Chapter 2: Literature Review
The literature review is the systematic process applied for the collection of secondary data.
There are various sources that are essential in gathering secondary information including,
articles, books, magazines, publication research and many more. The main aim of the literature
review in the research project is to identify the research gap. Within a current study, the main
gap is the importance of human resource management in the enhancement of organisational
growth. In previous studies, there were lots of data available regarding the role of human
resource management within an organisation, but there was missing information about the
effectiveness of HRM in organisational growth. This is the main gap, and for addressing this,
research questions are used as below:
The main HR practices used by Piccadilly
According to Chai (2020), HR practices includes recruiting, hiring, deploying and
managing employees of an organisation. The main purpose of HRM is to help an organisation in
the attainment of goals and objectives by giving and maintaining productive employees. There
are different functions of HRM such as planning, organising, directing, controlling, development,

efficient use of HR in order to improve organisational performance and growth. This is a set of
organisational activities directed at developing, attracting and maintaining a talented workforce.

impact on the business performance and growth of Piccadilly.
HR strategies for reducing employee turnover.
As per the opinion of Agarwal (2021), this is the role of human resource to manage their
workforce that is only possible by reducing turnover at the workplace. There are different ways
that are effective in managing of workforce along with reducing employee turnover. These ways
are explained below:

workplace. This is the role of HR within Piccadilly London West End to communicate all
information about business in a clear and accurate manner. This turn to impact in the reduction
of misunderstanding or conflict among employees that result in the reduction of employee
turnover.

managing the workforce and reducing high employee turnover. With the help of training, the
company can easily increase the knowledge of its employees that turn to impact the enhancement

philosophies are known as pragmatism and interpretivism. These are essential, but according to
the topic, pragmatism is an essential research philosophy (Cowan, Clayton and Bochantin, 2021).
The biggest reason regarding the selection of pragmatism philosophy is it facilitate investigator

maximum resources and cost.
Research approach: There are two significant approaches to data analysis which are
inductive and deductive. According to the current project, the deductive approach is a chosen
approach because it supports the evaluation of primary data easily and timely.
Research choice: There are two essential choices of the research, which are qualitative and
quantitative. These are effective within a research because it helps investigator in gathering of
qualitative as well as quantitative data (Hastuti and Timming, 2021). Therefore, quantitative
research choice assist researcher in getting reliable outcomes within the minimum period of time.
Whereas, qualitative research helps in collecting of information from books, articles etc. sources
for literature review.

sampling method, 40 employees of Piccadilly London West End are selected on a simple random
sampling basis. One of the main purposes regarding using probability sampling is it facilitates
larger sample selection in a minimum period of time (Al‐Ghazali and Afsar, 2021).

right to withdraw, protect of confidentiality and anonymity of participants and many others.
These are the main principles that should be followed by the researcher within a research project
(Hitka and et al., 2021).

28

CHAPTER 5: A CRITICAL APPRAISAL, RECOMMENDATIONS &
SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER WORK
It has been determined from the primary and secondary methods of data collection that
human resource management is an important part of organisational growth and success. There
are various roles played by HRM such as planning, organising, recruitment and selection,
training and development etc. These are effective roles of human resource manager and helps
business organisation in the improvement of their growth and success. This information
identified from the secondary sources, i.e. books, articles etc. and primary method, i.e.
questionnaire. Along with this, the HR manager helps the company by reducing high employee
turnover and also assists them in increasing profitability. Therefore, both types of information
are related to each other that turn to impact the attainment of each objective successfully. There
are some recommendations to the Piccadilly London West End in the reduction of high employee
turnover and improvement of organisational growth.
Recommendations
Piccadilly London West End must provide training to their employees because it will help
them in improving employee’s knowledge that result in the reduction of high employee turnover.
With the training, Piccadilly London West End can easily attain its long term goals and
objectives in a successful manner. Piccadilly London West End should use internal and external
sources of recruitment because it will help them in selecting diverse employees that results are

Limitations of the research
There are various limitations of the research such as lack of time, lack of cost, lack of
previous studies on the topic etc. These are major limitations of the research that has a direct
impact on the investigator during the completion of each activity of research in the given time
period. Therefore, in order to overcome these limitations, the questionnaire was developed by the
researcher (Lawler and Boudreau, 2020). This is a method of data collection that facilitated
investigator by saving their time and also providing valid outcomes.
Suggestions for further work
28

It is important for the investigator to use alternative research methodology if they get
another chance of doing further investigation. This is a recommendation for the researcher to use
the interview method as an alternative research methodology (Norani, 2021). By using this
method, the researcher becomes able to developing open-ended questions that result in the
collection of qualitative data in the minimum period of time.
28

CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSION
From the above-mentioned information, it has been concluded that HRM in the workplace
support in improvement of business operations and growth. There are different roles of HRM
analysed from the primary and secondary method such as recruitment and selection, training and
development, talent management and performance appraisal. These roles helped an organisation
in the improvement of their organisational growth and success. There are various benefits of
having human resource management at the workplace, such as retaining top talent, improvement

facilitate the company in improving its business performance.
Along with this, there is a number of ways identified that facilitate in improvement of
organisational growth, i.e. increase employee's motivation and satisfaction, retain employees for

REFLECTION
I am glad for getting a chance to conduct a research project on the role of human resource in
employee retention and organisational performance. I used different types of methodologies for
collecting information regarding the topic and meeting of research objectives. These
methodologies are positivism philosophy, deductive approach, quantitative research choice,
questionnaire and many others. All these are useful methodologies for me because, with the help
of these, I easily attained research aim and objectives. I used a questionnaire for collecting
primary and quantitative data. This helped me in the achievement of each objective in a
successful manner. By conducting this research, I improve my knowledge regarding the role of
28

human resource in the retention of employees and its benefits in the improvement of
organisational performance. Along with this, I faced certain challenges while carrying out this
research project. These challenges are lack of time, unethical behaviour of respondents etc.
