the academic literature on a specific topic. A literature review involves a critical evaluation of
the material where overview of previous work is published. This is generated by scholars in
order to collect information regarding topic. This is an overview of previously published works
that refers to scholarly paper, book, and action. The present report is about effective leadership
which is used by management to influence and attract the number of employees at workplace.
This is important to each business organization to identify what their employees wants and how

Challenges faced by the University of Melbourne while maintaining effective leadership
practices within Australia
As per the view of Bass (2019), leadership practices could be explained as main
procedure that foster and encourages a good working relationship between employees. Having a
good connection among team members will help team building, and increase organizational
productivity as well. This is important to business organization to know how their employees

to have effective leadership practices as it could help to manage the changes and develop the
organizational productivity. Australians prefer a leader who is driven towards outcomes and
objectives, with ambitious being the second-ranked ideal leadership value. Broad-mindedness
was next on the list, with Australians desiring to be led by individuals who are open to new
ideas, innovation, and change. The number of leadership practices are followed by University of
Melbourne such as:
Develop a Leader's Mind set – The first leadership practice is to set the mind of leaders
and leading the team to work collectively. This is important to business organization to
understand what their leader wants and how they could influenced to number of employees to

the goals and allocate work among employees so that each work could be perform effectively.
11

This is important to leader to understand what their employer wants and their goals so that task

in Australia, leadership practice is applied by management that can help to divide the work into a
team and get results accordingly. This can help to develop the business productivity and
profitability in changing environment (Alrowwad and Abualoush, 2020).
Challenges faced by University of Melbourne in Australia in implementing the leadership
practices
Communication challenge – The major issue was found while implementing the
leadership practice in University of Melbourne is lack of communication as students belongs to
other country and place where language and culture is different that directly affected the
productivity of education centre. It has seen that if there is no effective communication and
sharing of ideas then could be challenging to regulate their business activities and performance.
However, leader of selected industry faced the communication barrier that have impacted
negatively on students learn activities and studies. To solve the issue, University campus is
needed to keep their focus on the communication level from where the students, professors and
leaders all can interact with each other in fine manner and can create a better learning
environment. From the view point of the author, communication should be very accurate and
proper from where only the students and professors can convey their ideologies and speech in
definite order (Fraboulet, 2021).
Not having accurate knowledge and skills – While arranging and managing the
business function it is needed to have good knowledge and skills regarding specific as it support
to manage the business productivity. This is important to business organization to analysis the
environment and determine what is happening around and how each function could perform
well. In context to University of Melbourne, challenge of inaccurate knowledge and skills found
between teacher that impacted negatively in business productivity and performance (Iqbal and
Ahmad, 2021).
Having burden of work and high pressure – To operate a business and education
centre arrangement of all resources and activity is needed as it supports to manage the functions.
There are many task to perform where it became important to manage them well as it create the
pressure and affect business task. Due to high pressure of the work and arrangements, leaders
and management of the University gets frustrated and let down which makes the leadership
12

arrangement improper. While implementing the leadership practices University of Melbourne
found large number of activities and high pressure on teacher and students that impacted
negatively on business productivity. To solve the issue, leaders need to prioritize the activities
out of many as it could help to manage the change and develop organizational performance
(Campos, Aubert, Guo and Joanpere, 2020).
Face the challenge in making decisions – To operate a business successfully right
decision is important which is taken by leader and management by analysing all requirement and
arranging sources that support to develop the organizational performance. It has seen that
sometimes leaders get confused to make decision for the betterment of employees and customers
where it became important to solve the issue by taking right action. In context to University of
Melbourne, leader faced the challenge of making decision that reduced the number of students
and teachers. This became important to leader to understand this issue and solve it by sharing
with all members and taking decision with mutual consent. By staying calm and positive and
creating a proper planning for the effective leadership management which can help and support
the University to implement the effective leadership activities at the campus and can finely direct
the people at successful level.
From the above it has analysed that many challenges are faced by University of
Melbourne while implementing the leadership practices as it affects the business productivity
negatively. This became important to education system to understand the issues and bring
optimum solution that can help to maintain higher performance. The leader is having good
ability and skills to manage work at larger place and support to grow the business effectively.
The management has identified the problems and bring optimum solution by arranging teachers
at right place that can help students to develop their learning skills, and writing skills.

CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
Research methodology is one of the important chapters in the overall dissertation in
which a researcher gets a direction to carry out their investigation of the certain topic. It gives a
scientific and logical way to resolve the research problem. Research methodology is the
continuous activity which is used by an individual for the purpose of collecting information and
develop performance. In addition, an investigator ensures the reliability on data, gets more valid
conclusions that covers research aim and objectives (Celdrana, 2020). Through this chapter, the
researcher will going to understand what type of data they will need to collect for the research
along with where from. This section will also help researcher to know how data will be
accumulated and analysed.
Research philosophy
The creation of knowledge upon which investigation is constructed is referred to as
research philosophy. It can be described from either an epistemological or an ontological
standpoint. The research philosophy is founded on the research's goals and objectives. There are
two types of philosophies that are used in research: positivism and interpretivism. The researcher
will employ positivist philosophy because the current study is based on quantitative research. It
will aid in the collection of data in a numerical format. The advantage of employing this concept
is that the acquired data will be more reliable, scientific, and practical. On the other hand, the
interpretivism philosophy is more suited for qualitative research with a small sample size. It
consists of participants' theoretical perspectives on the topic. The current research is about
effective leadership which is used by employer for the purpose of managing all business
functions and activities so that each work could be done effectively (Williams, 2019).
Research approach
The research approach might be either inductive or deductive. It is critical to select the
research approach wisely because it will express the researcher's decisions regarding data
collecting and analysis in the study. In other words, research approach is the collection of plans
and procedure formulated by an individual for the purpose of completing task in certain period of
14

time and managing all functions. While conducting research it is important to consider that all
collected data is valid and reliable as it could help to manage the business productivity. The
inductive approach is appropriate for qualitative research since it aids in the development of
theories from research in order to analyse data in order to satisfy research goals and objectives.
On the other hand, the deductive technique is suited for quantitative research to analyse and
comprehend data through diagrams, pie charts, tables, and other visual aids. Because the
current study is based on quantitative data, the researcher will employ a deductive technique to
collect the observations required for producing interpretations for the results. It helps in making
meaningful justifications for the investigation (Snyder, 2019).
Research choices
There are three data kinds to choose from: mono, mixed, and multi-method. The
researcher will employ either quantitative or qualitative data in the mono technique. Having
correct research choice under methodology can help to determine the success and overall quality
of research study and its documentation. This is important to researcher to focus on different
types of choices and select best one that suits their study. In a mixed method study, the
researcher will conduct both quantitative and qualitative research (Pandey and Pandey, 2021).
Whereas multi-method uses both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, the main
difference is that it is utilised to establish a specific data collection, whereas mixed does not. For
the current study, the researcher will employ a quantitative research method under mono
method that can help to collect the information and develop performance. It will aid in
obtaining data in numerical terms, making the study more reliable and practical.
Research design
Research design aims to cover different tools and techniques to perform research activity
in a best possible way. In other words, it refers to overall plans and strategy that choose by
individual for develop their understandings. It helps in sharpening the research methods to
achieve research aim and objectives and make study more accurate for the readers. The
researcher may use experimental, descriptive, diagnostic, explanatory and correlation research
design. Descriptive research design method will be used in the current investigation as it
permits researcher to give opinions on how and why of study. It assists readers to understand
the requirement for the study (Nayak and Singh, 2021).
15

