Provide a framework for problem statement in the organization's research: an AHP, ISM, and MICMAC approach

Abstract

The aim is to provide a framework for statement organizational research problems. State the problem is the most important reason for the researcher to choose the subject. Although research has been done on the characteristics of expression of research problems, but in organizational research, no framework for expressing the problem has been provided. The method used in this research is grounded theory followed by the ISM-MICMAC approach for modelling. The findings of this study identify the components of problem statement in organizational research and modelling them. Due to the large number of indicators, first nine indicators of higher importance were identified, which had much more weight than other indicators. These indicators were then compared and prioritized again by other experts. Based on the level of importance of these indicators, a model is presented and it is determined what position each of these indicators is in terms of Degree of dependence and Influence rate. The researcher can easily use this information to provide an acceptable problem statement and the editors will have a good assessment tool.
