LITERATURE REVIEW
Theme1: Concept of Workplace transformation
As per the views of Meske and Junglas, (2021) workplace transformation refers to
updating the procedure of working in the organization. As the change is the mandatory procedure
that has to be performed in the organization. Transformation plays the vital role in introducing
the change in the organizations. In accordance with the Soled, (2021) workplace transformation
has been considered as the vital element as it enables to adopt the change at the workplace.
Moreover, it enables the workplace in standing in the competitive scenario. As stated by
Cenkci, (2021) workplace transformation involves the various elements that are linked with the
enhancing the working procedure. Also, it involves transforming the workplace structure that
assures the effective workplace infrastructure. As per the views of Attaran, Attaran and Kirkland,
(2019) it has been as that element that enables the workplace in terms of meeting with the
changing business dynamic. On the contrary side Lagus, (2020) the author has said that,
workplace transformation is just not limited to transforming the physical and materialistic objects
at the workplace. It has been considered as the bigger concept that involves the transformation of
the human base as well within adopting the proper transformation techniques that includes the
training sessions.
It has been stated by Borg and O'Sullivan, (2021) that, in Current era, the organizations
mostly preferring the digital transformation at the workplace as it leads to add glory in the
working procedure of the businesses. Technology transformation at the workplace plays the
2

crucial role in adding higher success rate towards the business. On the opposite side Seifolahi
and Hassanzade, (2019) the authors have made an argument that, only adopting technological
transformation at the workplace is not enough in terms of dealing with the changing business
environment. Transformation from all the aspects is required in order to deal with the dynamics
that occur in the business environment. It includes the behavioural transformation, structural
transformation, strategies transformation and so on. All these elements contributes in the
effective workplace transformation. Thus, the workplace transformation plays vital role in the
enhancing the businesses from all the aspects and assures the higher success to the businesses.
Furthermore, it is aligned with recreating the workplace within adopting higher efficiency.
Theme2: Impact of the workplace transformation on the productivity of the organizations
In accordance with the Schneider, (2018) workplace transformation is directly linked
with increasing productivity of the organizations. In order to assure the higher productivity in the
organization it is highly important that, the organizations must adopts the changes and takes the
mandatory transformation. As stated by Meske and Junglas, (2021) workplace transformation are
of numerous types. Understanding the type of workplace transformation that is appropriate for
the organizations is highly important and on the basis of that, the decision regarding the
workplace transformation in the organizations has to be taken. In the opinion of Cletus and et.al.,
(2018) it has been further said that, different type of workplace transformation makes the
contribution in the final objective of the organization and that is related to the achieving the main
aim of the organizations. Technological transformation at the workplace leads to enhance the
concept of digitalization in the organizations. As a result, the companies collects the data in fast
manner and makes the mandatory decision on the basis of the available data.
As per the views of Kowtha, (2018) it has been stated that, the social transformation at
the workplace leads to increase the morals and values of the employees. Furthermore, it creates
the higher confidence in the employees in relation of performing the task at the workplace. As a
result, the employees contributes with more productivity while performing the task. It further
results in achieving of the desired outcomes of the organizations. On the contrary side
Bayighomog and Araslı, (2019) the authors has argued that, only assuring social transformation
to the employees in terms of increasing the productivity of the organization is not enough. The
workforce transformation has to be included as the part of the workplace transformation. As per
the views of Isaksen and et.al., (2020) workforce transformation refers to enhancing the working
3

abilities of the employees in the organization in order to assure the higher productivity of the
organizations. Thus, the workplace transformation plays the vital role in assuring the higher
productivity to the organizations if it has been done within management of all the elements that
are important for transforming.
As stated by Attaran, Attaran and Kirkland, (2020) the major variables of productivity are
enhancing the performance of employees, digitalization, capital, resources and environment of
organization. These are the major variables that needs to be enhance in order to assure effective
productivity in organization. Thus, workplace transformation impacts these variables of
productivity. In accordance with Meske and Junglas, (2021) workplace transformation helps in
enhancing the productivity of employees. When change has been done in organization then it
provides opportunities to employees in terms of performing new tasks. Thus, it impacts their
performance level on positive manner.
Attaran, Attaran and Kirkland, (2019) Elucidates that, workplace transformation often
leads to adopt digitalization in organization. Currently, those organizations who are highly
digitalized have captured larger market share and the productivity of the organization has also
been increased. Soled, (2021) said that, workplace transformation enhances the working
procedure that ensures profitability. As a result, stakeholders gets attracted towards organization
and more capital has been acquired. As per the views of Trenerry and et.al., (2021) more capital
leads to gather effective resource whether it is, human, physical or financial resource. Thus,
resources are the major part of productivity.
In the opinion of Anuradha, (2020) it has been said that workplace transformation leads
to create effective environment in the workplace as the opportunities has been given to
employees for growing therefore it leads to create effective environment. Thus, in this manner
workplace transformation impacts the working pattern that further impacts the productivity of
organizations.
Theme3: Challenges in implementation of the workplace transformation
Day, (2019) Elucidates that workplace transformation comes up with the large number of
challenges as the workplace transformation refers to impacting the working procedure in the
organizations so, the working effectiveness can be increases. However, on a contrary note
Benbya, Davenport and Pachidi, (2020) critics that, in order to achieve the success within
adopting the transformation the challenges has to be bear up in the organizations. In the opinion
4

