For this week's question, I broke the queries down by themes that included theoretical foundations, Workplace ethical decision making, and ethical decision making and leadership. Several of these works will continue to support and build on the research for my dissertion.

Theoretical Foundations:

The first query conducted aligned with the theoretical foundation that will undergird my dissertation. In this case, the query conducted included (sensemaking and ethical decision making). This was conducted in two different databased. First was an empiracle article by Mumford at al. (2008) and the second a dissertation by Reynolds (2002)

The second query for dissertation was simply (ethical decision making) and yielded 127 results to which Susong (2013) was selected for ethical decision making in the workplace and consisted of a qualitiative study.

Ethical decision making and leadership:

While examining the query of (ethical decision making and leadership) a dissertation of interest included Craft (2013) and an empirical article by Heyler et al. (2016)

Conducting a search trying to identify the best literature for my topic of interest is not an easy task. Four words that I have utilized in identifying relevant literature for my dissertation topic are, cultural competency, leadership, healthcare, and Latinos. As I combined these words to make a search I'm able to generate many articles and studies that could potentially be good sources for my study. Utilizing the GCU library has been a very resourceful tool, however I understand that in order to conduct a more comprehensive study and identify the latest literature on my topic I will need to utilize other academic search engines and databases. Yielding valid academic sources utilizing the GCU library was not an easy task. Once you begin to use the filters and narrowing the search, the amounts of studies begin to dwindle to a few. Therefore, its important to combine key words to generate different searches and narrowing the literature that will useful to my dissertation topic.
