The Research Contribution: Theoretical, Methodological, and Empirical

EU Global Journal focuses on covering sustainable Business and Management dimensions in business, management and technologies in a quite comprehensive manner. It acknowledges and welcomes diverse theoretical orientations, wide-ranging data, and methodological viewpoints. The Journal prefers research papers that provide novel contributions- theoretically, methodologically, or substantively.

Authors providing theoretical contributions must focus on advancing conceptual frameworks of the original constructs. Thinking of some additional variables (dependent, independent, moderating, or mediating) is one way to contribute theoretically. Additionally, authors can develop additional theory linkages or improve the conceptual rationale behind existing theories.

Methodological contributions focus on improving research methods to enhance the generalizability of the research, reduce potential issues in existing research methods about a specific study, or employ refined measures that do not rely on self-reports. It also involves comparisons of proposed new methods to existing methods, justifies the superiority of new methods, and presents the limitations of new methods.

Empirical contributions emphasise on testing something that has not been tested previously. It can explore theoretical linkages between two concepts or constructs. It can also determine the degree to which a variable mediates the relationship between two constructs.

Salient Aspects to Consider

⮚ Research papers can have primary data collection (quantitative and qualitative) and/or secondary data (comprehensive meta-analysis data) methods.
⮚ Researchers can undertake different research designs to align research objectives and hypotheses, such as explanatory, experimental, exploratory, descriptive, or something else. However, we encourage authors to move beyond descriptive and explanatory methods to be critical and analytical.
⮚ Authors should clearly state their conceptual paradigms, justify their methods and data analysis plan, and suggest recommendations to suit wide-ranging organisational contours.
⮚ Manuscripts should consult relevant literature, identify significant gaps, and make compelling contributions to nurture organisational learning. They should clearly connect their research scope, goals, methods, and recommendations.
⮚ The conclusion should be a thorough wrap-up of the entire research study.
