of number of materials such as journal articles, newspapers, online sources and many more.

Methodology Chapter 3
Introduction
It is the chapter that provides the depth understanding about the various tools, techniques and
methods to conduct the research in an appropriate manner. Research methodology is the
significant part of the entire research study which reflects the methods and techniques take for
the conclusion of the research appropriately. This section of the research entails the various
methods utilised for data gathering in which various techniques are taken in use for sampling. It
elaborates the limitations of the research which gives the effective overview of the project of the
research and its techniques. The topic “Best Practices of HR to Gain Employee Commitment in
Information Technology Service Industry” has been chosen for the research paper in which
research design and evaluation plan has been made. The major aim of this section is to define the
research design of the research paper. The description will be given in this section of the research
of the research philosophy, research approach, research design, and research strategy and data
collection method. These techniques are effective to gather the data regarding the topic because
without collection the data, the researcher would be unable to draw the conclusion.

Research philosophy
The role of research philosophy in the research project is wide as it develops the understanding
and awareness of the researcher regarding the concern of the research. A research philosophy is
considered as the belief about how to conduct the research in which data regarding a
phenomenon should be collected, evaluated and used. It is necessary for the research to opt the
appropriate research philosophy because it facilitates to recognize the process of gathering,
analyzing and evaluating the information. According to the chosen research topic, the philosophy
of the research can be distinguished into some kinds such as positivism, interpretivism and
realism philosophy. Positivism philosophy defines the actual information which is completely
based on the statistical information and data. While, realism philosophy is dependent on the
beliefs of human, this is remained in the environment. In the context of Interpretivism
philosophy, it enables researchers to make the effective research by gathering the different views
and opinions of participants. The interpretivism philosophy is taken for use to conduct the
research paper as it helps researcher to access the views and opinions of participants (Schwartz-
Shea & Yanow, 2013). The valid conclusion can be drawn with the help of this method regarding
to the effective practices of HR to attain the employee commitment (Sikora & Ferris, 2014). In
contrast, the chosen philosophy method for this research is not regarding to left two philosophies
that is realism and positivism to handle the research concerns, because there is no requirement to
utilize vastly structured methodology like hypothesis building and verifying, and need of
evaluation of the outcomes on the basis of findings.
The research questions which are mentioned in the chapter of Research Design and Evaluation
should be answered in an appropriate manner. The employee commitment is the effective
approach that facilitates to increase the productivity of the employee in attaining the competitive
