Section Two: Reasons for choosing this project
Reasons for choosing the project (e.g. links to other subjects you are studying, personal interest,

future plans, knowledge/skills you want to improve, why you feel the topic is important)
There are different reasons for choosing this project, one of them being that this project will help
me in developing new skills such as time management, organizing as well as learn how to gather
data (Bani-Melhem, 2020). This is because data collection is an important part of a research and
hence, by undertaking this research, I will be able to develop my knowledge about the same.
currently, I have very limited knowledge about the whole data collection process as well as the
different methods that can be used for the same. Apart from this, I also have an interest in
research and want to build a career in the same. So, I think that undertaking this research will be
beneficial and help me in enhancing my overall knowledge. This project is based on Talent
Management, which is an important aspect for any organization. And hence, this will help me in
enhancing my overall knowledge about the same. I want to improve my knowledge and this is
also because the skills that I have developed, I will be able to implement the same into practice.
Also, I believe that this topic is also important and not a lot of studies have been conducted on
this topic. One of the other reasons for choosing this project is that I will be able to learn new
skills as well as implement the same in an effective manner (Barreiro and Treglown, 2020). One
of the other reasons for choosing this project is that I want to learn about the role of line
managers and leaders in employee development as well as the different challenges that are
faced by them during the employee development process.
Since there are different sections in a research project such as literature review, methodology as
well as data analysis and hence, this project will help me in learning about all of these and thus
implement the skills as well as knowledge whenever I undertake a research.
Section Three: Precedents and sources
Use of key literature sources and precedents to support your project objectives
This is an important research and thus, while undertaking this, the researcher has ensured that
only reliable sources of information are used for the completion of this report. In order to make
sure that reliable information has been gathered, the researcher has used a questionnaire. A
questionnaire can be defined as a research instrument that consists of a series of questions that
are based on the research topic (Hoang, Wilson-Evered and Lockstone-Binney, 2021). The
respective project is based on analysing the role of line managers as well as leaders in the
process of employee development. The employees are considered to be one of the most
important assets for the overall growth as well as success of the company. Not only this, they
also help the company in achieving its goals as well as objectives in. an effective manner. it is
important for any organization to provide various development opportunities to the employees so

they develop new skills as well as enhance their existing knowledge. The line managers are
responsible for assessing the training as well as learning needs and conduct different training
sessions.
Data collection is an important component of research and helps the researcher in gathering
effective as well as authentic information from the respondents (Minárová, Malá and Smutný,
2020). A questionnaire will allow the research to interact as well as gather the required data from
the participants. Also, there are various challenges that an organization can come across during
employee development. These can include resistance from employees as well as lack of proper
training and development facilities (Parent-Lamarche and Fernet, 2020). Therefore, it can be
said that it is important for the team leaders as well as line managers should ensure that the
employees are satisfied as well as committed to their respective jobs. This will help them in
performing effectively as well as making sure that they help the company in achieving its goals
as well as objectives in an effective manner. It is important to ensure that accurate resources are
used for completing the research in an effective manner. Therefore, it can be stated that there
are different measures that an organization should implement in order to ensure that the
different challenges that are stated above, are overcome. For this research, various online
websites as well as books have been referred in order to gather the reliable data. The
researcher has made sure that the participants of the research are given an option of
withdrawing from the research at any point that they wish to. Also, they were briefed about the
research topic so that they could provide effective responses to the same (Simpson, Robertson
and White, 2020). Therefore, it can be said that by ensuring that only reliable and authentic
information is used in the research, the researcher is able to gain useful conclusions as well as
insights for the same. The respondents were initially briefed about the research to make sure
that they were aware about the same. also, all of the information that was gathered, was keep
anonymous as well as confidential in order to avoid any issues.
