Introduction (we adjust the last sentence to include all the subtopics in the introduction chapter)
This introduction section covers the organization profile, introduction to the problem, significance of the study to various stakeholders, purpose statement, and definition of key terms.
Organizational Profile (additional information on the history of the organization)
The institution began as a result of a public voting exercise, when residents of the target areas voted to have the Glendale Unified School District introduce a junior college (GCC, About GCC, 2022). The first semester enrolled 139 students who took their classes from the Glendale Union High School. The student population grew quite fast over the first three years of operation, hitting 435 in 1929, with 27 faculty members (GCC, About GCC, 2022). With the help of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) grant and proceeds from a bond election, Glendale Junior college purchased and moved to the current 59-acre site in 1937, and its name officially changed to Glendale Community College in 1971 (GCC, About GCC, 2022). Today, GCC is a dynamic institution of higher learning, with over 25,000 students enrolled in various campuses, including Montrose, Garfield, and Verdugo (GCC, About GCC, 2022).
Significance of the Research (add significance to faculty members)
For the faculty, high graduation rates would be an indicator of high teacher efficacy, which is a measure of how well they execute their instructor as well as mentoring roles to realize the best possible student outcomes (Tschannen-Moran & Hoy, 2001). Studies have associated high teacher efficacy with a range of positive educational outcomes including commitment, enthusiasm, and persistence, which help the organization retain its top talent (Tschannen-Moran & Hoy, 2001). For students, high teacher efficacy enhances outcomes such as self-efficacy beliefs, motivation, and achievement, all of which lead to improved academic performance (Tschannen-Moran & Hoy, 2001).

…study hypothesis in the paragraph immediately before the last)The chi-square statistic on SPSS will be used to measure the relationship between
Intrinsic motivation and whether or not a student is on course to timely completion/graduation (Muth, 2019). At the same time, the researcher will do multiple regression to determine which of the three drivers of intrinsic motivation of the SDT has the greatest influence on the likelihood of timely graduation among Hispanic students at GCC (Muth, 2019). This would provide the management with crucial insights on where to focus their efforts as they seek to improve the target groups graduation. The study hypothesizes that there will be a strong positive association between the level of intrinsic motivation and the likelihood of timely graduation. As such, students who report high levels of motivation will equally report a higher likelihood of timely graduation. Further, the study hypothesizes that generally, Hispanic students will report low levels of intrinsic motivation…

I have been volunteering lately with a church called Rod of God Ministries. I asked the Rod of God what they needed from me and they responded frankly with some embarrassment. "We need someone to clean our toilets." At first I thought the man was joking. Surely he took one look at me and did not see me with a toothbrush scrubbing toilet bowls. When he did not laugh, I knew
