+1 862 207 3288 Chapter One-Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is to justify the topic of the dissertation or research project as being worthy of research.
To do this successful the student should:
• Introduce the topic and its context.
• Locate the topic within current academic literature.
• Draw from non-academic literature sources (e.g. specific company literature, government reports, newspapers etc.) to demonstrate the wider relevance of the topic.
• Show the contemporary nature of the study.
• Present the research questions to be studied as a logical consequence of the argument they have constructed.
• Summarise the chapter and introduce the next chapter.
Chapter Two-Literature Review
Do not cut and paste text into the literature review.
The purpose of this chapter is to review and critically analyse the academic literature pertinent to the research question(s) – this chapter also provides material to be used in the data collection stage.
To do this successfully the student should:
• Ensure the reviewed literature is relevant by using the research question(s) as sub-headings, at least in the draft stage.
• Demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the academic debates relevant to their topic.
• Critically analyse key contributions, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, testing their internal consistency, and acknowledging and presenting the inevitable counter-arguments.
• Avoid presenting literature uncritically – this does not demonstrate understanding.
• Avoid presenting only the positive side of an argument, as a researcher he/she must acknowledge and evaluate the negative aspects of their chosen topic.
• Summarise the chapter and introduce the next chapter.
Chapter Three-Research Methodology
The purpose of this chapter is to justify the research methodology chosen by the student as following accepted academic convention.
To do this successfully the student should:
• Support and substantiate his/her claims throughout with reference to appropriate research methodology literature.
• Justify the research strategy chosen.
• Ensure the strategy is consistent with his/her identified research approach (qualitative or quantitative for example).
• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the type of research approach chosen and the data collection methods employed.
• Identify the limitations of the research.
• Summarise the chapter and introduce the next chapter.
Chapter Four-Data Presentation and Analysis
The purpose of this chapter is to present the data and analyse the findings in relation to the literature reviewed in chapter two.
To do this successfully the student should:
• Ensure relevance by using the research questions as sub-headings, at least in the draft stage.
• Present the data in a clear and coherent manner, using tables, graphs etc. as he/she sees fit.
• Critically discuss the findings in relation to the literature in chapter two, identifying areas of agreement and disagreement, and give some thought as to why the results he/she obtained were so.
• Identify any results that were puzzling or unexpected and consider why this was so.
• Summarise the chapter and introduce the next chapter.
Chapter Five-Conclusions and Discussion
The purpose of this chapter is to conclude the study by drawing together all the key points and to identify recommendations drawn from the research.
To do this successfully the student should:
• Conclude the study effectively by drawing together all the main issues and presenting them in a coherent narrative.
• Reflect upon the process of the research identifying what went well and what should have been done differently.
• Identify the limitations of the study.
• Identify any areas of further study highlighted during the research process.
• Include any reflections on how the research has affected the author personally.
• Summarise the whole of the study.
Dissertation question;
How does the training and motivation of employees affect the profit and success of an organisation?
Dissertation Proposal:
I will research into the fundamental aspects to training and how it contributes to the development of its employees and thus the overall success of an organisation.
I will look into the training programmes and pay rates offered by big organisations and analyse how its specific employment of Taylor’s theory of Scientific Management affects the overall morale and motivation of its employees. E.g., being a producer of consumer goods, Jaguar Land Rover would undoubtedly place huge amounts of effort into training its employees in order to produce efficient and reliable cars however, they would not be reflective of the automobile market as a whole per se.
By comparing the HRM of organisations, I will thus analyse the methods used within the market today and would be able to critique and analyse the importance placed by the market and competition for companies to invest into training and motivating its workforce.
Research question
1) To learn whether or not the theories made by past researches into HRM and motivation apply today?
2) To learn how companies implement the theories of the past?
3) To learn how the failure of a well adept training programme and steps taken to motivate staff affect the quality of products and the overall success of an organisation?
