To introduce the topic of your master thesis, you should first outline the relevance of the topic from a scientific and societal perspective. Afterwards, you should provide an overview of your work and present the objective of your thesis/research.\nScope: approx. 5 % of the total scope\nTheoretical Background\nIn this section, you discuss the current state of research on your research question. To do so, you should identify the key literature and cite and summarize theories/concepts/models. To identify these, it can be a good idea to look for published reviews and meta-analyses from renowned journals to gain an overview of the topic.\nWhen developing the theoretical background, it is important to focus on the specific topic of your own work and to select specific information from the larger scope of the subject area. The theoretical background serves as an overview of current research findings and should lead to the specific research questions. The structure of this section can be described as funnel-shaped (from the broad to the specific). A common thread is very important here so that readers can follow along easily.\nFor a better structure, you can divide the section into several thematic subsections in which, for example, you discuss the specific literature on the variables/constructs that you want to examine in your thesis.\nThematic subsection: e.g., effects of hybrid work\nScope: approx. 20-30%\n\u000f\nResearch Questions/Hypotheses\nIn this section, you define the central research questio","cbCaik6dSmvtdCw0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik6dSmvtdCw0","docx",38932,"English","# Introduction\n# Theoretical Background\n## Thematic sub-item: e.g. effects of hybrid work\n# Research question / hypotheses\n# Methodology\n## Sample\n## Methods procedure\n## Measuring instruments\n## Analysis\n# Results\n## Research Question/Hypothesis 1\n## Research Question/Hypothesis 2\n# Discussion\n## Theoretical implication\n## Practical implication\n## Limitations and future research\n## Conclusion\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What length should the Summary/Abstract of a master thesis have?\",\"answer\":\"The abstract should be 150–300 words long.
