For selection of most appropriate research method for conducting current research work use of research
onion model is made which provides proper justification for selection of most appropriate and suitable set
of research methods:
Research Philosophy- there are four common sets of research philosophy provided by research onion
model which comprises of positivism, realism, interpretivism and pragmatism. Out of these utilisation of
positivism set of research philosophy is seemed most appropriate and suitable for current investigation as it
provides a practical and systematic form and way to lead a study (Serravalle and et. al., 2019).
Research approach – Inductive and deductive are two common set of research approach that could be
applied or used by an investigator from which implication of deductive approach is seemed more justifiable
for current investigation as it provide better scanning and testing of numeric facts along with leading
support to positivism set of philosophy.
Research strategy- there are many forms of research strategies which are applied for effective data
collection like action research, experiments, survey, interview, observation, etc from which use of survey
strategy seemed most suitable for current study. The reason for selection of survey strategy based on the
fact that it provides most easiest and simplest way of data collection with the help of questionnaire.
Choices of method- It is related to the sustained level of information that is collected and gathered by a
researcher in order to conduct and perform complete research over a assigned period of instance. In this
researcher make uses of appropriate resources as with support of this ability to gain authentic outcome is
developed in systematic manner (Shafiee and et. al., 2019). For this research and its investigation
quantitative method of research is used as in this suitable level of information is collected as in this numeric
information is attained as with this valuable ending is resulted in through which achievement and
accomplishment of standardised outcome and target is achieved with better adequateness.
Data collection and analysis- In this the both primary and secondary research is conducted and in relation
to primary research literature review is conducted that provide adequate level of certainty and it is basically
get collected from articles, journals, magazines, financial reports and from many others resources as well.
On the other hand, in terms of secondary data collection questionnaire is conducted that assist to gain
sustained outcome in timely frame.
Sample method- It is a method in which selective sample is collected under which adequate subset is
developed as for this researcher make adequate usage of random sampling method. For the conduction of
this research sample size of 30 respondents is selected.
