3. METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is such chapter within research which is helpful in data
collection and data analysis so that effective research results can be acquired. There are
various research methods which are used within research and the same are elaborated under
along with their justification (Mohajan, 2018). This is associated with developing the overall
investigation in a manner that research aim and objectives can be accomplished.
Research Approach: Research approach is defined as the cycle which helps in
developing the investigation in systematic manner. Research approach holds higher
importance in order to manage the whole research. There are two types of research approach
such as inductive and deductive (Sekaran and Bougie, 2016). For managing current
investigation researcher has chosen both inductive and deductive approach as these are great
for analysing the research topic which is to analyse regarding ineffective stakeholder
management on organisational productivity. As the research is undertaken with qualitative
and quantitative methods so both these approaches will lead the investigator to explore the
research in-depth and statistical manner.
Research Design: Research design is defined as such research methodology in which
investigator gets such assistance in managing the research in proper manner. There are three

types of research design such as exploratory, descriptive and experimental research design. In
the current research researcher was inclined in showing their interest towards descriptive and
exploratory so that in overall and statistical manner research can be executed (Dannels,
2018). It can clearly be said that these are the methods in which qualitative and quantitative
information can be analysed.
Research Methods: Research method is defined as such research methodology in
which researcher may get assistance in order to gather and analyse research information.
Under research method data collection is regarded as significant method in which data can be
collected through two types such as primary and secondary methods. Under the current
investigation the researcher has chosen both the methods of data collection so that to attain
research aim and objectives (Chu and Ke, 2017). For accumulating of first-hand information,
primary data has been chosen by researcher as the data collection method as this is associated
with giving accurate information to the research topic. Questionnaire is used so that to
acquire raw information and to simply attain research objectives. On the other hand,
interview is also used in order to get detailed information related with research topic. In terms
of secondary data methods books, journals and other articles are used.
There are two types of research methods such as qualitative and quantitative that can
be used by researcher for developing the research. In the current research, researcher has
relied on quantitative and qualitative information so that to manage the research. Under this
quantitative research is taken so that to get statistical information and qualitative research is
used for gathering detailed information related with research topic.
Research Participants: Sampling is considered as the process which is helpful for
researcher in order to select respondents in systematic manner so that research can be
executed in effective and efficient manner. There are two major methods that can be used by
researcher such as probability and non-probability sampling (Largent and Lynch, 2017).
Under the current research probability sampling is used by researcher in which 30
respondents are selected for questionnaire and 3 respondents are selected to conduct
interview.
4. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are different ethical principles which are required to be undertaken so that to
manage the investigation in appropriate manner. Some of the ethical practices are such as
informed consent; protect anonymity, managing confidentiality, avoiding use of deceptive
practices, giving right for respondents to withdraw their name from investigation.
