Chapter Two: Literature Review
2.1 Introduction of Literature Review
This section forms a vital part of a research project that facilitates better evaluation and
analysis of fast facts and funding to set a foundation and agenda for investigation to accomplish
set objectives (Bamel, Paul and Bamel, 2018). Following literature review is based on the topic
of Behaviours that lead to impartiality and multiplicity for which various online articles and
journals are review a discussion of which is provided below in main body.
2.2 Main Body
To get an in-depth knowledge about the Behaviours that support equality and diversity in the
workplace along with their need and importance for an organisation
As per the opinion of Louise Petty, 2016, behaviours that support equality and diversity

discrimination free atmosphere where no biasness or favoritism is lead out on the basis of sex,
gender, culture, religion, age, background, color or any other personal or physical aspects. It has
2

been further evaluated that, behaviours that lead to impartiality and multiplicity are crucial and
needed by organisation as these are the elements that creates better employee engagement and
support reduction in staff turnover that is vital for an orgnisation to retain its skilled workforce
for a wider period of time to ensure accomplishment of all set targets and objectives on time

Chapter Three: Methodology
3.1 Research Approach
There are mainly two types of research approach that consist of deductive and inductive
approach among which use of Deductive approach is adopted for current investigation in Jaguars
cars on the basis of nature of research project (Gotsis and Grimani, 2015). The selection of
deductive approach is justifiable as it lead to better scan and evaluation of set objectives and also
leads significant support for quantitative resrch method.
3.2 Research Strategy/Methods
The strategy adopted for current investigation is survey that allows collection of huge data
through implication of a finest and economical research strategy. Further, out of two most vital
research method i.e. qualitative and quantitative method, use of quantitative is adopted for
current investigation to ensure collection of data in measurable form in terms of number that
could be easily presented and also lead to draw a valid conclusion (Lee, 2018).
