Research methodology
Research methodology is the perticular procedure and proper technique used to
determine, process, choice and analysis data about a topic (Wiek and Lang., 2016). In the
research paper, the methodology sections enable the student to critically assess a study's overall
validity and reliableness.
Research type: qualitative and quantitative
There are two types to researches, qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research
methods focus on meaning and words while the quantitative method focus on the statistics and
numericals. This report will choose qualitative method to conduct this research project.
Research approach: Deductive and inductive
There are plans which helps to collect the data, analyse and interpretation of the data.
There are two kinds of concepts which are Deductive and inductive. Descriptive research gather
data without controlling any variables, while inductive approach concerned with the theories to
collect data and their aim is to generate new theory based data. This project will choose
inductive method.
Research Strategy: Descriptive
Research approaches are the overall plan for conducting the research project. A research
strategy guide the researchers for the plaining, monitoring, the methods of the researches
Data collection : primary and secondary
There are two type of information and data collection method which are used to run
research project. Primary and secondary. Primary researches are new and fresh research data
collected by the researcher while secondary data is already collected by the others researchers

Project management plan (PMP)
PMP
Project management plan is helpful to manage the task it included every element which
are needed to conduct the project (Adams and Berg., 2017). It is important for the researchers to
make the project management plan, so they can successfully conduct the researches on their

topic. This includes cost of the project, risk in the project, range of the projection, resources will
need to the researchers, times will take in the project and in the end quality of the project.
Cost
It is important for the researchers of this task should figure out the estimated cost of the
whole project. They will need money for the researches and make proper plaining for their
project. Without calculated estimated cost of the project researchers cannot be successful in their
project they show know where they will need money and how much (Auspurg, Hinz and Sauer.,
2017). this is also part of the research project and play necessary role. This project on the
Gender pay gap in the workplace of Captify company will need estimated cost of 40000 to do
this project successful.
Risk
There are some risk can be faced by the researchers during the collection of information
about their project. Information collected by the researchers can be wrong and manipulated
which can make their project unsuccessful and their data will not be correct. It is important for
the researchers to use proper sources of the data collection and it will be better they use face to
face interview to conduct their research so data collected by the researchers will be accurate.
Resources
It is important for the researchers to have proper team to make their project successful
because if they will have good team for the project management than they will have a successful
project. It also included the estimate activities resources- researchers should ensure the necessary
resources are available for the project or not, they should ensure the quality of each source to
conduct their research project successful, and they can achieve their project objectives and their
project goals. Manage team- the project team of the company is actively manages to ensure their
production is minimized, and they are satisfied.
Scope
This project will help the students to conduct the researches, and they will understand
how they can conduct the project prop0erly (Bishu and Alkadry., 2017). They will learn new
skills to make any successful research project. Scope of this project is to overcome from the
Gender gap in the Captify company and make their workplace more better and good so
employees can be motivated and give their best to achieve goals and objectives of the Captify

company. This will also increase the productivity of the company, and they can able ton show
their presence on the global level and increase their reputation.
Time
It is important for the researchers to calculate estimated time to complete their project, so
they can complete their project with the time management and solve their problem in proper
time. Times is important they should decide a particular time to conduct the project , time to
implement in the workplace and the final feedback of the project time. A mn0rm,al project need
time of 8 weeks in which this all is included so it should be finished within 8 weeks of time.
Quality
Quality is the one of treble constants of the time period, quality and cost. It is important
for the researchers to understand that if they need better quality project than they will need
proper time for their project and cost as well (Basias and Pollalis., 2018). Because of the inbuilt
nature of the quality of the project's production the quality level should be estimated when the
plaining of the project.
Work breakdown structure (WBS) & Gantt chart
A work breakdown structure is the transportation or the oriented hierarchical
decomposition of the activity to be executed by the companies project group to achieve their
project goals and objectives and make the needed deliverables. A WBS is the cornerstones of
the impressive project controlling, reporting , executing, supervising. This all contained within
the work breakdown structure is to be find out, scheduled and fund.
The work breakdown structure is used to make to establish to understand the scope of the
project. This is a Hierarchical form of the should be done to right-down the deliverable of the
project. Every downward level of the work breakdown structure represent an progressively
detailed statement of the task deliverables (Bennedsen and et.al.,2019). The first two level of the
work breakdown structure determine as a set of formed outcomes that jointly and entirely shows
up the hundred percent of the project range. At each subsequent level, the children of a parent
node jointly and exclusively shows up 100% of the scope of their genitor node. A well work
breakdown structure should have this quality -
Definable – it should be properly described and easy to understand by the project participants.
Manageable- A proper ad meaning full work in the work breakdown structure where pacifistic
responsibilities and employees authorization can be given to a most trustworthy individual.

