Discussion Post: Leadership Impact on Organization Performance
Rather than writing a full-length literature review for your topic, you will practice developing your theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic and then develop your literature review funnel.
1) The purpose of the theoretical framework is to tie the dissertation together. As the researcher, you should approach the proposed research from a theory or set of theories that provide the backdrop for the work (researchers do not create theory; they use established theory in which to embed their work).
2) This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories
3) The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
