EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION3Impact of shift work on employee satisfactionThe research methodology outlines every component of the research from the introduction; research methods; methodology; population, sampling techniques, population sample; data collection; data analysis; ethical considerations; and the limitation of the research. 1.0 IntroductionThis study employed a qualitative research design. In-depth interviews were held withfive-star hotel employees to determine the impact of shift work on employee satisfaction in the hotel industry in Australia (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). The descriptive method was used since the researcher sought to describe the perception of hotel staff on the impact that shift work has on their job satisfaction. Purposive sampling was used. Observation, transcription and interview were used for the collection of praimary data. The data was then analysed usingopen coding and axial coding. The study was conducted in Sydney, Australia. The study sampled five-star hotels in Sydney. The management at the hotels was approached, and their consent sought to interviewthem and some of the middle and lower level employees. A population sample was determined from the popluation of employees through stratified random sampling. Even though the population was large, the selected ssample comprized of 36 respondents. Due to time constraints, some of the respondents were interviewed using phone calls and email. Five respondents were interviewed each day for about 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Data from the questionnaire and observations were collected and stored for analysis.
EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION42.0 Research MethodsThe study used qualitative approaches to answer the research questions. Qualitative research was used because of its appropriateness in handling small samples, though its findings are not quantifiable (Spradley, 2016). The advantage of the qualitative research is that it allows the researcher to carry out a complete description and analysis of the subjects under study, without limits in the scope of the study and how participants respond to the interview questions (Zikmund, Babin, Carr, & Griffin, 2013).2.1 MethodologyResearch methodology is the systematic approach of data collection and analysis. Themethodology describes the research philosophy, the research approach and the research design. For a qualitative research, interviews of the relevant cadres and individuals are vital (Pogrebin, 2003). Interviews allow the researcher to collect valuable information that will impact the findings and conclusion of the study. Research PhilosophyResearch philosophy highlights the process of information gathering and systematic analysis. Philosophy is important in understanding the research questions to choose the right research methods and strategy. This research used the positivism since it supports the acquisition of knowledge through scientific analysis of findings (Chiang & Hsieh, 2012). Positivism relates the findings of the study to the conclusion and gives no chance to manipulation of data. Valid analysis is achieved when the respondents can be successfully associated with their responses.Research ApproachThe research approach describes the theoretical patterns of data analysis. The approach of the research is influenced by the research questions and objectives of the study