Estimation- continuance can be estimated in the time needed to accomplished and cost can be
calculated according to the resources needed to complete the project proper and successfully.
Measurable—can be used to measuring progression; has start and culmination dates and
mensurable interim milestones.

Research methodologies (RM)
Research methodology
Research methodology is the proper way which helps researchers to conduct the
researches for their project. It shows the path through which researchers f the project formulate
their problems and their objectives of the project and present their result from the data collected
during the study period (Costa Dias, Joyce and Parodi., 2018). This methodology design also
shows how the research outcomes at the end will be obtained in line with the meeting the
objectives of the study. Research methodology included s research strategy which helps to know
researcher which strategy they should use, research types in which researchers have potion to
conduct their research qualitative and qualitative. Research approaches such as primary and
secondary. In the end data collection and sampling methods for the research.
Research type: qualitative and quantitative
project research types can be characterized as a proper and systematized technological
process of the data collection, and data interpretation. There are two types of methods for the
research which are qualitative and quantitative.
Quantitative- Qualitative researches can be defined infers and resolves problems using the
numbers in the research project. Emphasis is placed on the accumulation of the numeric data,
summery of the data collection drawn on the bases of the numerical data collected by the
researchers of the particular project.
Qualitative- This research types is totally based on the feelings, works and emotions and the
other non-numerical component. This has been write down that information is known qualitative
in their natures if it cannot be analysed by means of numerical methods. Researcher of this
project has used qualitative research method to conduct their research.
Research approach: Deductive and inductive
Research approaches are the program and proper process which belong with the steps of
broad assumptions to elaborateed methods of data accumulation (Cuervo‐Cazurra and
et.al.,2017). Analysis and interpretation. This is based on the nature of the researches problems
which being addresses approaches of data collection and approaches of the data analysis. There
are two types of methods which are deductive and inductive. This research project has use
inductive approach to make this project successful.

Deductive - this approaches conduct with the hypothetical and developing founded on the
existing theory and then designing a research strategy to the best the possibility which was
conduct by the researcher.
Inductive- Inductive approaches are concerned with the new theories which is made by the
researchers of this project. Researcher new theory emerge from the data and the aim.
Research Strategy: Descriptive
Research strategy is the proper plan of the research study which has conduct by the
researcher of this project. This help them, to execute, plan, and monitor the study. Research
methods helps researcher of this project to analyse and collect the data from the questionnaire.
Researcher makes proper questionnaire and conduct this report on the “ gender pay gap” inquiry
project. Researcher has use descriptive research method to conduct this research project
successful-
Descriptive- This research strategy help the researchers to briefly described the characteristics of
the population or the phenomenon which has been studied. (Fletcher., 2017) This research
strategy focus on the what of the research subject rather than the why of the research subject
For example- proper periodic table allow this project researcher to explain the question on the
“Gender pay gap” abut it does not describe what caused the situation of this subject.
Data collection : primary and secondary
Data collection is important method for the project, researcher has collect the data from
the primary researches. They conduct the survey and make the questionnaire on the basis on
“Gender pay gap” in the Captify company. Researcher use this method of data collection
because they get accurate information and new information about the research and also help to
make new strategy for the Captify company to overcome from the “Gender pay gap” problem in
their workplace.
Primary researches- primary researches was conducted by the researchers, and they get proper
and accurate information for their study which has provided them success I their project, and
they were able to achieve their objectives and goals of the project.
Secondary researches- secondary researches are conduct thorough the data which is already
available through the articles and other resources. It is easy and take less time for the researchers
to collect data through this method.
Sampling : Random sampling- 30 employees

Sampling is a the activity used in statistical analysis in which a preset number of
discoveries are taken from a large group. Researcher of this study has taken 30 employees to
conduct this researches (Graf, Brown and Patten., 2018). And they select employees randomly.
There were 30 employees who give their answer in the questionnaire, and they get positive and
negative both result from this study. Employees who participated in this study was randomly
selected and which was right method to get accurate information and the solution as well. This
makes this study successful and researcher able to achieve their objectives and their goals of this
research study.
