Impact of Motivation Schemes on Sainsbury's Employees

This research proposal examines the impact of staff motivation schemes on employee retention, using Sainsbury's as a case study. The introduction highlights the importance of employee motivation for organizational performance, especially within Sainsbury's, a major UK supermarket. The study aims to analyze the impact of these schemes, determine the specific schemes used, and identify any implementation challenges. The proposal includes a literature review covering talent management, the concept and importance of employee motivation, specific motivation schemes (incentives, training, etc.), and potential issues in implementation. The methodology section outlines a positivism research philosophy, a deductive approach, and a survey strategy, employing both primary (questionnaires) and secondary data collection methods. A Gantt chart details the project timeline, and the research will use a probability sampling method with a sample of 40 employees. Frequency distribution analysis will be used to analyze the collected data.
