INTRODUCTION
The file is about research proposal which includes methodology and research approach. A
research proposal is the document which proposes a research project which is in form of sciences
or academia and constitute a request for research sponsorship. The organisation being taken in
the case study is Marks and Spencer. Marks and Spencer is a retail company which deals in
personal care products operating at UK and has a large employee base. The file discusses about
the aim, objectives, rationale of the topic, research methods being used, design of the approach,
participants in the topic, the sampling method used, the validity and reliability of the project. The
file does a data analysis to analyse the data regarding research.
Research proposal
Title: Impact of employee motivation on performance
Rationale:
The topic has been selected to assess how employee performance improves with motivation
sessions of the company. There are guest speakers invited by corporates and the research shows
how they infuse enthusiasm and impact the employees. The type of leadership affecting
motivation and assessment of other factors of how they affect employee motivation has been
done (Runco and Beghetto, 2019).
Aim:
The parameters which affect employee motivation and performance and impact in data terms.
Objectives:
a) To assess employee motivation on performance.
b) To measure the increase in performance of employees with regard to past performance.
c) To identify the factors which cause an increase in performance.

Methodology:
Approach: The research approach chosen here is qualitative. The qualitative research involves
collection and analysing the non-numerical data which is required to understand concepts, ideas
and experiences. It is used to gather insight in problem or about generating ideas of research.
This approach is required here as motivation is a more of psychological term rather than a
calculative one and thus the quality of motivation being given to the employees can be gauged
through the conversation with them.
The other research approaches are quantitative as well as mixed methods research. The
quantitative research is an approach for examining the relation between variables. Mixed
methods is an approach which involves collection of both quantitative and qualitative data which
integrates the two forms of data and designs that involve different assumptions and frameworks
(Runco and Beghetto, 2019).
Design: It is the framework of research methods and techniques used by researcher. There are
three main types of research design: Data collection, measurement and analysis. The methods
being used in the file are data collection and analysis. The improvement in performance of
employees will be collected in form of data to be compared with that of previous performance.
Measurement is Analysis of data is done to study and understand the impact which was created
due to motivation factor and how the key performance indicators show the growth of the
performance when employees were motivated.
Methods: The methods for research generally used are both primary as well as secondary.
Primary research is the one which is collected from sources directly such as doing interviews,
filling up of feedback forms, asking questionnaire to people and filing them for their views and
opinions. Basically, these methods are implemented at the institution itself. These methods
require time, some funding and can be claimed done by the owner itself (Lee, 2018).
Secondary research is the research done through taking information from websites, taking views
online. Apart from this, research conducted through books and other publishing material comes
under secondary research. Secondary research is basically taking of ideas and information from
where already research is done.
