Qualitative Research Approaches

Question: Discuss about the Qualitative Research Approaches. Answer: Introduction: The presentation discusses about various methods of qualitative approaches. Weaknesses, strengths, and different other related aspects are mentioned in the presentation. The selected topic i.e. HR capabilities in information security systems are interrelated with each other. The study illustrates about the use of qualitative approaches while conducting both primary and secondary research on the above-mentioned research topic along with the relation of the qualitative research approaches with other forms of research approaches while exploring the HR capabilities in the information systems security development within UAE. Qualitative research approaches defines behavior of human beings. It is used to conduct social research mostly when compared to other variants of research. However, qualitative research approaches are also used in conducting this research of exploring the skill gaps in the information systems. It is responsible for providing analysis of data that include cultural background of the respondents. Apart from that, there are various types of qualitative approaches. It will be described in details in the next slide. Qualitative research approaches are of five types. They are ethnography, phenomenology, field research, case study and grounded theory. However, it is pointed out that these variants of research approaches are used in collecting different data from the respondents i.e. students and workers as well as from secondary sources. Case study is considered as using different secondary research methods while the rest three qualitative research approaches uses methodologies of primary research. There are many strengths of qualitative research approaches that are discussed in details in the two slides consecutively. The strength of qualitative research approach is on the analyzing power of the different approaches in the data analysis part of the whole research of skill gaps. These research approaches illustrate the gap of crisis related to the research topic selected for the study. These types of approaches are used in collection of data from both primary and secondary sources. Ethnographic approach of qualitative research is used in data collection methods. Qualitative approaches are used in enhancing the data collected from different kinds of sources. Phenomenology research approach is used in comparing the views of the sample respondents of the universities and different workplaces. It is used to collect valuable and credible information for conducting the research. Qualitative research approach is used in analyzing secondary data in the validating the needs of Information security system in Dubai. Qualitative research approaches are used in different methods of conducting the research. Field research methods are used to conduct in depth interviews from the sample respondents. Ethnography research approach is related with cultural anthropology of the area and the nature of the respondents. Phenomenology on the other hand is used to conduct interviews among the sample respondents. Grounded theory is used to identify themes of the research i.e. the skill gaps in campus and workplace. Qualitative research approach is used to conduct different types of market research. However, qualitative research approaches are used to conduct social research more specifically than any other types of research i.e. market research. The analytical tools of the qualitative research approaches are used to explore the research topic in details. On the other hand, using qualitative approach students will be benefitted by getting a deeper understanding of the HR capabilities of the information security system in UAE. Apart from the above-mentioned uses of qualitative research methods, there are many other uses of qualitative approaches. They are qualitative approaches uses very high structured techniques. It also uses rigid techniques. Unlimited expression from the sample respondents are expressed by this approach. Qualitative research approaches usually generate ideas for quantitative research approaches. However, it also relies on different responses on the questionnaires of the skill gaps caused by the improper education system. The varied approaches of qualitative research are related with other methods of research. Quantitative research approaches are related with the qualitative research approaches. The research methodologies are used in formulating and determining the process of research methodologies. Quantitative research approaches are used along with qualitative approaches for better result. Basic research approaches are used in the determining the research process of conducting the primary research from the campus students of UAE (Rauch et al. 2014). It can be said that qualitative research approaches are complementary with other approaches of research. It is related to almost all forms of research such as basic research, applied research etc. The quantitative research approach is considered as most appropriate methods of research that act with complementary to qualitative research approaches. While conducting the efficiency of HR capabilities, proper methods of data analysis is used in the research methods. Qualitative approaches are used in different types of research methods. Usually qualitative approaches are exploratory in nature. Qualitative techniques in research are used in elicitation of the comprehensive view of the research. Qualitative techniques are used in enriching the process of data analysis in the whole research methods. The sample of the research topics i.e. HR capabilities for the development of information security systems in UAE are depended on the research approaches used in the research. Apart from having advantages of qualitative approach of research, there are lots of disadvantages of the research approaches as well. The slide will describe about the qualitative approaches disadvantages. The conduction of the research is depended on the biasness of the person. Lack of improper skill of the researcher in conducting the research process. It is a time consuming approach. In terms of confidentiality and anonymity, there are various creations of issues (Cakoni and Colton 2014). Informative research will not accept the qualitative research approaches. There is less validity of the data that are collected by using different methods of qualitative data. The less reliability of the collective data of the qualitative approaches used in the research processes. The different types of qualitative approaches sometimes are not suitable for the different types of research methods. It will hamper the quality of the research. The disadvantages of the qualitative approaches of research are responsible for creating problems faced by the students who are using these methods of research methods. There are multiple reasons that are creating problems. The various ethical constraints are the major cause of the problem. The behavior of the respondents hampers the quality of the research. There are many gaps that are created by this incident. Hence, problems are faced by analyzing the results of the research i.e. for mitigating the gap of skills (Shakespeare-Finch et al. 2013). Limitations of the qualitative approach are a problem of the students. The low quality of the data is a vital problem for the students. Lower response for the respondents is a big problem for the students. However, on the other hand, inefficiency of the person associated in conducting the research is also a disadvantage.
