Describe Conceptual and Operational Definitions of Constructs

In this assignment, you are being given a number of constructs. Conduct scholarly research that has been published within the past five years that measures each on these. Based on this, provide a conceptual and at least one operational definition of each construct listed below. Based on the operational definitions, provide a measurement for the variable and explain the level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio) that is generated. Once this is completed, provide a conceptual and operational definition of two constructs you will be measuring in your intended dissertation research.

Rather than present a traditional paper, organize the document by the following construct.

    Attitude toward new technology
    Customer satisfaction
    Self-concept
    Leadership style
    Organizational commitment
    Constructs you intend to measure

Length: Your paper should be between 5-7 pages, not including title and reference page.

References:  Include a minimum of eight (8) scholarly sources.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
