Today someone ask me... how to find research GAP??? Do we need that in our study????/
Hahahahahhaa.. i was like that before.. struggling when profesor asked me... have you found the GAP for your research???? ermmm.... i was thinking.. what the hell is that.... ????
I will make your life easier.. simplify it for you.. reserach GAP is the missing element in the existing research literature that you can fill with your reserach findings... or something that has not yet been fully reserach and there is something that you can adding in to make it better or deeper...
Yeah... so... now?? How to get that??? When i mentioned above as a missing element in the existing literature.. means.. you have to find it from your reading... so.. now.. you must read..read..read., and read to find the GAP in your area....
Tired of reading????? ermm.. so... dont make a reserach...hahahhaha..
During reading.. please look at this 5 factors that could help you to find the GAP
1) Population..
May be.. last reserach only done in a small area.. such as Pahang.. but not for the entire Malaysia since Pahang is not representing Malaysia...
2) Intervention.
The last research did not use the proper intervention.. such as using phone call to make an interview.. so..may be we can use face to face since an interview via phone may be lead to another aspects of error..such as.. the person who talk to you is not the right person
3) Theory
When you found that the theory or theories used is not comprehensive and there is still relevant variables that could explained the dependant variable. Or may be.. you could combine.. individual theory such as TAM, TPB, TRA, UTAUT with an organizational theories such as TOE, RBV, DOI, MOI and etc...
4. Methodology
The last research adopted single method..and you can see.. it will be better if we used mixed method... or..the last research using qualitative..now.. you proposed to do it qualitatively..
5.Analysis
Currently.. the softwares used in the analysis are keep on changing.. last time.. may be we rely on the SPSS.. known as 1st generation... but the SPSS has their own limitation such as only can run the analysis which is reflective..but not in reflective mode.. so.. PLS and AMOS as a second generation could offer better results for your quantitaive study...
Now.. hopefully all of my readers are not looking at the title of the reserach..but looking for the GAP first.. the title will come later after you found the GAP...
ALL THE BEST GUYS.....
