Article 1: The relationship between free time activities, emotional intelligence and job
involvement of front-line hotel employees
Quantitative approach to research
Aim : Major aim of this article is to demonstrate overall free time activities which
impacts upon emotional intelligence and job involvement (The relationship between free time
activities, emotional intelligence and job involvement of frontline hotel employees, 2018). Chien
Mu Yeh, who is the writer of the article wanted to look into this issue and to gain appropriate
knowledge as well.
Objective: this article is having one objective which is mentioned beneath: To demonstrate impact of free time activities over job involvement and emotional
intelligence.
Question: on the basis of chosen topic, it is being analysed that using this article for
quantitative approach for conducting investigation properly. Investigator have mainly taken this
topic because free time (into hours) can be calculated to analyse overall time which is attached to
both emotional intelligence and job involvement. It is being found that employees tries to spend
1

their more time as free in working hours and this impacts upon involvement of the individual
towards the job or tasks which is being given by their superiors. In present context, some
questions have been mentioned below:
 How free time activities can impact upon performance, job involvement and emotional
intelligence of staff members while performing their tasks? How average free time can be calculated of an employee in a month?
Main thesis: This section plays a crucial role for conducting a proper quantitative
research which helps in understanding the chosen topic or issue in depth. In present context, the
main problem which was being found under the article was that, in hotel industry most of staff
members uses their own emotional intelligence so that it may impact positively on overall
performance along with it also involves proper influence on job involvement. Here, free time
which an employee mainly carries in a day needs to be used to do meditation so that it can help
individual for getting more involvement in a job.
Methodology: Another section that needs to be presented in overall investigation where
methods of conducting research needs to be used. This should be adopted on the basis of
collection of accurate amount of data related to the topic. In present context, quantitative
research has been utilised for gaining knowledge on set objective and here statistical,
mathematical and computational tools are going to be used for analysing the collected data.
Findings: As given by the auditor (Chien Mu Yeh), it is being found that literature on
human resource management, including organizational behaviour along with tourism
management with practical solutions can help an individual to understand and improve emotional
intelligence and job involvement. Thus, HR manager of business organisations needs to
encourage individuals and try to implement different activities so that job involvement can be
raised with the help of learning, recruitment, performance management, feedback, employee
engagement and employee benefits and many more. Effective enrolment of staff will easily help
a company in improving performance level.

human resource manager of a business company needs to conduct different activities on a regular

recommendation to the human resource manager which are determined as under:

different seminar meetings and should provide training to individuals on the
organisational behaviour so that both emotional intelligence and other things can be
improved in much effective and efficient manner. On the other hand, human resource manager should also try to invite their all
stakeholders in decision making process of implementing proper strategies.
Own comments: On the basis of proper investigation, what I think is employees needs to
focus on meditation and try to practice it when they stay free at workplace. This may easily
improve a number of benefits for the organisation and for employees as well because they may
easily achieve their own goals and objectives as well. On the other hand, I have also
recommended that HR manager needs to develop different strategies so that employees stay
motivated and give full efforts towards job involvement.