of Conboy and Carroll, (2019) it has been said that, workplace transformation leads to increase
the cost and expense in the organizations. It further results in increasing the cost of production
and it provides the direct impact over prices of final goods and services in the organizations. As a
result, there is a threat of losing the customers. As per the views of Ipersons, (2020) it has been
said that, even the employees feels not comfortable in adopting the transformation at the
workplace. In similar manner Savić, (2020) has revealed that, the workplace transformation often
creates the situation of employees resistance. The employee often experience the level of higher
disappointment due to the workplace transformation. It is highly important that, the internal
environment if the organizations must feel comfortable with the changes that are taking place
internally. As per the views of (Calvetti and et.al., (2020) comfortability rate of the employees
towards adopting the transformation determines the success rate of the transformation. As stated
by Schalock Verdugo and van Loon, (2018) in case of employees resistance the workplace
transformation shows up the failure and the success rate of the transformation has been reduces.
It provides the direct impact over the over-all growth of the business. Hence, workplace
transformation is a big concept that is hard to deal. In order to ensure the effective workplace
transformation, the organizations has to be prepared for facing the challenges in the
implementation of the workplace transformation.
5. RESEARCH APPROACHES AND METHODS
Research Philosophy
It refers to the belief in regard to research (Hürlimann, 2019). In respect to the concerned
research the Positivism philosophy is adopted so that the quantitative data in the context of
workplace transformation and its impact towards the productivity can be evaluated. With the
concerned philosophy an in-depth research would be assisted.
Research approach
It is of two types i.e. inductive and deductive (Azungah, 2018). In the concerned research
the deductive approach is adopted so that the quantitative data in respect to workplace
transformation and its impact towards the productivity would be evaluated. The conduction of
deductive approach will assist the observation of the fact of workplace transformation so that the
impact in respect to productivity would be evaluated.

Research choice
It refers to the choice of method which would be adopted in respect to research. The
concerned research would be made on the basis of mono method. Under mono method which a
single method would be adopted towards the performance of research (Melnikovas, 2018). With
the adoption of mono method, the qualitative research in respect to the workplace transformation
and productivity would be evaluated.
Research Strategy
The strategy which is adopted in respect to the concerned research is survey in which a
large population of employees of the Nissan will be studied. Under survey the population in
terms of managerial employees of Nissan will be included. This will lead to assist the research in
terms of detailed analysis with regard to the workplace transformation and its acceptance or
impact towards productivity.
Sample and sampling technique
In the concerned research simple random sampling is adopted so that every participant will
get an equal chance of selection. With the concerned sampling technique, the research in respect
to workplace transformation can be analysed adequately. The concerned research would include
the 30 managerial employees of Nissan.
Data collection
This is an important step in respect to a research under which data will be collected from
various sources. In the concerned research the data is mainly collected from primary and
secondary sources. The primary data in respect to the research would be collected from
questionnaire while the secondary data can be integrated from the study and consideration of
various articles and journals.
Data analysis
Under this step the data is analysed. With respect to the concerned research the descriptive
statistics is adopted so that an in-depth analysis in respect to the workplace transformation along
with its impact in respect to raising of productivity would be studied. This will lead to make a
detailed analysis in respect to the research.

From the above analysis, this could be seemed that workplace transformation is being
more important for the organization. While through which they can easily create some benefits
and ensure them for working with some goals and objective. It has been also seems that key
challenges have been discussed that will create the effective digital solution for the organization
(Meske and Junglas, 2021). Along with this also come to know about how they have to manage
the work and implementation over the given concepts. In having such things this could be also
analysis of the various concepts and solution towards using some digital framework so that
organization can easily make sure for using some effective things.
It has been summarised from the above information that WT helps in increasing the

area helps in gaining the competitive advantage and technologies also helps in improvising the
bottom line of business that leads to provide better consumer experience that is essential for
competing in market. As compare with the literature finding this data is obtained from
employees and they have gone through such process so that it gives the fact full and real data
which is important for study.
This also seems that internal collaboration and communication which play the important
role for developing with some goals and ensure them for having resources for their employee. As
18

