collecting relevant secondary resource as an evidence for the chosen company. It is so because
researcher was unable to find the relevant secondary information on Wizz Air because of
specified deadline. Therefore, by taking help of friend, it was easy to collect relevant
information for the chosen study.

Evaluation and limitation of the research
While conducting this research, I realized that I gain research skill because earlier I do
not have any idea about the research methodology but now I can see it is increases as compared
to past. Further, I also realize that complying with ethics and principles is quite necessary
because it will help to conduct the research in right manner. Moreover, I also evaluated that I
enhance my communication skill which in turn assist in my future as well. It is so because I ask
a open ended question to the selected respondent, I come to know I am easily present my views
in front of them and convey exact information which assist me to conclude the answer.
In addition to this, I also realized that I enhance my current knowledge with regards to
equality and diversity, research methodology and literature review, because earlier I do not have
strong knowledge related to this. Through this research, I come to know the process of
4

conducting a good research with specified time and that is why, I identify the value of time in
our life as well.
Moreover, in this current research, I used qualitative research for this project, but
somehow it is analyzed that this method are not help to represent the data statistically and it
completely relies upon the experience of researcher. Therefore, by analyzing the limitation of
using current research methodology, I analyzed that by using quantitative research method in
future will assist to get accurate results and it also allow for a broader study which involves
range of number of subjects as well as allow for greater objectivity with accuracy of outcomes
too. So when I conduct the same research in future, then make sure to use deductive approach
and Positivism research philosophy under quantitative research methodology.
