Following questions can help you write/structure your personal reflective statement:
What is the focus of your completed Project? Why do you feel that, from both an
academic and practitioner perspective, this has been an area worthy of
36
investigation?
. In what ways did your critical review of the relevant literature modify or otherwise
develop your first thoughts about the topic – and perhaps your overall research
strategy?
. What methodological issues have arisen in your Project and how have you
addressed them – or how would you address them now?
. How did your answers to Question 2 and 3 influence:
a) your choice of research methods
b) your data analysis
c) the conclusions drawn from your analysis
. What have you learned from undertaking this research and how will you apply this to
your future work in HRM?
. If you were to undertake this Project again what, if anything, might you do differently
and why?
