Cilji in teze 1 (dispozicija zaključnega dela)

V tem pogavju izpostavite namen in cilje zaključnega dela. Gre za logično nadaljevanje od raziskovalnega vprašanja, ki je bilo zastavljeno v zgornjem poglavju. Namen naloge je en sam (navadno je odgovoriti na temeljno raziskovalno vprašanje), ciljev pa je lahko več, npr. ugotoviti mnenje respondentov o formalnem pregonu spletnega piratstva, ugotoviti kateri dejavniki so povezani z odnosom do spletnega piratstva, ugotoviti ali obstajajo razlike v mnenjih med moškimi in ženskami ipd.

Poglavje začnite neposredno: Cilj zaključnega dela je... V primeru, ko imate ciljev več (le izjemoma več kot tri) zapišite vsak cilj čim bolj nedvoumno. Na primer: "Z zaključnim delom bomo dosegli naslednje cilje. Prvič, ... Drugič, ... Tretjič ..." (lahko tudi v alinejah ali točkah, kot npr. (a), (b), (c)). Pomembno je, da so cilji izpostavljeni nedvoumno.

V kolikor gre za empirično zaključno delo, bo vaša dispozicija vključevala tudi hipoteze.

Hipoteze postavimo, ko imamo dobro zastavljen raziskovalni model. Hipoteze morajo biti preverljive. Za razliko od ciljev, ki izvirajo iz vašega raziskovalnega vprašanja in jih lahko preprosto naštejete, mora biti vsaka hipoteza dobro premišljena in utemeljena s preteklimi raziskavami.

Primer

Even though privacy concerns can vary from one individual to another [37], they may be a powerful inhibitor for cyberspace activity. Similarly to individuals who may be uncertain about providing their personal medical data online due to its sensitivity and the potential threat to their privacy that its misuse poses [45], social network users may be more concerned about their privacy if they perceive that their personal and/or private data stored (or shared) on social networks is more sensitive. Privacy concerns may be also related to the trust that social network users put into the state regulation [46, 47]. For example, social network users that trust the regulation (i.e., the national and international legal regulation) to protect the privacy of their data stored on social networks are probably less concerned about the privacy of their data on them. If social network users however perceive that the state is in fact doing quite the opposite of protecting the privacy of their data, i.e., invading their privacy through surveillance, their privacy concerns may increase [48]. This led us to the following hypotheses: H3a: Higher surveillance concerns are associated with higher privacy concerns. H3b: Better perceived state regulation is associated with lower privacy concerns. H3c: Higher information sensitivity is associated with higher privacy concerns.

Na tem primeru sicer vidimo sklop hipotez, a je na povsem enak način potrebno utemeljiti tudi posamične hipoteze.

V kolikor vaše delo ne zahteva hipotez (npr. sistematični pregled literature), v tem delu predstavite raziskovalna podvprašanja (le izjemoma več kot tri).
