,Section A - Research Problem AND Purpose

Q1.
In a mixed-methods study examining organizational resilience, a researcher uses a
sequential explanatory design but collects qualitative data after the quantitative analysis.
Which validity threat is most pronounced?


A. Construct validity due to inadequate B. Internal validity from temporal
operationalization of resilience. precedence issues in causal inference.

C. External validity from limited D. Statistical conclusion validity due to low
generalizability of qualitative findings. power in the quantitative phase.
Correct: B - Internal validity from temporal precedence issues in causal inference.


Rationale:In sequential explanatory designs, the qualitative phase is meant to explain
quantitative results; however, without proper integration, temporal precedence can be
compromised, threatening internal validity. Construct validity (A) is about measurement, not
design sequencing. External validity (C) is less directly threatened by sequencing. Statistical
conclusion validity (D) relates to statistical power, not design order.

Q2.
A researcher is developing a conceptual framework for a study on digital transformation
in SMEs. Which approach best ensures the framework is both theoretically grounded and
contextually relevant?


A. Adopting a grand theory (e.g., institutional B. Conducting a systematic literature review
theory) without modification. and then using thematic synthesis to
integrate concepts.

C. Relying solely on practitioner insights D. Using a single case study to generate a
from industry reports. framework, then generalizing it.
Correct: B - Conducting a systematic literature review and then using thematic synthesis
to integrate concepts.


Rationale:A systematic literature review with thematic synthesis ensures the framework is
built on cumulative knowledge while allowing adaptation to the specific context. Grand
theories (A) may lack contextual specificity. Practitioner insights (C) are valuable but lack
theoretical rigor. A single case study (D) limits generalizability and theoretical grounding.

Q3.
In a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, the chi-square test is significant (p <
0.05), but the CFI is 0.95 and RMSEA is 0.04. What is the most appropriate interpretation?

, Section A - Research Problem AND Purpose



A. The model is definitively rejected due to B. The model shows acceptable fit because
the significant chi-square. CFI and RMSEA meet thresholds, but
chi-square sensitivity to sample size must
be considered.


C. The model fit is poor because chi-square D. The results are inconclusive and require
is the definitive test. a different model.

Correct: B - The model shows acceptable fit because CFI and RMSEA meet thresholds, but
chi-square sensitivity to sample size must be considered.


Rationale:Chi-square is sensitive to sample size and often significant in large samples even
when the model fits well. CFI 0.95 and RMSEA 0.05 indicate acceptable fit. Thus, the model
should be accepted based on these indices. Option A is too strict, C is incorrect, and D is
unnecessary.

Q4.
A researcher plans to use a grounded theory approach to study entrepreneurial
decision-making. Which practice is most consistent with the methodology's core
principles?


A. Starting with a predefined hypothesis and B. Using theoretical sampling to refine
testing it through interviews. emerging categories until saturation.

C. Conducting a literature review before D. Quantifying qualitative data to ensure
data collection to guide questions. objectivity.
Correct: B - Using theoretical sampling to refine emerging categories until saturation.


Rationale:Grounded theory emphasizes iterative data collection and analysis, with theoretical
sampling to develop categories until saturation. Predefined hypotheses (A) contradict the
inductive nature. Literature reviews (C) are often delayed to avoid preconceptions.
Quantification (D) is not a grounded theory practice.

Q5.
Which ethical consideration is most critical when conducting research involving social
media data without explicit user consent?


A. Ensuring data are anonymized before B. Obtaining informed consent from every
analysis. user whose data are used.

C. Balancing privacy expectations with the D. Using only data that are publicly
public nature of the data and potential harm. accessible without any restrictions.
Correct: C - Balancing privacy expectations with the public nature of the data and
potential harm.
