Title: To investigate the role of employee motivation in improving organizational
productivity. A study on Sainsbury’s.
TASK 1
Week 1: Introduction to Research
Employee development is described as an employee's passion, energy level, devotion,
and quantity of innovation brought to the organization in the long term. Motivated employees
are very important to any firm, and their success is directly proportionate to their motivation.
Motivation is ethereal, hard to measure, and exceedingly tough to regulate, but if done
correctly, it is quite easy to assist (Eshkulovich and Tashbaevich, 2020). It all comes down to
aim, energy, and tenacity. Current research is based on analysing the role of employee
motivation in improving organizational productivity as it provides vast knowledge about how
motivated employees assist company in attaining their targets in stipulated time frame. For
this research, as a researcher I have set research aims and objectives that help me in gathering
authentic data. In order to take accurate decision, SMART objectives need to be developed as
it provides specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. With the assistance of
this, investigator can analysis the topic and gather reliable information.
Research aim:
The main aim of this research is “To investigate the role of employee motivation in
improving organizational productivity. A study on Sainsbury’s
Research Objectives:
 To analysis the impact of employee motivation on organizational performance in
upcoming 2 months.
 To determine the different motivational techniques to motivate employees at
workplace of Sainsbury’s in next 30 days.
While undertaking research various issues can be arise that may create negative
impact over the end results. In this, lack of time, resources, unethical behaviour of
respondents and many more. All these are the major issue that may create complexities in
gathering authentic data on the basis of employee motivation.

Employee motivation play a crucial role in business organization as it provides
assistance to company in improving the organizational growth (Ponce and et. Al., 2021).
Thus, it is crucial for manager of company to provide proper motivation and encouragement
to employees so that they can give their best efforts and attain their determined goals and
objectives. Along with this, both employee motivation and organizational productivity is
interrelated with each other. If manager provide proper rewards and encouragement to its
workers then they perform well and also improve overall performance of business
organization. For attaining the same, manager of company also uses motivational theories and
methods to motivate their employees. This will directly contribute in attaining competitive
growth at market place.
Week 2: Types of Data in an Organisation
While undertaking research, it is significant for researcher to gather reliable data on
the basis of specified research topic and specified area of interest. For collecting data,
researcher use different methods and tool to gather data and information. In this, primary and
secondary method will be used to acquire detailed and authentic information. As, it helps in
taking valid and reliable decision at the end of the investigation. By using primary method,
researcher prepare a questionnaire that includes open-ended questions that may assist in
gathering measurable information (DePoy and Gitlin, 2019). On the other side, secondary
method of data collection is also used to acquire detailed and theoretical information to draw
a valid conclusion. Along with this, all the aspects including data, knowledge and information
are different from each other’s because data is collected from specified human participants as
per their awareness and understanding. Knowledge is acquiring from different aspects like
any kind of educational activities and other hand information is all about related with already
published aspects. Basically, data is easily transforming into information with this help of
assigning a specific meaning or context. The main advantage of using primary method is that
it provides authenticity and specific nature of data towards selected topic. Other side, it is
also a very time consuming and cost consuming as well. Furthermore, information is much
more refined data that evolved to the point of being useful for some analysis. On the other
side, knowledge is happened by human experience and applied to data and any kind of
information. It is based on already existing data based on previous study. Apart from this, the
drawback of this study is that researcher face difficulty in obtaining information towards
specific needs.
