Use the transcriipts from the interviewing assignment, concerning bullying of Christian employees who work in government – these are Uploaded in Files
Section.
Using your interview transcriipts that were created from your audio-recorded interviews, review WATCH: How to Code a Document and Create Themes. You
will notice that the Word document in the video has one column to the right of the main text and one column to the left of the main text. You do not need to
alter your transcriipts in this way to start meaningful coding. Rather, you can highlight the text you want to code, Right Click, select “New Comment”, and
create your theme or code in this manner. After you have created codes and themes from your interviewing transcriipts from the interviewing assignment
concerning bullying of Christian employees, you will then need to report the results from the coding/themes, including the meaning of the themes and the
theoretical implications of the themes, in a separate Word document. The separate Word document will be your focus of this assignment and will be what
you will turn in for your graded assignment. There is no minimum number of pages, and the length depends on the pages in the transcriipts and the number
of themes produced.
As doctoral students, your assignments are expected to follow the principles of high-quality scientific standards and promote knowledge and understanding
in the field of public administration. You should apply a rigorous and critical assessment of a body of theory and empirical research, articulating what is
known about the phenomenon and ways to advance research about the topic under review. Research syntheses should identify significant variables, a
systematic and reproducible search strategy, and a clear framework for studies included in the larger analysis. Your writing should be scholarly and avoid
irrelevant facts.
Cite only literature and theory pertinent to the specific issue and not those that are of only tangential or general significance. When summarizing earlier
works, avoid nonessential details; instead, emphasize pertinent findings, relevant methodological issues, and major conclusions. Citation of relevant earlier
literature is a sign of scholarly responsibility, and it is critical for the growth of a doctoral student in public administration.
Manuscriipts should not be written in first person (“I”). All material should be 12-point, Times New Roman type, double-spaced with margins of one inch.
All manuscriipts should be written clearly and concisely. Please do not use jargon, slang, idioms, colloquialisms, or bureaucratese. Use acronyms sparingly
and spell them out the first time you use them. Please do not construct acronyms from phrases you repeat frequently in the text.
