, This chapter will describe how research question was developed based on the research
background, rationales, and conceptual frameworks for the research. Further, the data collection,
validation and analysis process will discuss along with the study limitations and ethics.



Research Assumption
According to Gelsen (2011), a research paradigm is defined as a set of shared thoughts
and agreements which lead to guide research, identify the problems, and will demystify the
acceptable and proper method. In other words, it refers to logical steps which should be
considered coherently linked to the research question and issue to data collection, analysis, and
interpretation (Hartley, 2004). The two main philosophical paradigms that are going to be
considered are ontology (views about the nature of the world and reality) and epistemology (the
way to acquire knowledge and explain what/how we know) (Oates, 2006). In this study,
commonly ontological questions refer to disaster management, crisis management, pandemics’
various impacts, community leadership, and community engagement. The relevant studies lead
to seeking an answer to the epistemological questions related to the role of community leadership
during COVID-19, especially in South Africa.


Research paradigms
It is not an easy task to find the appropriate research methodology, since the chosen research
paradigm will impact the study’s aim/objectives. The two main known paradigms are
objectivism (positivism) and subjectivism (interpretivism) (Bryman, 2008).


 Objectivism/Positivism
The Ontological position argued the independency of acquired knowledge reality and
their social factors (Gelsen, 2011) regarding empowering the objectivity and neutrality of
the research objective with applied methods by the researcher. Generally, positivist
methods are used in quantitative research methods which were not considered in this
study. There was no hypotheses testing, laboratory, or surveys directly involved in this
study (Leedy & Ormrod, 2013), respectively qualitative data were not manipulated.
