RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH:
‘Research’ is a systematic and scientific activity to achieve the truth. Research includes procedures of collecting data, analysis the data and finding the conclusion or truth. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

‘Research Methodology is a way of systematically solving the research problem. It is a science of studying how the research is done successfully. RESEARCH DESIGN
‘Research Design’ means the exact nature of Research work in a systematic manner . It involves the information about the research work in view of the framework of the study, availability of various data, observations, analysis ,sampling etc., DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN:

The researcher has followed the descriptive research by using primary and secondary data collections. Descriptive studies try to discover answers to the questions who, what, when, where and sometimes how the researcher attempts to describe or define a subject, often by creating profile of a group of problems. People or events such studies may involve the collection of data and the creation of distribution of the number of times the researcher observes a single event or characteristics or they may involve relating the interaction of two or more variables.

UNIVERSE OF THE STUDY: All the employees in the selected organization under study

SAMPLING FRAME: The population considered for the research is the working personnel from SAMPLING:
Once the Researcher has clearly specified the problem and developed an appropriate design and data collection instruments ,the next step in research process is to select those elements from which the information will be collected. Following sampling methods may collect the required information in any scientific enquiry. Stratified Random Sampling shall be
adopted for data collection SAMPLE SIZE:

The researcher takes the sample size as 100
STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING:
Stratified Random Sampling is a sampling method (a way of gathering participants for a study) used when the population is composed of several subgroups that may differ in the behavior or attribute that you are studying

DATA COLLECTION METHODS:
PRIMARY: Questionnaire and in-depth interview
SECONDARY:
* Company Magazine, Website, News Papers and Case Studies * Journals
