As part of your Doctoral Study Proposal, you will articulate the potential ways in which your proposed research project will positively affect social change. Keeping your goals in mind, and thinking about the literature that you have reviewed, you should be able to formulate a clear statement of the problem you have identified for your doctoral study research. Recall that a research problem worthy of a doctoral study must be broad enough to be significant to others outside your immediate school community. It must also be specific enough, however, that a research project can be designed to examine it.

Discuss how your research problem is sufficiently significant to be of interest to leaders who have a goal of positive social change.

My general problem statement is below:

The general business problem is the hiring process must be well assessed so that better employees with the right skills can be hired. Human resource managers have had a lot of challenges in hiring a skilled labor force that negatively impact productivity.
