The research methodology deals with selection of appropriate research philosophy, research approach, design and strategy for proper completion of research. The research methods needs to be followed by collecting data and information related to human resource management. This help in accessing ethical standards and limitations need to overcome for conducting research.
Research philosophy are of two types including positivism and interpretivism. Positivism research philosophy deals with theories, ideas and new concepts related to the research topic. Therefore, it deals with the natural phenomenon of the processes and concept of the human resource management (Cooke, Saini & Wang 2014). The researcher will select positivism research philosophy for the conduction of the research study. Interpretivism deals with the opinion of the people related to the human resource management. Therefore, the researcher will not use of the interpretivism research philosophy in research.
Methodology
There are two categories of research approach including deductive and inductive research approach. Deductive approach helps in validating research assumptions done initially. However, inductive approach helps in focusing in new ideas, concepts and theories. The study requires only validating the research aims and objectives done in initially (Rothenberg, Hull & Tang 2017). Therefore, the researcher will use only the deductive approach for research study. The use of deductive research helps in focusing on their seats objectives and aims of the study. The research questions developed ay the first it the research will be analyzed properly with the help of the deductive approach.
The research design are of three types including explanatory, exploratory and descriptive research designs. The research will be done using the theories and models related to the human resource management system. The descriptive design helps in providing an outline of the design that will be beneficial for the research. The explanatory research design helps in explain existing research theories and content (Brueller, Carmeli & Markman 2018). Therefore, the descriptive research design will be selected for the study.
Data collection has been an important part of the research study. The two variables in the research study has been the Human Resource Management and Employee retention. To answer the research question, employee retention will be the variable, as it depends on framing HR policies by the human resource department in an organization. Organizations based on HR policies that ensure work-life balance has been reported to yield higher production and profit ratio. Therefore, data and information regarding human resource development in an organization can be collected from two types, including primary and secondary data sources. Primary data collection method deals with the survey questionnaires using participants for the survey. On different side, secondary data collection method help in collecting data from online articles journals, books and governmental databases. Therefore, in this research the researcher will select secondary data collection method for collecting data and information related tithe human resource management in an organization. The secondary set of data has been obtained from the Google Scholar and PubMed using smart search on best HR policies i.e. https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/0/FB2AF09A6FD45227CA25783F000ECEE8?Opendocument .
The sampling technique can be done by using probability and non-probability sampling technique. The probability research technique helps in collecting sample in random process. However, non-probability sampling technique helps in convenient sampling technique. The random sampling technique might help in selecting quantity of respondents form large amount of heterogeneous samples (Ones, Viswesvaran & Schmidt 2017). There will be 20 journals taken as a population for the research study related to the human resource management. However, out of 20 journals, only 15 journals will be taken as sample size for the study as they would be fulfill all the criterion of research study.
Data Collection
Qualitative data analysis will be used for analyzing the data as it has been accessed form secondary sources of data including online journals and government databases. The researcher will use a qualitative data analysis method for analyzing data and information of the research. The obtained data will be analysed by statistical software including SPSS. The number of employees joined over a year and number of employees separated during a year will be analysed using the SPSS software. The retention percentage can be calculated by dividing the number of employees who left during a period by the total number of employees at the end of a period. The results will be formulated in tables and graphs.
There might be some limitations during the data collecting method including irrelevant sources of data and information for the research. Some of the websites might be locked and required sign process for accessing data. Time constraint and budget might be another limitations the study’s. The time frame for the research might be appropriate to complete the research study. The budget for the conduction of research might be less enough to use advance data analysis g tool in the study.
The ethical consideration of the research will be followed properly in order to secure data and information related to the human resource management in an organization. The Data protection Act 1998 might help in securing data and information used in the research study. The results and outcomes of the study might not be published before the completion of the research in time. The data and information will it be copied from anyone’s research article for minimizing copyright issues.
