Observing Worklife Balance in My Own Organisation

This presentation discusses the key factors of work-life balance, research strategies, and the advantages and disadvantages of overt research. It also evaluates the implications of insider researchers and ethnography research.

OBSERVING WORKLIFE BALANCE IN
MY OWN ORGANISATION

ABSTRACT
 This presentation has been studied meaning and the participants in different method
of research ethnography.
 Further, the presentation has also evaluated the advantage and disadvantage of overt
research.
 Moreover, the implication of insider researcher has also been analyzed.
 Some key factor such as Workplace stress, rigid working hours, working conditions,
lack of job security and financial compensation have also been analyzed.
 There are some other alternative strategies has also been evaluated.
 Moreover, the flexible research techniques help to get deep understanding about
convection and the social dynamics, culture.

INTRODUCTION
 Research can be defining as the process of collecting the
data from various sources in order to complete the task in
limited frame of time.
 The present study is based on case study of Leah that
wants to complete it business degree and was not able to
complete due to earlier job.

ETHNOGRAPHY RESEARCH
 Ethnography is one of the qualitative researches in which person emerge itself in
an organization or community in order to observe the behaviour.
 Moreover, the word ethnography is to be stated as written report of the
conducted research in which the ethnographer produces afterword.
 It is the flexible research technique which allow to gain deep understanding of a
convection and the social dynamics, culture.
 In addition to this, it involves some ethical and practical challenges. This
research is also originated in the field of anthropology.

ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF
OVERT
 The overt is the one of the research methods where participants have pre informed consent.
 So whatever happens in specific field of research is not the mistake of researcher because all the participants
are performing their research by making aware.
 Overt is the research method which is connected to the subject of “aware” whereas covert method studies
the subject “unaware”.
 In the overt research all the participant are aware which becomes easily to record all the programmes or
events in their presence.

INSIDER RESEARCHER
 Researcher plays important role in success of the topic.
 The insider researcher means collection of data within
the organization, group or community.
 However, the research itself is part of the team.
 While conducting the research Leah has made a diary for
recording the view pints of its employs as it will help
her in identifying the issues faced by them while
managing work life

THE PHENOMENA OF OBSERVATION
 The observation plays very important role in research it
allows the researcher to collect the data buy observing the
situation and behaviour of the participant.
 Moreover, it helps the research in making research most
effective.

KEY FACTORS OF WORK LIFE BALANCE
 Workplace stress
 Rigid working hours
 Working conditions
 Lack of job security
 Financial compensation

RESEARCH STRATEGIES
 For the above scenario the alternative strategy that can be used through
going to college libraries and reading articles.
 Methods of data collection would be purely on the basis of secondary
sources where the individual opinion in form of interview and
questionnaire would not be taken into consideration.
 Moreover, quantitative data techniques would be chosen in form of
charts, graphs, excel sheet so that better picture of the set scenario can be
presented to its users.

CONCLUSION
 From the above presentation it can be summarized that ethnographic research is helpful
in evaluating the own environment.
