comprehensive and practice-based overview of this important trend. The present article focuses on reviewing recent research in positive psychology as it relates to the workplace, including research regarding constructs such as resilience, appreciative inquiry, empowerment, gratitude, psychological capital, work engagement, supervisor and organizational support, positive teamwork and co-worker relations, and positive leadership. For each, we synthesize research examining the nature of the construct itself, its nomological network, individual- and organizational-level outcomes, and how organizations can enhance each within their employees for increased organizational success and enhanced employee experience. Finally, we discuss gaps in the relevant literature and make specific recommendations regarding how to ameliorate such oversights in order to enhance the rigour of positive workplace research as well as the frequency and efficacy of relevant organizational interventions.

QUESTION 3

1. You are provided with the following abstract from an academic paper, will the aim of this study best be achieved by adopting a qualitative or quantitative approach?

The plantation sector in Indonesia gives a great contribution to economic development. This becomes a great opportunity for investors to invest their money in this sector. This study aims to investigate the impact of interest rate, inflation rate, and exchange rate of Indonesia Rupiah toward Dollar, as well as GDP on the Plantation sector's stock price index at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the year 2008-2012. Analysis data technique used in this research is multiple regression analysis. The data used in this research is derived from the data recorded by the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Central Bureau of Statistics, and Bank of Indonesia. The results suggest that only GDP significantly influences the stock price index of the plantation sector. The other variables such as interest rate, inflation rate, and exchange rate of Indonesia Rupiah toward Dollar do not give any significant influence to the plantation sector's stock price index. By analyzing the condition of GDP in Indonesia may help investors in deciding whether it is the right time to invest or not.