Research Method
The method adopted by the researcher to carry out the research activity is referred to as
the research strategy. Action research, experimental research, surveys, interviews, case studies, a
systematic literature review, and other methodologies may be used. The researcher will use a
survey as a tactic in the current study. It is useful for quantitative research, and the researcher
will ask a series of questions to the respondents in order to obtain numerical data. It is the most
cost-efficient and effective technique (Bairagi and Munot, eds., 2019).
Time horizon
It helps researcher to know about the timings that will consume in research work. It is
depending on the research type. Time horizon can be longitudinal and cross-sectional.
Longitudinal time horizon will include longer time for the research work whereas cross-sectional
time-horizon include shorter time. The present investigation will be based upon cross-sectional
time-horizon as the investigator wants to finish their work as early as possible (Edereho, 2020).
Data Analysis
There are two kinds of data collection methods: primary and secondary. Primary data
gathering aids in obtaining data that is fresh, new, first-hand, and has not previously been
exploited by anyone. These are particular and accurate because the researcher obtains data
directly from the respondents. Interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, and other methods are
used to obtain primary data. Secondary data, on the other hand, is data that has already been
used. The information can be obtained from both internal and external sources within the firm.
Press releases, online sources, periodicals, sales reports, journals, papers, and many more sources
can be utilised to acquire secondary data (Zawacki-Richter, Kerres, Bedenlier, Bond and
Buntins, 2020). The current study will use both primary and secondary data collecting methods,
with the researcher gathering quantitative information via interviews and questionnaires. Data
analysis is the systematic use of numerical and logical approaches to describe, illustrate, and
analyse data. It is vital for the investigation since it makes data more accurate and easier to
understand for the reader. The researcher will employ frequency distribution data to assist
organise data in tabular or graphical form.
16

Validity and Reliability
The present research will provide reliable and justifiable results for the study as
information will be accumulated in numeric terms. Random sampling method will be exploited
to choose participants from a large sample size which helps in getting reliable data. It covers
close ended types of questions to achieve information from the participants. These respondents
will be employees of the organisation. The reason behind choosing such participants is that they
directly connect with the company and give more reliable and valid data to meet the research aim
and objectives (Sileyew, 2019).
Research limitations
One of the biggest problems of employing quantitative research is that it can lead to a
misleading concentration on data, causing investigators to ignore larger themes and relationships.
By focusing just on figures, the investigator risks overlooking large picture facts that could assist
the organisation. It is also not a cost-effective approach to utilise because it involves numerous
fees such as stationary, marketing, and so on. Furthermore, it may lead to researcher
manipulation in which they might change the outcomes and arguments provided by the
respondents (Motjolopane, 2021) (Logosha and et.al., 2019).
Research Ethics
Research ethics refers to the application of ethical principles in the research work. It is
important for the researchers to ensure that data gathered from respondents will be based on free
consent and not forcefully. It also addresses the confidentiality of respondents' personal
information, such as phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses, among other things. It is
critical to ensure that information is not disclosed or shared with anyone for nefarious purposes.
Furthermore, the researcher should not reproduce or duplicate anything in the study effort as this
will result in plagiarism, which is unethical (Vebrianto and et.al., 2020). The investigation should
also not be detrimental to the emotional, bodily, or social wellbeing of the parties concerned. It is
appropriate to investigate every potential cause of harm in the research activity as well as
realistic strategies to mitigate the harm.
Population and Sample
A sample is a group of people who actively participate in the inquiry. To draw meaningful
conclusions from the results, the investigator can choose one of two sampling methods:
probability sampling or non-probability sampling. The current study will be based on probability
17

sampling, with the researcher making a random selection. It aids in statistical reasoning for the
entire group. The main advantages of employing this strategy are its absence of prejudice and
simplicity. In the interview, 30 people will be picked from diverse businesses, including retail,
aviation, construction, hospitality, and many more. In contrast, the sample size for the
questionnaire will be 30 people from various areas of the chosen organisation (Flick, 2020).
Summary
It has been summarised that the current research is based upon quantitative research
method which helps in getting more accurate, reliable and valid results for the readers. Use of
primary and secondary data collection method helps in gaining information which is more
accurate and justifiable to the research. Random sampling method helps in avoiding biases
among respondents. On other hand, there is some limitation to the quantitative research such as
cost ineffective, false focus on number and so on. Ethical considerations make researcher to
conduct their investigation in an ethical way. It makes researcher to create transparency and
accuracy in data.
