Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of this research is to explore communication experiences in employment processes within the LGBTQ+ community, aiming to identify challenges, positive aspects, and areas for improvement, particularly in public and private sector contexts. By conducting structured interviews with LGBTQ+ individuals, insights into their perceptions, experiences, and expectations regarding employment communication will be gathered, informing strategies to enhance inclusivity and understanding.

The research involves interviewing two participants who self-identify as LGBTQ+ and meet age and employment experience criteria. One participant should be a newcomer to the workforce interested in the public sector, and the other either a new workforce member interested in the private sector or someone with prior work experience interested in the public or private sector. The interviews will be conducted via Zoom or phone, recorded if possible, or otherwise documented through detailed notes, following strict IRB and professional protocols.

Throughout the interviews, participants will be asked about how they perceive employer qualities, advantages and disadvantages of working in the public sector, their experiences with transition and gender identity, and perceptions of communication during employment processes. Their responses will provide qualitative data on the communication dynamics, potential biases, and positive or negative experiences encountered in employment contexts, specifically within the LGBTQ+ community.

The interview report will include demographic details and responses to each protocol item. Additional comments or observations related to the interview process or insights gained will also be documented. The analysis aims to highlight key themes such as discrimination, acceptance, workplace culture, and identity expression, offering a comprehensive understanding of communication issues faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in employment settings.

The final written report should be thorough, well-structured, and adhere precisely to IRB standards, ensuring confidentiality, professionalism, and academic rigor. Proper referencing of scholarly sources on LGBTQ+ employment, communication, and workplace discrimination is essential to contextualize the findings within existing research literature.