managerial employee should also come to know about how they are being required for working
and also involving many more tools and techniques. While this can also create the basic concepts
for developing and ensure them with managing the work and make more technology usage so
that organization can easily adopt some market changes (Selimović, Pilav-Velić and Krndžija,
2021). In having such things this can be easier for working with adopting technology for this
workforce should be given such kind of training that they can easily make the adoption of
technology.
In creating more growth and make the use of digital technology that can easy for working
and complete the task while by having some strategies. Moreover, the workforce should be
trained in such a way that can easy work and have the long term customer experience. Culture
collaboration and communication is also important so that can be easier for knowing about how
employee need to work. As organization can also work with having high investment towards the
infrastructure which can include them with growth and ensure with having some estimated things
(Rangraz and Pareto, 2021). However, organization while having workplace transformation they
have huge issues and challenges through which they sometime cannot provide the training. This
could be important for taking some right decision and make sure for having attraction towards
the system.
9. LIMITATION OF THE RESEARCH
The limitation in respect to the concerned research is related with the cost and time. This is
because with the shortage of cost the effectiveness of research would be affected ion respect to
access to resources. In the same way with respect to the primary research an authority in respect
to access to the employees would also be counted as limitation because of the presence of high
restriction.
In this study quantitative methodology is used where the deductive research approach and
positivism philosophy is utilised. As Quantitative study helps in generalising the result as being
both organised and statistical quantitative research gives the ability for drawing the better
conclusion that helps in making the better decision. Positivism approach is beneficial as it leads
to give reliable, objective data where the generalisability within data can be seen. As for the
deductive approach effectiveness it helps in assisting to use the logic for analysing the better
decision with this causal relationship can also be explained between the concept and variables.
19

As compared with the qualitative analysis outcomes in quantitative approach is more
generalised.
10. REFLECTION
While carrying out the research I have analysed that I have learned various skill and
knowledge in respect to research. this may include the development of research skill as well as
skill of communication and presentation. I had also developed the time management skill that
how to achieve the target on time. I have also understood that the how the research has been
carried out. During the research I have realised that while performing the research I face
difficulty in terms of accessing the primary source of data that may include an approach towards
the managerial level employees. As I used the quantitative methodology which helps in getting
the better outcomes as it helps in generalising the result. Also I approached with the deductive
reasoning that helps me in explaining the casual relationship among the variables and concept.
Thus overall positivism approach and other methods helps me in achieving the research goals
and objectives.
During the analysis I have realised that although I had various qualities and skill in respect
to the performance of research but at the same time I need to make development and work on
various skill that may include the decision making as well as the analytical skill. Through the
learning of the concerned skill I would be able to make effective analysis of the data. I develop
confident in completing the other same project in the future as well. Next time I will try to
proceed with the other alternative research approach as for this I have used the quantitative study
next time I will proceed with the qualitative study. During the implementation of the research I
found that I have the good research skills which is my biggest strength that helps me in
completing the research. I found that I lacked the ability to manage my time which comes as a
weakness but after completing this I found that I have improvised this skill.
I have also come to know about how the workplace transformation seems to be important in
organization and ensure them for using digital concepts. In completion with such kind of
research I have also analysed about what skills and knowledge must be required and how this can
be easily analysed for taking the risk. I will also make sure for having such kind of skills and
knowledge for preparing some other research. The skills which seem to be developed such as
20

communication, research skills, decision-making and so on. While having such kind skills to be
developed this can create more concepts and ensure for taking right decision.
11. SUGGESTION OF ALTERNATIVE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In order to perform the research, the alternative methodology would be qualitative research
under which the non numeric facts will be studied and analysed. With this methodology the
accuracy and authenticity in respect to the research would be raised so that the research can be
performed in more detailed manner (Hosseini, Ivanov and Dolgui, 2019).
Likewise, with the concerned quantitative methodology the approaches i.e. deductive as well
as philosophy i.e. positivism will also be changed in respect to the research that can be
interpritivism and inductive. With this change and the concerned method of research a detailed
analysis of concept of workplace transformation and its impact will be analysed in more effective
and accurate manner. Also exploratory research design can also be used for investigating the
research questions which is not previously examined in depth. Also cross sectional time horizon
can be used as alternative as it can be done rapidly as compared with longitudinal studies.
12. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
From the above research it can be concluded that workplace transformation has a direct and
major impact towards the productivity of Nissan. The above research also shows that with
respect to changing scenario and situation an adoption towards the workplace transformation
would be counted as important and thus need to be adopted so that changes can be meet along
with securing a secured position in market competition. Above report have illustrated the
discussion of aim and objective, it further highlighted the literature review where it covers the
key findings and author arguments over the topic. Further carried out the data analysis that
