As the research process is followed, researchers strive to take specific steps to pursue comprehensive answers to their questions. Falkoski (2012) conducted a quantitative research process to explore employee burnout. As a quantitative study utilizing a descriptive research design, employees were surveyed anonymously to determine possible correlations between burnout, engagement, coping, and workplace motivators. Falkoski’s layout is very reader-friendly with subtitles throughout the article identifying each part of the study specifically.

Falkoski’s (2012) research focused on three primary questions. Is there a relationship between burnout and coping strategies for individuals in the medical or mental health fields? Do the years of active employment affect burnout? Are there any similar themes regarding supports in a workplace for employee preferences? Falkoski (2012) identified five specific hypotheses as well. There is a correlation between employee burnout and employee engagement. There is a correlation between employee burnout and employee’s coping skills. There is a correlation between employee coping skills and employee engagement. There is a correlation between employee burnout and years of employment. Workplace motivators exist that better support an employee. Overall, Falkoski is able to study each specific question and research each hypothesis.

Falkoski (2012) identified several variables that would all be measured independently. Burnout was measured on a nine-item scale. Employee engagement was measured utilizing a Likert scale. Employee’s coping skills were measured from a 28 question coping inventory; positive and maladaptive coping skills were measured. Workplace motivators was also measured

Falkoski (2012) utilized four different surveys in order to research the different identified hypotheses. Data was collected from the online surveys that were on suveymonkey.com that was received from 268 participants. Overall, Falkoski (2012) was able to explore and assist to identify possible motivators that employers can try to better motivate employees. The anonymity of the surveys used was effective to retrieve honest and vulnerable answers from participants. Employees were able to identify both positive and negative ways they cope with the difficulties of the job as well as possibly motivators that could assist to reduce emotional exhaustion.

The research process is highly effective for exploring topics and utilizes a step by step approach. As the researcher follows the process, the steps along the way provide structure and clarity to the process. Researchers can be examining a topic for an extended period of time, but the process can help the researcher to stay focused and on track.
