1. 0:00welcome your honors
2. 0:02in this episode we will discuss generalizability
3. 0:05and this session follows the session of replicability
4. 0:08what does generalizabilty mean?
5. 0:10let's discuss this idea together
6. 0:14the concept here states that generalizability refers to the scope
7. 0:16of applicability of research findings in one organizational
8. 0:21setting, organizational setting here means 9 elements
9. 0:26meaning a particular setting, not a company
10. 0:29in one organizational setting to other settings
11. 0:35to other different and multiple circumstances
12. 0:37obviously the wider range of applicability
13. 0:41of the solutions generated by the research
14. 0:46which is the first one from the last episode
15. 0:48the first research
16. 0:50the more useful the research is to the users
17. 0:53for instance, if a researcher's findings that participation in decision making
18. 1:00the variable enhances organizational commitment
19. 1:05are found to be true in a variety, difference multiplicity , of manufacturing
20. 1:13industrial, service organizations, and not merely in the particular
21. 1:18organization and not merely in the particular nine elements
22. 1:25not only in the organization or the company in the first context
23. 1:30studied by the researcher, the first researcher
24. 1:34meaning that these outcomes are not only suitable and applicable with the first researcher
25. 1:40in the circumstances where he/she studied his/her research
26. 1:43then the generalizability of the findings to other organisational
27. 1:49or nine elements,settings is enhanced
28. 1:53the more, of course, generalizable the research the greater its usefulness
29. 2:03and value.However, not many research findings can be generalized
30. 2:09to all other settings, situations, or organizations
31. 2:13let's comprehend and review this using our graph
32. 2:16we had objectivity, do you remember it?
33. 2:19the linked components be it to the major research components or sub-components inside it
34. 2:25and we had replicability similar problem
35. 2:28the same research design
36. 2:30new data collection and analysis if the results were the same
37. 2:34then here replicability is achieved
38. 2:37and the first research or researcher takes its credit
39. 2:40what about generalizability?
40. 2:42this is generalizability, what does it state?
41. 2:46it states that the problem definition, what are the alternatives we have?
42. 2:51exact match the second exact match
43. 2:53problem so we have to use the first conclusion
44. 2:57similar the second case then it is replicable
45. 3:01but what is the third case of generalizability?
46. 3:05will it be exact or similar? no, then what will it be?
47. 3:10different, meaning different nine elements
48. 3:14as if they are different circumstances, another industry or company
49. 3:17in another country, for different customer and employees
50. 3:21then what is the similar thing?
51. 3:23you are studying the same phenomena which is productivity, commitment or satisfaction
52. 3:27or whatever as a phenomena
53. 3:29but here it is different context, components of this phenomena and it is affected by other
54. 3:36variables similar to the previous one
55. 3:40but it is a different context, pay attention the this that is different is context
56. 3:45which are nine elements organizational type, management and business functions
57. 3:52organizational level, management functions internal or external environment
58. 3:58time, geographical location, industry and so on
59. 4:03the researcher number 2 reviewed a similar literature
60. 4:09and the same researcher decided to use the same design
61. 4:13then if the third research decided use a new design
62. 4:18then we have a new flawless research
63. 4:20it does not have replicability or generalizability
64. 4:23but the second, the third, the fourth, or three thousands researchers decided with full conscience to use
65. 4:30the prior design, of the first research
66. 4:33when, of course, the researcher collects data related to his/her context applying the principle of objectivity
67. 4:39and made analysis to the data
68. 4:41but what the outcome was different ?
69. 4:44it is absolutely normal for the outcome to be different
70. 4:49even if this one was working on this context and the result is also different
71. 4:54it is considered a new research
72. 4:56there is nor issues or accusation that he failed to do what ought to be done
73. 4:59but the weird and the abnormal thing is to have same as the outcome
74. 5:04this is the excellence, value added
75. 5:06this is the value added that the new research has added
76. 5:09can we expect other research like 4 or 5?
77. 5:11the same thing
78. 5:13should do a problem definition
79. 5:15he/she has three alternatives
80. 5:17either matching in this i am advising him/her to use this research on the above
81. 5:21the above conclusion
82. 5:23or similar in this case i advise him/her to continue and see you are going to use the same design
83. 5:29or not
84. 5:29if using the same design and environment and then we have the same outcome
85. 5:34we say the case of replicability and credit goes to the first researcher
86. 5:38he/she is the one who has replicability not the third or the fourth
87. 5:41here the researcher number four, five or three thousands
88. 5:45found that the context under study is totally different
89. 5:48to a greater degree in the majority of the nine elements
90. 5:51but the researcher still considers that this design is suitable for his/her research
91. 5:55how? as when using a model , theory, constructs, or concepts
92. 6:02and integrates it in your design
93. 6:04it is also more than that
94. 6:05there is someone before you brought this model and added to it
95. 6:08variables and used it in the design to the extent that you liked it
96. 6:11and you are using it
97. 6:13you are using it to to study and measure the problem you are investigating
98. 6:17if the result is different then you have done a new research
99. 6:20but number of three thousands or four thousands
100. 6:24if the result is the same we consider it generalizability
101. 6:28are peblicability and generability, we studied last and this episodes,
102. 6:34considered hallmarks or characteristics?
103. 6:37i want you to think about this question and we will discuss it in the last episodes
104. 6:41this ways we have two episodes left
105. 6:43one episode discusses the following principle which is precision ( confidence and error )
106. 6:49and the other episode tackles parsimony
107. 6:52and maybe i will integrate them in one episode
108. 6:54to make it easier for you
109. 6:56thank you so much
