1HYPOTHETICAL RESEARCH DESIGNIntroductionIt is possible for a researcher to choose between a number ways for conducting aresearch. However, the selected design for the research depends on the nature of the research andthe outcome expected from the same. Research design required for qualitative methodsignificantly varies from the one needed in the quantitative method, which can be explained fromthe philosophical stance. Both hypothetical research designs proposed in this will study the issueof growing diversity the workplace and the leadership associated with it. Qualitative Research DesignPurposeThe purpose of the qualitative research will help understanding the impact of diversity inthe workplace and how different leadership style can help managing a diversified workplace. Research DesignBeing the most flexible research method available, qualitative research helps theresearcher in encompassing wide range of accepted techniques and structures. Adoptingqualitative research design for understanding the issue of diversity and leadership in theworkplace will have an explanatory approach (Lewis, 2015). This is effective in extracting datarelated to the matter for developing idea behind the issue, which in turn helps in identifyingsolution. This qualitative research will have two approaches. The first approach will be toidentify the issues related to diversity in workplace. Focused group interview method can beuseful in this case for extracting necessary data. Second approach will be focusing on the

2HYPOTHETICAL RESEARCH DESIGNleadership approach taken by the managers in handling the diversified workforce. Personalinterview method in this case will provide optimum benefit. Data collection and analysisQualitative research is vastly different form the quantitative method, as it does notinvolve statistical analysis. This calls for open-ended questions for the data collection method(Roberts et al, 2014). Moreover, the questions can be of two types that are structured or semi-structured. Implementation of semi-structured questions will be effective in this case, which canbe implement survey method (Palinkas et al, 2015). Though, the qualitative method, unlikequantitative method does not have specificity in the outcome of the result, they however providesopportunity to the research to explore a wide range of possibilities. This enables the researcher toconduct intensive research for collecting in-depth information related to the issue, which in thiscase will provide opportunity for understanding the relation between the diversified workforceand leadership style.The qualitative data collected through the focused group interview and personal interviewhas to be analyzed for developing understanding of the issue. The qualitative analysis methodbeneficial in this case is the framework analysis that involves thematic framework, coding andinterpretation (Gale et al, 2013). Thematic analysis tool will help in this case for identifying thepattern in the data. The coding utilized under the framework analysis useful in this case is opencoding that will help in organizing raw data to make sense out of it. The second stage involvedin framework analysis is the thematic analysis that helps in identifying the patterns involved.This further helps in categorizing the themes involved and relation between the themes.
