The central node of the mind map indicated about the research problem and this was
related to low motivation level in staffs at the Shopsmart whole sale pharmacy. The main
research question is related to what are the cause of low motivation in staffs at the pharmacy.
The nodes representing the causes of research problem gave idea about the cause of boredom,
unpleasant co-workers, poor communication, poor performance castigation,
micromanagement, lack of progress, job insecurity and low confidence in leadership (Pinder,
2014). Given below are the details of the research method that will address the research
question:
Boredom: No innovation and monotonous work routine affects performance of employees
(Mitchell 2013). The research by Tolentino et al. (2014) gives more insight into this factor by
means of quantitative research method.
Unpleasant co-workers: Ng and Feldman (2014) explains that poor vision and no
professional goals lead to low morale in staffs. Qualitative research methods by means of
systematic review can give detail about the different cause of low motivation.
Poor communication: Schiemann (2014) gave the indication that from talent management to
talent acquisition, everything is dependent on effective communication. This can be tested by
randomized controlled trial in two different groups.
Poor performance castigation-
Micromanagement: Micromanagement is regarded as a factor for demotivation in staffs
because it leads to decreased growth potential. Although it is advantageous in short term
situations, however in long term it may lead to low employee morale and high staff turnover
(Kumar et al. 2015). The research method to answer this question may include qualitative
research method.
