WRITING STATEMENT

OF THE PROBLEM
Step 1

Step 1 (Statement 1): Describe a goal


or desired state of a given situation,
phenomenon etc. This will build the
ideal situation (what should be, what is
expected or desired)
Step 1 (EXAMPLE)

Step 1 (Statement 1):

In order to accomplish their missions,


public universities need motivated
workforces.
Step 2

Step 2 (Statement 2): Describe a condition that


prevents the goal, state, or value discussed in
Step 1 from being achieved or realized at the
present time. This will build the reality or the
situation as it is and establish a gap between
what ought to be and what is.
Step 2 (EXAMPLE)

Step 2 (Statement 2):


There are, however, frequent and severe disciplinary
actions, absenteeism, as well as various forms of
unrest in public universities which affect the
accomplishment of the set missions. Our preliminary
investigation reveals that both non-management and
management staff are under motivated.
Step 3

Step 3: Connect steps 1 and 2 using a


connecting term such as "but,"
"however," “unfortunately,” or “in spite
of.”
Step 2 and 3 (EXAMPLE)

Step 2 and 3 (Statement 2):


There are, however, frequent and severe disciplinary
actions, absenteeism, as well as various forms of
unrest in public universities which affect the
accomplishment of the set missions. Our preliminary
investigation reveals that both non-management and
management staff are under motivated.
Step 4

Step 4 (Statement 3): Using specific details,


show how the situation in step 2 contains
little promise of improvement unless
something is done. Then emphasize the
benefits of research by projecting the
consequences of possible solutions.
Step 4 (EXAMPLE)

Step 4 (Statement 3):


Without effective motivational packages and
procedures, the said vices are likely to continue and
retard the achievement of the universities’ missions.
Thus, there is a need to examine the public
universities’ motivation systems and procedures,
which is the aim of the proposed research.
