1The Role of Religion and Spirituality in African American Women’s Mental Health Beliefs

Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) in which you create an argument for your chosen methodology. Include the following in your paper:

  1. A refined statement of your potential dissertation topic.
  2. A single-sentence problem statement that aligns with your potential dissertation topic.
  3. A cohesive, literature-based argument for your choice of employing a quantitative or qualitative methodology for your study. How does this methodology align with your problem statement?
  4. A cohesive argument for not choosing the alternate method to explore your study. Why does this methodology not align with your problem statement?

For my dissertation, I will be using the qualitative research method. Be sure to use sentence case. SENTENCE CASE – Titles of books and journal articles are written in “sentence case.” Capitalize only the first word of the sentence and the first word after the colon, if there is one (this is the beginning of the subtitle). Everything else should be lowercase, except for proper names and initials. This is true for website titles as well. Review section 6.17, p. 168 in your APA 7th ed. manual. Names of journals should be written in title case.

Quality Management – Human Capitol

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 4 and 5 in the course textbook and the weekly lecture.

One of the most effective ways to achieve improvement within an organization is through its most important resource, its people. Clifton Leaf recognizes their importance and the role of motivation in the below quote:

“For those smart enough to recognize it—and mine it—the human capital embedded in a company’s workforce is simply the best asset it has: more mobile than factories or equipment, more rewarding in the long term than investment capital, easier to leverage than brand or market share. It is human minds, after all, that spark discoveries and breakthroughs; human impatience and ingenuity that give rise to brilliant hacks and workarounds; human touch, humor, instinct, and empathy that bond with customers and sell products.” – (2017, para. 2).
