Introduction
The research proposal is based on the motivation of the staff in any organization and
the importance of the staff motivation. The selected organization was Saint Lucia and
emphasizes on the fact that the motivation among the staff members drives the rate of
improvement and also increases the expectation rate (Farr & Cressey, 2015). The facilities
and the service that has been provided by this organization helps the individual to get a
healthy lifestyle by fighting through a number of diseases. The most important role is played
by the management and the leaders of the organization who have a crucial role in the
motivation of the staff in order to meet the demands of the patients (Goetz et al., 2015).
There are a number of theories that support this increasing growth via the approach of
motivation and the most common example is the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs that directs
the healthcare staff and personnel for motivation. The issue that is being faced by the
organization are due to the lack of motivation among the staff members. Thus, the research
proposal had the research objective to analyze the impact of the motivation of the staff
members on the productivity of the Saint Lucia. It is important to motivate the staff of the
healthcare organization in order to deliver the patients the facilities that has been promised to
them. It can lead to the deterioration of the health conditions of the patients and the critical
patients can even face risk of life (De Simone, 2015). The dissatisfaction among the workers
and the need of motivation are due to some factors that are highlighted include long hours of
working, high workloads, and less number of leaves.
The research proposal had the objective as it is significant in focusing on the
connection between the motivation of the staff and the rate of productivity. The research
methodology that has been used for the assessment of the data involves abductive research
approach that is the sum of deductive and inductive approach. Hence it gives the proposal

both data to theory and theory to data approach (Goetz et al., 2015). However, for this
research proposal the inductive approach is found to be suitable as all the information will be
gathered and analyzed together which will provide a clear understanding of the topic.
Validation of research tool
The primary research tool that has been used in the research proposal involves
inductive approach that is also known as the inductive reasoning. It generally starts with the
observations and the theories are proposed in the end as an outcome or result of the
observation. It involves the development of the theories via a series of hypothesis
(Graneheim, Lindgren & Lundman, 2017). This approach of research methodology is
important in order to generate the meanings of the data that has been collected that will help
in the identification of the patterns and relationships that will ultimately help in the making of
the theory. It is generally based on the various learning experience.
It starts with a detail observation that gives generalized observations and results. It is
also referred to as the bottom-up approach in order to know the way in which the researchers
have used to describe the phenomenon (Finfgeld-Connett, 2014). As the research proposal
focuses on the effect of staff motivation in the healthcare organization it is important that the
researchers’ uses the inductive approach of data collection so that after gathering all the
required information the researchers can analyze the outcomes and then can link the results to
certain theory that will form the basis of the research objective.
Inductive approach is usually associated with the qualitative method of data collection
as well as the analysis of the data. As it is well known that in today’s healthcare system it is
important to use the qualitative research as it is easy to assess as well as to improve the
quality of care. The most commonly used theory is the grounded theory that is a type of
inductive approach and that helps in the generation of the observations from the data. It is

valid to use the inductive approach in this theory as it helps in the generation of the results
from the factors that are closely related to lack of motivation for the staff members
(Chapman,Hadfield & Chapman, 2015).
It gives the clinician the proper skills to review the studies using this methodological
approach. Inductive reasoning usually demands a lot of background information that helps in
the generation of the research hypothesis and the linking of the theories to the results of the
research proposal. Inductive research approach is used for the analysis of the qualitative
evaluation of the collected data (Gale et al., 2013). The general inductive approach is used as
that provides an easy and systematic group of procedures for the analysis of the qualitative
data. This can provide results and outcomes that are valid as well as reliable.
The general inductive approach is not as strong as the other analytical approach but it
provides a simple, and straightforward approach to produce the reliable results in the context
of the research questions. Thus, it is also valid to use the inductive research approach as that
is less complicated than the use of the other approaches for the analysis of the qualitative
data. The use of the inductive analysis will help in the use of the detail findings of the raw
data in order to derive certain concepts by the researchers (Moreno-Conde et al., 2015). Thus,
the main aim of the inductive approach is to permit the research results from the raw data to
emerge as a set of theories without any kind of restraints. The general inductive approach of
research methods helps the researchers to have a more general and convenient method. Hence
due to these reasons it is generally used by the researchers for the analysis of any kind of
qualitative approach.
Data collection (both primary and secondary)
In this research proposal it has been mentioned that both primary and secondary data
will be collected by using this research methodology and in the process it would help the
