Moshe Banai, PhD Editor – International Studies of Management and Organization

Definition The word hypothesis (Plurals: Hypotheses) is derived form the Greek word hypotithenai meaning "to put under" or "to suppose“ Hypothesis … is a statement subject to verification … is a guess, but experienced guess based on some facts … is a hunch, assumption, suspicion, assertion or an idea about a phenomena, relationship, or situation, the reality of truth of which one do not know

Definition A researcher calls these assumptions, assertions, statements, or hunches hypotheses and they become the basis of an inquiry. In most cases, the hypothesis will be based upon either previous studies or the researcher’s own or someone else’s observations Hypothesis is a conjectural statement of relationship between two or more variable

Definition Hypothesis is a proposition, a condition or a principle, which is assumed, perhaps without belief, in order to draw its logical consequences and by this method to test its accord with facts that are known or may be determined A tentative statement about something, the validity of which is usually unknown Hypothesis is a proposition that is stated is a testable form and that predicts a particular relationship between two or more variable. In other words, if we think that a relationship exists, we first state it as an hypothesis and then test the hypothesis in the field

Definition A hypothesis is written in such a way that it can be proven or disproven by valid and reliable data – in order to obtain these data that we perform our study A hypothesis may be defined as a tentative theory or supposition set up and adopted provisionally as a basis of explaining certain facts or relationships and as a guide in the further investigation of other facts or relationships

Characteristics Hypotheses have the following characteristics: a tentative proposition unknown validity specifies relation between two or more variables

Functions Bringing clarity to the research problem Serves the following functions provides a study with focus signifies what specific aspects of a research problem is to investigate what data to be collected and what not to be collected enhancement of objectivity of the study formulate the theory enable to conclude with what is true or what is false

Characteristics Simple, specific, and contextually clear Capable of verification Related to the existing body of knowledge Operationalizable

Typologies There are three types of hypotheses Working hypothesis Null hypothesis Alternate hypothesis

Typologies Working hypothesis The working or trail hypothesis is provisionally adopted to explain the relationship between some observed facts for guiding a researcher in the investigation of a problem A Statement constitutes a trail or working hypothesis (which) is to be tested and conformed, modifies or even abandoned as the investigation proceeds

Typologies Null hypothesis A null hypothesis is formulated against the working hypothesis; opposes the statement of the working hypothesis....it is contrary to the positive statement made in the working hypothesis; formulated to disprove the contrary of a working hypothesis When a researcher rejects a null hypothesis, he/she actually proves a working hypothesis

Typologies In statistics, to mean a null hypothesis usually H0 is used. For example, Ho  Q = O where Q is the property of the population under investigation O is hypothetical H0: There is no difference in the smoking frequency between group A (men) and group B (women)

Typologies Alternate hypothesis An alternate hypothesis is formulated when a researcher totally rejects null hypothesis He/she develops such a hypothesis with adequate reasons The notion used to mean alternate hypothesis is H 1  Q>O, i.e., Q is greater than O H1: There is a significant difference in smoking frequency between group A (men) and group B (women)
