INTRODUCTION
Background of the study
Transformation at workplace design has to change and adopt to meet evolving the workplace
strategies and drive the organization growth. A workplace transformation is also rethinking
about the flexible workspaces to accommodate the various kinds of technology, workers and
work. While this also keep the need to accomplish the unstructured, highly collaborative and
complex. Along with this also required to need flexible workspaces that support the both
focusing without having distraction and collaborating in creating the teams (Selimović, Pilav-
Velić and Krndžija, 2021). Organization which must appeals the younger generation at seeking
work balance, seamless technology and inspiring the workspaces. This might be also important
for knowing about how this could be required to seek the candidates from the broader
geographic area and creating the distributed and virtual workforces. This is also important for
the organization in knowing about their transformation through which they can easily come to
know about how usually they have to work and achieve the set objective and goals.

workplace that must be adopted.
LITERATURE REVIEW
The concepts of workplace transformation
According to Shnitser (2021), workplace transformation leads for rethinking the flexible
workspaces to accommodate the various kinds of technology and workers. This must be
important for the organization about thinking towards their changes initiatives and bring out the
better opportunities for moving towards the succession. Along with this it is also opportunities
for moving towards some new dynamic models of working and their business performance with
having some effective transformation. This also provides the countless opportunities to
enhancement and revolutionary changes. Workplace transformation is essential for the
organizational culture and helps them for improving the initiatives, as required for understanding
and participates in continuous quality improvement at every level of workplace. This is also
important for knowing about how usually they are working and make sure for having some
desire goals through having some of their succession. The demand for having more talented
workforce that goes beyond and adopting the new digital so that could keep moving fast and
organization can have the bold strategies. Moreover, this also leads for innovative culture and
inclusive workforces and have the great expectation needed to be highly skilled people. While
the organization also required for developing their working segments and this can make sure for
having some effective goals.
Various factors that impacts on transformation at workplace
As per Meske and Junglas (2021) said that, transformation is must be important for the
organization in present times, this keep most of the organization for facing dynamic and
changing business environment. They should also either changes and cope with changes that will
2

thrive and flourish and some other who fail to do so they have to keep for working with some
strategies. Each must keep the continually interact with some other employees and individuals as
the consumer, suppliers, shareholder and many other. Due to having transformation at
workplaces this can keep the employees for working human capital for the organization and
keep them motivated and dedicated workforces will not be able for performing their work.
Organizational structure which also have some positive impacts over the transformation and
what governs and guide the effective operation of the business. However, the organizational
structure need to answer the needs of the evolving entity and becomes the internal sources for
the organizational changes and keep their employees for working with some effective concepts.
Along with this sometime transformation also keep the organization for working fewer due to
having some frequent changes and less achievement for the goals.
Challenges faced by employees due to transformation at organization.
Rangraz and Pareto (2021) said that, transformation is the application of the technology for
creating some new business models and also keep the organization for working with some better
solution. This also have the main aim to solve the business points, improve efficiencies and
deliver the personalized the better customer experiences. For many companies, this also seems
that business transformation is important for working with long term survival in competitive
market and becoming the better data rich and connected. Lack of dedicated skills, for having
succession employees with having well-developed skills must be required and this keep the
developing the team for getting harder. In addition, this keep focus on understanding customer,
developing the better services provider partnership and slashing about the development costs
through which having no code platforms. A lack of organizational change management, this
keep the organization for knowing about inefficient workflows and rigid the leadership styles
that digital transformation success.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
Research type:
Research type define in which the researcher chooses the effective approach to complete the
research study. Research type involve the process which are qualitative and quantitative research
type. Qualitative research define as in which the researcher gathers the data by open
communication, or by conducting questionnaire with the participants (Umer and Razi, 2018).
3

Quantitative data approach involves the statistical data in which it involves the numerical data,
integers. For this research method researcher will do the qualitative data approach.
Research design:
Research design in which the researcher select the specific framework to design the research
data. Research design is divided into the two methods which is exploratory and descriptive
design method. Exploratory research design enables the researcher to further explore the
research topic. Descriptive research design enables the researcher to understand on the theory
based. For this research study researcher will do the exploratory research as in which the data is
qualitative so that researcher will explored the research data for the better outcomes.
Research approach:
Research approach are the way in which the research is conducted therefore it involves the two
methods which are inductive and deductive. Inductive research approach define as the
qualitative approach in which data is analysed on the new theory method. Deductive research
design associated with the quantitative data in which the data is analysed from the existing
theory (Walsham, 2018). For this research study researcher will go with the inductive approach
as it gives the flexibility to the research analyst.
Research philosophy:
Research philosophy define the process of collecting the data being analysed for the good
research report for the final outcomes. This research philosophy involves the methods which are
interpritivism, positivism. Interpritivism research philosophy defines as the individual is the one
who shape the society. Positivism believes that the society shape the individual. In this research
study researcher will focus on the interpritivism as it gives the facts of the data which is
beneficial for conducting the research.
Data collection:
Data collection is the method to collect the data for which the researchers follow the methods to
collect the data. Data collection method involves the method which are primary and secondary
data collection. Primary data collection method involves the data from the questionnaire,
interviews open communication and the secondary data collection involves the data from the
books and journals or the data which is already existed (McGregor and et.al 2018). For this
research study researcher will do both primary and secondary research as both will use to
complete the research.
4

Sampling:
Sampling is based on the group of people who are invited to share their views and opinions over
the subject. It involves the methods which are random sampling or non probability sampling. For
the research study research analyst will choose the random 50 employees to obtain the
information for collecting the information for the research study.
Data analysis:
Data analysis is the method which is define to analyse the data. This process involves the
thematic and statistical data analysis methods. Thematic data analysis use the qualitative apprach
in which data is analysed through the data sets. Statistical data approach define as the
quantitation approach in which the data is in the form of the numbers, patterns in which if the
numbers are wrong than the whole research study will suffer (Park, Bahrudin and Han, 2020).
Therefore for this research study researcher will proceed to use the thematic data analysis as
statistic data analysis might mislead the analyst as it uses the numbers.
Ethical consideration
Ethical consideration is the most important for the researcher to conduct any research. It is
mandatory for the researcher to maintain the confidentiality of the participants. For this research
study researcher already provided the consent form to the participant which is showing the
willingness of the participants to take part in the research study. Also a list of references also
provided which shows that the research work is not copied it is self done by the research analyst
to complete the research.
Time scale
Time scale shows all the factors as what time the resources are arranged, It I all based on what
time did the researcher has taken to gather all the resources for conducting the research. For this
research the time scale is define below:
