and hospitality industry in Sydney.
Research Design
The research hypothesis or questions determine the research design to be adopted, the
kind of data to be collected and their analysis. According to (Brotherton, 2015) while developing
a research design, it is important to determine whether the chosen design would enable one to
collect data to answer the research questions. A number of research designs have been
developed, which can be chose by a researcher. Some of the research designs are ideal for
deductive research process, while others are ideal for explorative research. The proposed
research study will seek to explore the factors that influence hotel and hospitality employee
performance in Sydney. The data to be collected will relate to employee training, management
leadership and compensation and how they influence the performance of employee within the
hotel and hospitality sector. As a result, the paper seeks to use qualitative research methodology
in the collection of the research data.
Many research designs can be used to study hospitality problems. According to (Hair,
2015) research designs can be grouped as descriptive, exploratory or causal. The descriptive
research design, which has been chosen for this study, it is used to develop a better
understanding of a phenomena (Reid & Bojanic, 2010). In the proposed research study, the paper
seeks to better understand the influence of training, management leadership and remuneration on
employee performance in the Sydney hotel and hospitality industry. However, this can only be
achieved with an appropriate research methodology, which is qualitative research method.
