How long this
will take:

Milestone one: _________________
Target date (set by tutor): ____________________

Research approach- By use of deductive approach of research an investigator complete their
task through completing task according to current data in order to investigate research with
proper manner (Pek-Greer and Wallace, 2017).
Research methodology- With qualitative research all information is conducted through

research methods. An investigator use both method to collect information and it helps to collect
all data in minimum time-period. Primary research is used for collection of data for a specific
concern. On other side, secondary methods aids for completion of research in minimum time-
period (Robinson, Ryan and Abbasi, 2018)..
Sampling- Employee's perform work according to research participants and this is used to select
research methods with selection of sampling size that is 40.
