, The research scenario:
The research company …
You own a consulting company specialising in social science research. The company is called PsyCom.
You employ a number of social scientists and professional psychologists, but there are also student
researchers who do their practical at the company.
Meeting the client …
You have been contacted by Dr Lukele, the director of the Employee Wellness Division of a company
called PTA Steelworks, to help him solve a problem. You set up a meeting with Dr Lukele.
According to Dr Lukele HIV/AIDS is becoming a serious problem for the company. The average
number of days of sick leave taken per employee has been increasing over the last five years and is
now reaching alarming proportions. The rise in sick leave taken is associated with HIV/AIDS-related
ailments. Therefore, the company now decided to implement an HIV/AIDS Awareness and Support
programme (HASP). The programme is to be implemented throughout the company at all work
levels. To save costs they bought an existing programme (the least costly one they could find) and
tailored it to suit the specific needs of PTS Steelworks. They are ready to implement the amended
programme but would like to get a research consultancy company such as PsyCom on board to
assess the impact of the programme. They are hoping that the programme will improve employees’
conduct with regard to HIV.
Discussing the client’s problem …
At PsyCom every day begins with project meetings to discuss the business of the day. These
meetings are attended by social scientists and psychologists working for the company as well as
student researchers. This morning you chair the PTA Steelworks project meeting to introduce and
discuss the study with the project team. The team consists of two qualified psychologists, Boshadi
and Peter, and three student researchers, Irene, Lesiba and Kobus.
