1. 0:00Hello and welcome everybody
2. 0:02We will complete the hallmarks episodes
3. 0:05In the first episode after explaining the details
4. 0:08Of the difference between the hallmarks and the characteristics
5. 0:11Today, we will explain the purposiveness part
6. 0:15What does purposiveness mean
7. 0:16So if we check in one of the books
8. 0:18The meaning of purposiveness
9. 0:20Here is purposiveness
10. 0:56Purposive not purpose
11. 0:59There is a difference between the word purpose and purposive or purposiveness
12. 1:04What does this mean?
13. 1:05Let’s think about it
14. 1:06What is the researcher looking for?
15. 1:08This manager or researcher is looking for what?
16. 1:12Let’s think
17. 1:13This sentence shows what he is looking for
18. 1:15Actually, he said The focus is to increase or to study
19. 1:20The increase of the employee commitment
20. 1:23To the organization
21. 1:25So the purpose or the aim is this sentence here
22. 1:34If we go to our slides
23. 1:37We will find that we have a difference between
24. 1:39The purpose and the purposiveness
25. 1:42Well, what do the purpose and the purposiveness mean?
26. 1:44The purpose is the one searched by this researcher
27. 1:46Here is it, the purpose searched by the researcher
28. 1:49I will present it using animation so we can discuss it part by part
29. 1:53Here, the researcher’s purpose is that
30. 1:56He was looking for a specific phenomenon
31. 1:59This phenomenon was called, in our example, the commitment
32. 2:05So the purpose of this researcher, which we can check again now
33. 2:10The aim and the purpose of the researcher that he wants to achieve
34. 2:13That is why we can actually name it a phenomenon
35. 2:19Of course, increasing or decreasing, studying, investigating,
36. 2:22is a research around the commitment
37. 2:24So now what is the main phenomenon?
38. 2:26The commitment
39. 2:27What does a phenomenon mean? It means purpose
40. 2:29So aim, purpose and phenomenon, these 3 are almost synonyms but not purposiveness
41. 2:37And in our example, applying on the commitment
42. 2:40So the researcher that is working here
43. 2:42Is working on a purpose called commitment
44. 2:46Then what is purposiveness?
45. 2:48In Arabic “This is the purpose and this is purposiveness"
46. 2:53What is the difference between the two?
47. 2:55Here, you are looking for the ultimate goal
48. 2:58Which is the phenomenon
49. 2:59But here, we are looking for a different thing
50. 3:00What is this different thing?
51. 3:02Let’s go back to the book
52. 3:04An increase and improvement in employee commitment
53. 3:07Will translate into or make us achieve lower turnover
54. 3:11The turnover will decrease
55. 3:13The employee turnover of course
56. 3:15Less absenteeism, the absenteeism will decrease
57. 3:18And increased performance levels, the performance will increase
58. 3:22By the way, we can read and understand or see the sentence, in the opposite way
59. 3:26Not really the opposite, the other direction I mean
60. 3:28Both directions are working
61. 3:29Increased performance and less absenteeism and lower turnover
62. 3:37Would lead to increased or enhanced commitment
63. 3:40So here purposiveness is these 3
64. 3:43The purposiveness is these 3
65. 3:45It is to lower the employee turnover, lower the absenteeism and increase the performance levels
66. 3:54But how to get a commitment from the employees
67. 3:57The example here says that when I increase the performance
68. 4:00And decrease the absenteeism and work on decreasing the absenteeism rate
69. 4:04And decrease the turnover rate
70. 4:08Commitment will happen and vice-versa, it goes back and forth
71. 4:12We will discuss the reason for this in details
72. 4:14But temporarily, purposiveness is the components that lead to the phenomenon
73. 4:26What does the word components recall?
74. 4:28When we were talking about components
75. 4:31What was the component? Variables
76. 4:35Therefore, when we talk about purpose,
77. 4:37We talk about the phenomenon
78. 4:39We or the researcher wants to study
79. 4:41When we talk about the purposiveness,
80. 4:49We talk about 3 things
81. 4:51Turnover in our example, absenteeism, and performance
82. 4:55It’s not important now if it’s less or high
83. 4:57This will be in another level and definition
84. 5:00What are these 3? This phenomenon’s components
85. 5:03We agreed that components mean variables
86. 5:07So if you have defined well-know, exact variables,
87. 5:11You start having purposiveness, therefore you can study these 3
88. 5:18Relative or correlated or related, in English or in statistics
89. 5:23related is more English
90. 5:26Correlated is more statistics
91. 5:28Alright, as long as you will say purpose, you should talk about a clear phenomenon
92. 5:33The example here is a commitment
93. 5:35You should say that you have purposiveness
94. 5:37Assure us that you have very well-defined variables
95. 5:40At least they should exist, even if they are not very well-defined
96. 5:46So the difference between purposiveness and purpose
97. 5:54Are variables or the phenomenon
98. 5:56Let’s think of what is related to the previous episode
99. 5:59Where we talked about hallmarks or characteristics
100. 6:03And we said that there is a difference between hallmark
101. 6:05Which is distinguishing or distinguished characteristics
102. 6:08And the basic mandatory characteristics
103. 6:12Let me ask you something from the beginning of this episode
104. 6:14Let’s think together and wonder
105. 6:15If this purposiveness is considered characteristic, according to the definition
106. 6:20Or it’s considered a hallmark
107. 6:22I mean, is this purposiveness mandatory to exist in the research?
108. 6:26Or something that is, if done by research or researcher,
109. 6:29Value-added and we consider it distinguishing and hallmark
110. 6:34Let’s go back to its definition
111. 6:35Purposiveness means variables
112. 6:38Is there scientific research that can be built without variables? Very hard.
113. 6:42Alright. Think about it. We will continue our episodes and come back again
114. 6:46And ask each other on the 8
115. 6:48Which one is considered more characteristics or mandatory or basic
116. 6:55And which one is considered distinguished, additional, and value-added or hallmark?
117. 6:59I will stop here and let you think of purposiveness definition
118. 7:03I mean either characteristic or hallmark
119. 7:06We know its definition now which is defined variables
120. 7:11Thank you so much, see you in the next episode.
