Motivation
The motivation of the questionnaire is one the influence way to receive the honest and effective responds. The creative questionnaire could be a tool to encourage participant to be part of the research. A good questionnaire help the participants focus and follow the subject and goal. For us as a researcher it is an important to create the questionnaire that motivates our target. It could be by using the correct language, and order the question in an effective ways (Dillman 1995.)
Principles for design self-administered questionnaires
The questionnaire should follow a style that leads respondent in a particular way which interviewer expect. (Dillman 1995.)
Designing navigation guides
A questionnaire which has good structure can give the respondent a clear picture that they are expected to give. Using visual elements to create a clear path for respondent is vital to get their engagement when filling in the questionnaires. These elements can be question numbers or the colour of questionnaires which should be in one color: black print on white paper, avoiding the used of dotted lines beneath the write-in answer spaces. If those factors are utilized professionally, the questionnaire will be able to guide respondents thoroughly (Dillman 1995.)
The questionnaire we create will be aim to answer the following questions:
Group belonging/IB/Tourism
Female/male Gender way of communication
Nationality Asia, Western Europe, East Europe, Africa
How many projects have you done?
Are they satisfied with their leader: scale from 1-10
How do they feel with the leadership of teachers? scale 1-10
Do you think leader has significant role in the project? Scale 1-5
Are there any conflicts between team members and team leaders? Open ended question – interview
What is the role of the leader to overcome the conflict and what are the steps s/he needs to take?
Are there any motivations come from the leader of project?
Which characteristic that a good team leader should have? List the characteristics
What motivates you in a leader?
Are there any team members that have power within a team?
Which styles of leadership that you prefer?Soft/hard leader
How do you support others within a team?
At the beginning of the questionnaire we will identify the target group. For example, we could have more understanding that is it depends on their background so they have a certain expectation of their leader. Then, we will ask the question that will lead us to the answer the question about the element of the leadership and leadership skills. We will also try to find out the characteristic of the ideal leader they prefer to work with in the team dynamic and the motivation tools that they think it is useful and help them to work in a team more easily and we will also figure out the level of satisfaction of the leadership in the group.
Budget and time line
Budget planning is an organizational need and includes planning and considering how to confront future potential risks and opportunities by establishing an efficient system of control, a detector of variances between project’s objectives and performance. Budgets are considered to be the core element of an efficient control process and consequently vital part for project success. (Davila 2007.) “As a forward looking set of numbers, budgets project future financial performance with enables evaluating the financial viability of a chosen strategy” (Wallace 2010.) Often the process of budgeting is formalized by preparing the budget and monitoring performance against original forecast. In the project situation planning is based on the cost structure and identified as predictions of the costs associated with a particular project. Those costs include labour, materials and other related expenses. The project budget as the general budget is broken down into specific task budget assigned to each. (Wikipedia 2010.)
For the successful project implementation it is essentially important to monitor the budget and do the cost control. The costs and resources need to be checked weekly and booked to the project and cross referenced with the project plan.
Budget
Expenses not considered directly related. Opportunity cost is the cost of any activity that may unexpectedly appear such as travelling and costs of printing the materials will be covered by HAAGA-HELIA UAS.
