The function of operationalization is to translate abstract concepts or variables into measurable and observable variables that can be empirically tested and analyzed. It involves defining and specifying a clear set of indicators or measures that can be used to assess and quantify the concept being studied. This process helps researchers to operationalize their research variables and make them more objective and measurable, thereby facilitating the research process and allowing for clearer and more valid conclusions to be drawn from the data collected.
