commitment, and level of energy that is used to understand roles and perform well. This is most
important for organizations to motivate their employees by understanding their problems and

motivation is the alignment that can be seen to attain organizational objectives. In relation to
Tesco, staff motivation is needed as it is used to reduce employee turnover and encourage people
to work for long periods. This can help to manage all functions and activities of a business
organization by focusing on employee's demands and fulfilling it properly. The management of
the selected organization can enhance business succession opportunities as it reduces cost,
increases productivity, manages all activities, and encourages people to work more. The
management should use effective motivation schemes for the purpose of motivating their staff
and getting work done effectively. Similarly, for developing business competencies staff
motivation schemes can be used as these will be useful for the business to acquire success and to

their own perception and reality. In relation to current research positivism, philosophy will be
used by research because of assuming knowledge.
Research approach – This means a researcher should be focused on appropriate research
that can help to manage all data. This considers the inductive and deductive approaches. The
deductive starts with hypothesis literature review based development whereas, inductive are used
in observation and new theory. In relation to current research, the deductive approach will be
used by the researcher.
Research strategy – This can be a device as planning and strategy formulated by an
individual to collect information. Action research, interview, survey, and case study are effective
strategies. In relation to current research, a case study strategy is used by a researcher that can
help to gather information (Guest, 2017).
