    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 Introduction

    [Provide a general introduction to the topic. Imagine that you are talking to
    someone who has little or no knowledge of the topic or issues that you are
    proposing to study. It is important to lead the reader to the problem in logical
    manner. Usually you should go from the general to the specific.].

    Research Method & Data Analysis (ADS 511) – Research Proposal 5 / 15


    1.2 Problem statement

    A study conducted on Malaysia’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality (2019)


    found that 51% of the 17, 595 employees suffered from job stress and 53% of them get
    less than seven hours of sleep each night. This study also noted the employees
    surveyed suffered from workplace bullying which is contribute to the stress at
    workplace (Suresh, 2019). Besides, the study illustrated that 29% of employees’ feel
    that they do not have any choice in deciding what they will do at work, while around 20%
    of employees cannot even decide when to take a break from their work.
    Meaning that employees burdened with the work overloaded from the
    management or employer which makes them lack of rest and this will lead to mentally-
    depressed. Basically, employees spend more hours at the office hunching over computers
    contribute to the culture of overworking which make them less rest and lack of sleep.
    This situation obviously leads to clinical health conditions for the employees. Kikuchi.H
    et al. (2020) suggested that long working hours are shown to affect various health
    outcomes especially in cardiovascular diseases. Along with that, long working hours
    exceedingly will worsen mental health of the employees that leads to alcoholism and
    sleep disturbances. According to Chienwattanasooka &Jermsittiparsert (2019)
    stated that employees’ who is fail to reduce their stress in a timely way, it may lead
    to health issues such as heart attack, dizziness, high blood pressure, depression, sleeping
    disorders and many more and at the same time employees can be stressed out emotionally
    as well depending on the situation. This research is aimed to study the factors that
    contribute to the job-stress among employees at Malaysian Royal Customs, Gelang
    Patah, Johor.

    1.3 Research Questions

    [What about this problem that is puzzling? What would you like to seek address
    or answers for? These questions should be important, serious, specific and with
    implications for the theory and practice]. The answer to these questions will
    provide solutions to the problem.

    1.4 Research Objectives

    [Statements that clearly show what the research will seek to achieve. These
    statements must be start with an action verb – identify, determine, ascertain,
    list,]. These objectives are related to the research questions posed earlier.

    Research Method & Data Analysis (ADS 511) – Research Proposal 7 / 15


    1.5 Scope of Study

    [The study is limited to time, place, level etc. The design choices made for
    reasons of time and resources also become limitations of the study]. Conceptual
    framework will delimit the study by looking at some but not all aspects of the
    problem/phenomenon. While delimitation may appear like scope, there is no
    need to explain this here. Your conceptual framework will do that.

    1.6 Significance of the proposed study


    [How will this study help to solve problems or be useful? A good guide is to
    categorise the significance section in terms of theory, practice, policy etc.]

    1.7 Definition of terms, terminology and concepts

    [Provide a dictionary type definition of the terms and concepts to enable readers
    to follow the dissertation. Definition, unless is yours, must come with a reference.
    Don’t rely on Wikipedia too much for this. Find more serious sources from your
    literature]

    CHAPTER 2

    LITERATURE REVIEW & CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

    2.1 Literature review

    [Review of related and recent articles on the issues of interest. You should
    organise the review of the studies according to the concepts/variables in the
    conceptual framework. The studies reviewed should the basis for the definition
    and also the relationship of the variables with others. The review can also
    provide pointers on the new aspects that could be researched].

    Research Method & Data Analysis (ADS 511) – Research Proposal 9 / 15


    2.2 Conceptual Framework

    Based on the review of literature and also observation and insight into the
    problem you should develop a conceptual framework of the proposed study.
    What are my IVs? What is my DV? Are there mediating or moderating variables?
    What is the relationship between these variables? Are there hypotheses? Are
    there directional or non-directional hypotheses? How are the variables related?
    What is the evidence or basis of making these claims of relationship?

    Remember models describe the relationship but theories explain the relationship.
    What is overall theory can be used to justify the relationship? Input-output model,
    Skinner’s Behavioral Theory, Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Fishbein &
    Azjen’s Belief, Attitude, Intention and Behavior Theory, Becker’s Human Capital
    Theory, Lawler’s Expectancy Theory, Blau’s Social Exchange Theory,
    Contingency Theory etc.

    you use an existing measurement of the variable or develop a new one?
    Will you adapt the existing measures? Are they several options? Why did
    you choose this one? Do you have evidence of it reliability, validity,
    suitability, appropriateness, simplicity, conceptual relevance etc.
    3.6.2 Repeat for every variable in the conceptual framework.
    3.6.3 Summarise the measurement issues in a tabular format [optional]
