of enterprise.” A case study on M&S
Research objectives:
 To determine the impact of employee's motivation on success of organisation
 To analyse how motivation influence workers to perform well.
 To determine the major factors that motivate workers. To ascertain the motivational theories that can be use by M&S to motivate workers.
Research Questions
 What is the impact of employee's motivation on success of organisation?
 How motivation influence workers to perform well?
 What are the major factors that motivate workers?
 What are the motivational theories that can be use by M&S to motivate workers?
Research Methodology
This section of research highlight the methods, process, tools and technique utilise by
researcher worker for data collection and analysis. It is very important for investigator to choose
right method as this help in draw valid conclusion and save time as well. In addition to this, it
support in find effective solution of research problem.
Mainly qualitative and quantitative are the two most effective methods that can be opt by
investigator to complete the investigation. Information in figures and numerical data is collected
and analysed by researcher in quantitative research method (Wolf, 2013). This type of data
require to examine in right manner for make reliable conclusion for this right tool require to be
utilise by researcher. In case of qualitative research method, attitude, behaviour and emotions of
respondents is examine by researcher worker for carry out research. Present research project is
based on qualitative method as this support researcher in undertake an in depth analysis.
Data is gather and analyse by researcher in order to deal with research problem and to
find an effective solution. Before choose a method for data gathering, it is essential for
researcher work to analyse the time and cost related with every method. Primary and secondary
are the two major methods of data collection. Available information related with the topic of
research is collected and analyse by researcher in secondary method. Primary method of data
collection help researcher in collect and examine up to date data.

A sample is collected by researcher to carry out research and to collect their views related
with the main topic of research (Dombrowski and Mielke, 2014). This support in collect reliable
data related with the topic and at the same time increase effectiveness of research. Sample
choose by researcher should be appropriate in number as this help in collect useful information
related with the main topic of research.
Plan for implementation
Various activities are execute by individual in order to complete the research. For
complete all activities in time a plan can be develop by researcher. This help in collect the
resources require to complete the research and at the same time provide direction to investigator.
Major activities include in every type of research is given in the following points:
 Determine the research objectives
 Literature review
 Examine the research problem
 Data sampling
 Formulation of research plan
 Collection and analysis of data
