Describe training methods for improving employee performance. Apply ethical reasoning to ethical issues within the field of study.Talent Turnover and Ethics Introduction: Using the appropriate training and development methods can have significant effects on employee performance and the success or failure of a company.

This turnover has caused client software projects to not be completed as scheduled. The CEO has turned to you as the HR director to find out what is wrong and to recommend a remedy. You do some initial investigations only to find that the salaried, full-time employees at this level of expertise are working 60 hours a week or more on a regular basis. You are concerned not only for the business implications of this attrition problem but the ethical implications.Checklist:Describe the company’s problem in your own words from a business and ethical perspective.Choosing one of the ethical approaches, describe what ethical approach you would use for the development of these employees and explain why.Describe the training and development methods you would use to improve employee morale and motivation and to reduce attrition.Submit your minimum 2-page (i.e., 500 words) response in an original essay with additional title and reference pages in APA format and citation style

Unlike quantitative research, which begins with hypotheses, qualitative research has been defined as “a systematic empirical inquiry into meaning” (Shank, Brown, & Pringle, 2018, p. 20). Qualitative research begins with a high-level research question, and through a systematic discovery process, emergent data increasingly leads to a more thorough understanding of the research topic and question. Qualitative studies are not tightly controlled, as in quantitative studies. Instead, qualitative researchers seek to uncover hidden variables in natural settings. As a methodology, qualitative research embraces complex phenomenon to understand how the world works. According to Shank, Brown, and Pringle (2018), qualitative research focuses on understanding rather than knowing, and searches for meaning rather than facts. Qualitative research addresses cultural diversity and difference through trying to understand how people are different in different contexts. Whereas quantitative studies deal with samples that generalize to larger populations, qualitative studies do not attempt to generalize. Qualitative researchers understand that findings and interpretations are relevant to the study environment (local context). Sometimes one qualitative study may be compared to another, such as in comparative case studies. In these instances, some small generalizations can be made to similar contexts; however, overall qualitative studies do not focus on generalization. Qualitative studies do not use the same instruments to gather data as quantitative studies. Instead, qualitative studies rely on collection methods such as observations, interviews, and artifact analysis. Validity and reliability take on different meaning in qualitative studies; instead focusing on credibility and trustworthiness. Qualitative researchers use various methods to achieve credibility and trustworthiness. Data analysis is also quite different in qualitative studies. There are two “orientations” to qualitative data analysis—“thematic analysis and meaning discernment”—that then lead to specific choices about the strategies available for researchers (Shank, Brown, & Pringle, 2018, p. 93). Since qualitative studies rely on narrative data collection strategies, transcribed data is coded to help determine themes and relationships that help researchers interpret the phenomenon under investigation. Reporting is also different in qualitative studies. Rich and thick narratives add credibility to qualitative studies by providing an appropriate account of the research processes, data collection methods, interpretations, and researcher bias. It is typical for qualitative reports to be considerably longer than quantitative reports. Reference Shank, G., Brown, L., & Pringle, J. (2018).
