Suppose your manager is really interested in employee well-being and wants you to collect some descriptive data regarding workplace happiness. Happiness is your main variable of interest. Based on the two broad types of descriptive research below, determine how you would (a) operationally define and (b) measure workplace happiness. Also, include a (c) description of the research design (e.g., number of people, how you would collect your data, design characteristics etc...). There are no right or wrong answers as long as your measurement is consistent with your operational definition, which is consistent with your research design!

*Be specific and provide any supplemental materials that you create. In other words, if your survey involves a series of questions, include those specific questions and their measurement scale. If the behavioral observation includes some rating sheet or tally, include it.Don't just describe what you would do, actually create it! You may have several additional pages to turn in depending on what you create.
