Your manager is very pleased with your research data collection plan and qualitative research design for understanding how to motivate employee performance and has asked you to write a literature review (similar to Chapter 2 in your dissertation). Your dilemma is what empirical research should be included in your literature review. How can you discern quality studies in the qualitative realm from mediocre ones? What are the top five criteria for selecting high quality qualitative empirical articles for your literature review? Is there ever an instance where you might include a study that does not adequately meet all five criteria? Support your position.
Note: Rather than providing insights into or literature regarding the topics of employee perceptions or employee retention, focus your discussion post on the research methodology and design and the process of selecting scholarly qualitative literature to resolve this applied research example.
