Summary:

There are many challenges in conducting quantitative research and examining these challenges can be helpful to select the best quantitative research strategy. Selecting an appropriate survey strategy for research on the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment can be dependent on organizational environments, participants' professional levels, and demographic criteria. Therefore, randomly selecting a survey strategy may not be the best approach. Effective organizational management in the current economic climate seems challenging with ethical, global, technological and other geopolitical issues. An analysis of studies that address the factors influencing employee commitment and an evaluation of the connection between employee commitment and performance are done based on a review of the applied scholarly literature. Three classical theories of ethics (utilitarian, virtue ethics, and ethics of rights) can be compared and contrasted, both from originality and in the current economic climate. Similarities and differences between these theories of ethics can be based on criteria such as focus, justice, categories, premise, the moral point of view, and enforcing moral rules and issues with measurement. This book addresses these developments and challenges as well as other issues in conducting research in organizations on ethical matters.
