Title: The role of line managers and leaders in employee development and
well-being within hospitality industry.
Research Methodology
Research Methods
A research can be conducted into two main bases, that are primary and secondary one.
Here, using focused group-discussion, survey, self-questionnaire methods etc., are used under
primary research, where researchers observed on every data and apply statistical techniques to
conclude result. While secondary research is done on reviewing the past collected data and
summarising detailed information into brief, to address issues of current project. This method
takes as comparison to primary one, less time with minimum efforts. But it doesn't provide
accuracy and reliability of research outcomes. Therefore, considering importance of both
methods, under present research, data is collected by using primary and secondary sources.
Research Approach
In order to gather information, two main approaches are generally applied that are
qualitative and quantitative, that helps in gathering information as per requirement. Under
qualitative approach, researchers get advantages to collect theoretical information and analyse
them via inductive analysis method. While quantitative approach is applied for gathering
information that can be represented in numerical form, which further analysed by using
deductive analysis. In context with present project, as it is based on managers' role in employee
development, therefore, mixed approach method is applied for investigation, which includes
concepts of both qualitative and quantitative techniques.
Sampling
As conducting report on a wide topic creates difficulties for a research when primary
investigation is taken, therefore, sampling techniques helps in selecting a small sample from a
chosen group of population. This would help in easily apply primary methods like self-
questionnaire, group-discussion and more, on small sample and taken their views for further
procedures. In this regard, random sampling method is used under present research, for selecting
a sample of 30 respondents from stakeholders of Marriott Hotels.
