Describe Conceptual And Operational Definitions Of Construct

Conceptual and Operational Definitions of ConstructNameInstitutional affiliationAbstractDefining constructs in both conceptual and operational context in critical in research. The reason is that it allows a researcher to conceptualize and measure concepts understudy. The conceptual definition provides a theoretical description of a construct while operational definition provides a measurement or test description of a construct. The paper defines different constructs using both the conceptual and operational definitions. Conceptual and Operational Definitions of ConstructIntroductionConceptual and operational definitions of construct are important in research as it allows researchers to give meaning to constructs or concepts and also transform them into discernible events. Conceptual definitions are basic theoretical definitions that simply describe a construct or concept. On the other hand, operational definitions are specific definitions that define concept or construct in terms of measurements, processes, or tests. Thus operational definitions form the foundation for developing or formulating hypothesis and research questions. This paper provides conceptual and operational definitions of several constructs in relation to specific studies.Attitude towards New TechnologyWang and Wu (2017) conducted an empirical study on the determinants of workers’ attitude
