Quantitative Research Design and Methodology

Abstract

To recap, following the introduction of the field of study and a review of the theoretical foundation of inpatriation, specific research questions were derived and corresponding hypotheses developed. This led to the proposed conceptual model of assignment effectiveness. A qualitative pre-study in the form of a case study was used to explore the practical relevance of the considered dimensions of assignment effectiveness and to identify competence areas of interest for the analysis of competence build-up through inpatriation.
