Describe how you think the research in the article is useful (e.g., what population is it helping? What problem is it solving?).

Remembering that all research has some error, respond to at least one colleague’s post and comment on how we as social change agents and critical consumers of research can balance the usefulness with the error in the research. Do we throw the research out because of too much error, or is there something useful that it can tell us?

Post a very brief description (1–3 sentences) of the article you found and address the following:

Quantitative Article:

Sallnow, L., Richardson, H., Murray, S. A., & Kellehear, A. (2016). The impact of a new public health approach to end-of-life care: A systematic review. Palliative Medicine, 30(3), 200-211.

This literature review reveals the inspiring results concerning commitment of the community dealing with end-of life care for persons with life-limiting diseases. It encourages the community as a whole to participate in adding the individual. (Sallnow, Richardson, Murrary, & Kellehear, 2016)

1. Describe how you think the research in the article is useful (e.g., what population is it helping? What problem is it solving?).

The research is useful because communities in the public sectors play a huge role in their personal well-being and social care, and the data presented shows the positive influence of this effort within the variety of results dealing with the health of an individual.  Attention is becoming more constructive concerning the demand of the values of the new community health method to many of those approaching the end of life and their relatives and communities. (Sallnow, Richardson, Murrary, & Kellehear, 2016 p. 200-202)

This paper reviews the evidence connected to the effect of a new community health method to end-of-life care, definitely as this relates to determinations to reinforce good deed among communities. (Sallnow, Richardson, Murrary, & Kellehear, 2016 p. 200-203)

2. Using Y=f(X) +E notation, identify the independent and dependent variables.

(In             Independent) End-of-Life-Care = f (community engagement, mobilization, social network development) (Dependent) + Limited Information/Tools Used (Error)

3. How might the research models presented be wrong? What types of error might be present in the reported research?

The standard literature printed is the only distributed literature accessible at this argument on strengthening public achievement and also differentiates by measuring the other proportions as the field develops and increases.  This review went beyond its focal points in which it is therefore possible that the effects concerning the action of the community might be initiated succeeding interferences beneath the added supports which have been lost by the comprehensive importance of this analysis. The tools used to grade was used for the validity of the varied methodologies signified but may have been limited by not using the exact principles to specific practices. (Sallnow, Richardson, Murrary, & Kellehear, 2016 p. 200-209)

Post a brief description of the article.

Sears and Homwvall (2010) sought to investigate the relationship between leader-member exchange (LMX) and the levels of emotional intelligence (EI) for a supervisor and subordinate.  They hypothesized that the similarity level of EI between a supervisor and subordinate plays a significant role in LMX development.  The authors recognized that subordinates in high LMX relationships obtain numerous intangible resources, such as increased support, consideration, and feedback.  They also acknowledged that empirical research has shown that when employees perceive higher levels of LMX, there is a greater likelihood of positive outcomes, including job satisfaction, empowerment, elevated performance, and creativity.

Describe how you think the research in the article is useful.

The research in this article is useful to managers for several reasons.  Based on survey results, the authors concluded that LMX was strongest in relationships where both the leader and subordinate had high EI.  Interestingly, when a supervisor and subordinate both had lower levels of EI, the subordinate still perceived the LMX quality as relatively high.  One implication of the research is that leader and follower EI jointly influences LMX.  Another implication is the value of reinforcing EI skills training for both leaders and followers.  A third implication is that EI plays an important role in the development of leader-follower working relationships in an organization.  Finally, the research implicates that matching a leader and follower with similar levels of EI can enable the two to collaborate in a more effective manner.

Using Y=f(X) +E notation, identify the independent and dependent variables.

The dependent variable (Y) in this research is leader-member exchange.  The independent variable (X) is emotional intelligence.  The research sought to determine how emotional intelligence levels influence perception of LMX quality.

How might the research models presented be wrong?

One particular concern regarding the research is that only 37 dyads were surveyed.  Additionally, all of the study participants were from the same industry (public sector) and organization.  While the study did include two personality control variables (conscientiousness and core self-evaluations), using additional personality control variables, which are closely related to EI, could potentially assist in making a definitive distinction that EI influences the perception of LMX quality versus a personality trait, closely related to EI, being the influencing factor on LMX.
