According to Cho and et.al., (2017) Hospitality industry provide range of services to
their customers and it also implement ways through which the employees will be easily feel
comfortable within a business. In the same way, developing good relationship with the
colleagues will also help to feel them comfortable within a business and they feel that they are

positive working environment is another key factor that also help to creates job satisfaction

In the opinion of Chin(2018) Employee morale is the foremost factor that affect the
overall employee retention rate and that is why, it support to increase the employee turnover rate
as well. In addition to this, the lack of career development is another option that also affect the

overall employee performance because if the employee did not got any career development
opportunities from the company then they start frustrating and it will cause negative impact upon
business.Radwan and Zhu(2017) also argue that poor employee manager relationship is another
factor that assist to increase employee retention such that if there is no positive relationship with
employees then it starts lead to high employee turnover and the bottom line as well.
Al Mamun and Hasan(2017) evaluated that high employee turnover rate creates negative
impact upon the overall business and that is why, HR faces this as a critical issue especially in
the hospitality industry. In the same way, HR of the company faces issue with the same such that
they did not find a best match between the employee’s skill and the job and this, in turn affect the
overall business and employee performance. Further, sometimes, HR of the company did not
provide effective advancement opportunity for advancement of growth and this in turn leads to
increase the employee turnover rates within a business.

P2 Research methodology
Research methodology is consider an important section for the research project because it
help the researcher to select the procedure and techniques which are used to determine, select
and analyze the information related to topic. Also, it is stated that with this section, help the
researcher to critically evaluate the study’s validity as well as reliability in order to attain the
define aim and objectives. There are many key element of the research methodology section such
that:

that:
Research type: To conduct the research in better manner, there are three types of
research which can be used by the scholar such that qualitative, quantitative and mixed. Under
qualitative study, researcher mainly focus on obtaining data through open ended and
conversational communication, on the other side, quantitative study is all about to collect the
quantifiable information and then perform statistical technique in order to attain aim. Further,
mixed research type is all about to conduct the research which involves collecting, analyzing and
integrating the quantitative and qualitative data (Ghauri, Grønhaug and Strange, 2020).
Among all, quantitative study has been chosen by the researcher in which scholar work
with numerical data, which is really essential to do in context of gaining above aims and
objectives of this study. It is chosen by them because it helps to interpret the meaning from all
