Purpose and Value of Academic Research

Question: Discuss about thePurpose and Value of Academic Research. Answer: Any research is undertaken with the ulterior motive of discovering a new fact that can enlighten the people about the specific issue in future. It is undeniable that any private organization works with the motive of maximizing its profit, and hence the proper management of human capital is absolutely integral to the success of any organization. Keeping into consideration the importance of human capital, it can be understood that Human Resource Management plays an important role for the organizational success, and the specific research intend to evaluate the relation between HR management and organizational commitment (Ã…Å ¾endoÄÅ ¸du, Kocabacak and Gven 2013). In order to discover and critically evaluate the relation between the HR management and organizational commitment, two different research methods have been employed- the Qualitative as well as the Quantitative method. While the Qualitative method has been used in order to gain an in-depth study of the topic at hand, the Quantitative method has been adopted for conducting a survey to statistically measure the general response of the managers of the organizations. Conducting a survey is an effective means of assessing the validity of the research problem (Smith 2015). Hence, although in the particular research, the survey is conducted only on the managers of various organizations, the survey should also have been focused on the employees. It should be remembered that Ontology is a study of being, and in order to acquire an understanding of the inherent relation existing between HR management and organizational commitment, the Qualitative research method is needed. It is only through gr oup discussions, interactive sessions, and in-depth study of the literary articles and journals, it is possible to understand the underlying social phenomenon that can explain the relation that exists between HR practices and organizational commitment. The employees of the chosen organizations should have been asked regarding the extent to which the HRM practices of their respective organizations have influenced their level of commitment, diligence and devotion towards the organization. In the present research, several significant research questions were being asked which are directly related to the research aim. The aim of the research is to discover the inherent relation existing between the HR practices of various sectors of organizations, and the increase in the commitment level of the employees. Keeping in consideration, the objectives of the research, the questions asked in the survey were being used to understand if there is any positive and direct relation between team activities, interaction facilities or increment in salary benefits offered by the HR, and the rise in the level of professional dedication among the employees. The literature review has helped to gather relevant information from important literary sources while the survey has been employed to test the hypothesis in accordance with the current situation in the organizations. In this way, the Positivist research philosophy is being used, which shows a scientific and objective method of analyzing the research problem (Nuttin 2014). However, in order to explain and understand the underlying reason behind the relation between effective HR practice and increase in the employee commitment, the Interpretivst philosophy could be adopted as well. The change in attitudes and beliefs of the employees with a changing HR practice could be understood by conducting personal, interactive sessions of interview with the a few employees of the chose organization (Saunders and Lewis 2015). The particular research has been conducted on various industries located in Konya, Turkey and thus as a result of having examined the research problem in the light of multiple organizations, it has been established as a fact that effective HR practices will always lead to increasing employee dedication. Starting with offering training to the necessary employees, enhancing their professional skills, HR plays an important role in motivating the employees, thereby increasing their productivity. This research throws much light on the importance of having an effective HR management team if an organization aims to ensure organizational success.
