Project: Impact of Organisational Change on Employee Behaviour in UK

This project proposal investigates the impact of organisational change on employee behaviour within the UK education sector, focusing on universities, secondary, and primary schools. The study aims to identify the factors driving organisational changes, analyse their effects on employee behaviour, and propose strategies to mitigate negative impacts. The research will employ an interpretivism philosophy and a deductive approach, utilizing primary data collected through questionnaires and secondary data from existing literature. The research methodology includes random sampling of employees from each level of education and data analysis using SPSS software. The project seeks to determine the relationship between organisational change and employee behaviour, considering factors such as changes in management, culture, and employee engagement. The project also includes a detailed literature review that supports the research questions and hypotheses.

Literature Review
Factors for organisational changes in education sector
 As said by (Jayaweera, 2015) there is need to bring change in organisation so that
goals and objective are attained. The occurrence of change impacts on behaviour of
employees to a great extent. Usually, in education sector changes are related to
management and culture. there are several factors due to which changes occurs in all levels
in education.

Cont..
Impact of organisational change in behaviour of employees
In view of (Alonderiene and Majauskaite, 2016) with any change that occurs in
organisation it directly influences on behaviour of employees. This is because new methods or
procedure are to be followed while working. Moreover, various rules and regulations are also
to be followed. When an employee is transferred from one place to another, the culture,
structure, etc. is unidentified. So, it makes it difficult for them to adjust and work in that
environment. Also, there are certain reforms or curriculum that differs.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 Research philosophy - It is the belief of way in which information on research aim and
objectives is collected and analysed. It encompasses ways of analysing research
information which is final part of study that helps in determining outcomes. The technique
deals with nature, scope and development of knowledge on the basis of investigation
(Burchell, J., Kennedy and Murray, 2015). In present study, researcher will use
interpretivism philosophy.
 Research approach - It is the set of procedure which are planned by scholar according to
research topic. It enables systemic path and procedure to conduct research in simplified and
approachable way. The approach derives flexibility of data collection and analysis with
regard to chosen research process. The researcher will use deductive approach.

Cont..
 Data collection- It is the process of gathering relevant and precise data from various
available sources. Usually, there are two types of data collection method that are primary and
secondary. Primary refers to collecting fresh data through interviews, survey, etc. In
secondary data and information is collected from previous articles, journals, etc. In this study,
primary data will be collected via filling forms (questionnaire) and will be sent via e mail to
communicate in formal and professional manner.
 Data sampling - It is necessary for researcher to select target people on which research will
be conducted. This is done by applying data sampling method. They are of different types of
methods like random, stratified, etc. In this study random sampling method will be used.
Here, scholar will select 5 employees each from university, primary and secondary school.

Cont..
 Data analysis - It is a procedure through which data is analysed and relevant outcomes are
obtained. This is done by applying various tools and techniques (Beycioglu and Kondakci,
2014). Data analysis must be done in proper way so that accurate results are produced and
aims and objectives are achieved. In present study, researcher will use SPSS software to
analyse data. In this quantitative analysis will be done.
