REFLECTIVE ACCOUNT
Mental wealth is about creating positive wellbeing in persons and communities, and
increasing awareness of problems surrounding mental health (Atkinson and et. al., 2020). In
conducted research over metal wealth which is important for me in identifying of employee's
satisfaction towards their job. Through the Gibbs's model, I explained my journey in completing
of research over mental wealth. Gibbs's reflective cycle is an effective model of explaining own
experience of doing work. This is a useful model that includes five steps such as description,
feelings, evaluations, analysis, conclusion and action plan. All these steps will be explained as
below:
Description: I got an effective opportunity for doing research over the topic of mental
wealth i.e. job satisfaction among the employees of steel industry. This study is based on
quantitative research and for this, I applied questionnaire that was effective for me. As it helped
me by providing accurate and reliable information regrading the ways for increasing satisfaction
level of employees towards their job, importance of satisfied employees within steel industry and
impact of job satisfaction on working performance of employees. These are important
information that supported me in completion of full project systematically. I used number of
secondary sources for gathering secondary data such as magazines, books, articles, publication
study etc. These are useful sources for me when I need qualitative information.
Feelings: By doing research project over mental wealth I felt good and motivated
through my tutors. They felt me proud where I need of gathering information from respondents. I
felt at job satisfaction is important for employee because it increase metal wealth at workplace
that turn to effect on business performance and productivity (Carter, Field, Oppermann and
Brearley, 2020). During the collection of data from the respondents, I felt nervous that directly
impacts on my performance that negatively resulted in completion of project in allotted time and
systematic manner. I also felt some issue while conducting this investigation. I faced issue
regarding the time provided for completing current project was not sufficient. This issue
negatively effects over my performance while completion of full project systematically and
successfully.
Evaluations: By performing this study, I evaluate my strong and weak point that effects
on mine while completion of research over mental wealth. I evaluate that, I am excellent in
communication skill, time management skill and many other skills. Communication skill helped

me when I require in gathering of information from the respondents. By communicating all
information about the research aim and objectives to the respondents, I attained research aim and
objectives. My time management skill is also good that supported me in completion of each and
every activity of study within given time period. Therefore, with the help of these skills I easily
completed full project and accomplished aim and objectives of the investigation. I also evaluate
that I am not good in presenting of all information effectively that results in misunderstanding
among responders about the topic. This has negative effect on my performance level when I
wanted to complete all activities of the study in effective manner. I evaluated that, I am lack in
making appropriate decision while selection of appropriate research method, selection of sample
size, evaluation of data through appropriate analytical tool etc. In these situation, I observed that
I am not able in making accurate decision.
Analysis: By performing this investigation, I analysed that due to my time management
and communication skill I easily achieved aim and objectives of the study. I analysed that, if I
don't have appropriate communication skill, I am not able in gathering of information from the
respondents. Therefore, communication skill was effective and useful for me in collecting of
appropriate information or data about the mental wealth from respondents. I also analysed that
when I require secondary data, I needed different number of secondary sources including
articles, magazines, publication study and many others. By using these sources I easily gathered
secondary data that was useful for me in accomplishment of research aim and objectives.
Conclusion: It has been concluded that, by completing this investigation, I required
different methods, skills, techniques etc. These were supported me in performing of this
investigation successfully and effectively. Along with this, it determined that quantitative
research is useful in doing present investigation. Through this research, I increased my
knowledge and understanding regarding the mental wealth and its significance I employee
motivation within steel industry. I recognised that employee satisfaction is significant within
steel industry and also supported them in retaining of employees for longer time. I used
quantitative research for gathering appropriate data regarding the employee's job satisfaction.
This research was effective for me because it provided data in form of numbers or facts that turn
to helped me in accomplishment of aim and objectives within given time period (McIlveen and
et. al., 2020).

Action Plan: This is a last stage of Gibbs's model that helps in improving weak area
effectively. I am not good in presenting data about the study in systematic manner. This impacts
on my performance in negatively. There is requirement for improving my presentation skills. In
order to improve my data presentation skill, there are different ways that must be used by me.
These ways are checking of data, having clear objectives, following visual presentation,
choosing the right chart etc. All these are more effective and essential ways for me in improving
my presentation skill. This will supported me in presenting of entire information regarding the
research aim and objectives to the selected respondents. In order to improve my decision making
skill, I will try to get some arts and culture in my life, develop my programming or language
skills, get social online etc. These are consider more essential and useful ways for me in
improvement of my decision making skill. This turn to impact on my performance level that
results in conducting of further study in appropriate and successful manner (Zeng and et. al.,
2020).
