CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
Research design refers to the blueprint or plan that a researcher follows to carry out a research study.
It outlines the specific methods and procedures that will be used to collect and analyze data, as well as the
overall approach that will be taken to address the research question or objective.
Research design includes decisions about the research methods, data sources, sampling strategies, and
data analysis techniques that will be employed in the study. The selection of an appropriate research design is
A well-designed research project should be based on a clear understanding of the research problem,
relevant theories, and prior research in the field. The research design should also be aligned with the research
objectives and the available resources, including time, budget, and personnel.
By choosing an appropriate research design, researchers can enhance the rigor and credibility of their
research, which can help to ensure that their findings are useful and relevant to the broader scientific
community.
Data collection methods are techniques and procedures used to gather information for research
purposes. These methods can range from simple self-reported surveys to more complex experiments and can
involve either quantitative or qualitative approaches to data gathering.
Some common data collection methods include surveys, interviews, observations, focus groups,
experiments, and secondary data analysis. The data collected through these methods can then be analysed
and used to support or refute research hypotheses and draw conclusions about the study’s subject matter.
The choice of data collection method depends on the research question being addressed, the type of
data needed, and the resources and time available. The method of data collection can categorize data
collection methods into two types. They are as follows as
Primary data is collected from first-hand experience and is not used in the past. The data gathered by
primary data collection methods are specific to the research’s motive and highly accurate.
Secondary data is the data that has been used in the past. The researcher can obtain data from the data
sources, both internal and external, to the organization. The sources of secondary data are shown below
The data collection method used in this research is primary data collection through offline survey by
using questionnaire.
3.3 Population
Population in research design refers to the group of individuals, objects, or events that the researcher
is interested in studying. The population is defined by certain characteristics or criteria that are relevant to the
research question or objective. The population is the target group from which a sample will be drawn to
represent the larger population.
The sample is a smaller, manageable subset of the population that is selected for the study. The
selection of a representative sample is critical to the success of the study, as it ensures that the findings can
be generalized to the larger population. The size of the population can vary widely depending on the research
question, and researchers must carefully consider the characteristics and diversity of the population when
selecting the sample size and sampling strategy.
A sampling unit is the individual member of a population that is included in a sample. The sampling
unit is the smallest element of the population that can be selected for inclusion in the sample. For example, if
the population of interest is all college students, the sampling unit might be an individual student.
The selection of the appropriate sampling unit is critical to the success of the study, as it must be
clearly defined to ensure that the sample is representative of the larger population. The sampling unit should
be selected based on the research question and the characteristics of the population, and it should be clearly
defined to avoid ambiguity and ensure consistency in the selection process.
Once the sampling unit is identified, researchers can use various sampling techniques to select the
sample, such as simple random sampling, stratified sampling, or cluster sampling. The selection of the
appropriate sampling technique depends on the size and diversity of the population, as well as the resources
available to the researcher. Overall, the selection of the appropriate sampling unit is a critical step in research
methodology, as it can impact the validity and reliability of the study results.
Sampling unit for this study had taken as individual employees in the company.
Sample size is an important aspect of research methodology. It refers to the number of participants or
observations that are included in a sample, which is a subset of the population of interest. The sample size is
a crucial factor in determining the precision and accuracy of the research results.
A larger sample size generally increases the precision and accuracy of the study, but it also requires
more resources and time to collect and analyze the data. A smaller sample size, on the other hand, may result
in a less precise estimate of the population parameters, but it is more economical and easier to manage.
The appropriate sample size depends on various factors, including the research question, the
variability of the population, the level of precision required, and the available resources. A well-designed
sample size is critical to ensuring the validity and reliability of the study findings, and researchers should
carefully consider the appropriate sample size to achieve their research objectives.
The sample size for this study is 120 employees out of a population of 250 in the company.
Sampling method in research methodology is of two types and they are as follows:
1. Probability sampling
2. Non-probability sampling
Probability sampling is a sampling technique where a researcher selects a few criteria and chooses
members of a population randomly. All the members have an equal opportunity to participate in the sample
with this selection parameter. Probability sampling are of four types and they are as follows
In non-probability sampling, the researcher randomly chooses members for research. This sampling
method is not a fixed or predefined selection process. This makes it difficult for all population elements to
have equal opportunities to be included in a sample. Non-Probability sampling are of four types and they are
as follows
1. Convenience sampling
2. Purposive sampling
3. Snowball sampling
4. Purposive Sampling
Sampling method used in this study is Simple random sampling of probability sampling method.
Statistical tools are essential for scientific research. In fact, statistical methods dominate the scientific
research as they include planning, designing, collecting data, analysing, drawing meaningful interpretation,
and reporting of research findings.
Furthermore, the results acquired from research project are meaningless raw data unless analysed
with statistical tools. Therefore, determining statistics in research is of utmost necessity to justify research
findings. Statistical tools are used to test hypotheses, make predictions, and draw conclusions from data.
Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics help summarize and describe the characteristics of a dataset. They include
measures of central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (e.g., standard
deviation, variance, range). Percentage analysis is the method to represent raw streams of data as a
percentage (a part in 100 - percent) for better understanding of collected data. Percentage Analysis is applied
to create a contingency table from the frequency distribution and represent the collected data for better
understanding.
Percentages are useful because people can compare things that are not out of the same number.

Correlation Analysis
Correlation analysis helps measure the relationship between two variables. It includes techniques
such as Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Correlation analysis is a
statistical method used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
Correlation analysis is used to determine whether there is a linear relationship between two variables and to
quantify the strength of that relationship. The result of correlation analysis is known as a correlation
coefficient, which can range from -1 to +1.
A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive relationship between two variables, which
means that when one variable increases, the other variable also increases in a linear fashion. A correlation
coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship between two variables, which means that when one
variable increases, the other variable decreases in a linear fashion. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates no
relationship between two variables.
Correlation analysis can be useful in many fields, including finance, economics, psychology, and
biology. However, it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation. Just because two
variables are correlated does not mean that one variable causes the other variable to change. Other factors
may be involved in the relationship between the two variables. Therefore, it is important to use correlation
analysis in conjunction with other statistical methods to fully understand the relationship between two
variables.
ANOVA
ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is used to compare the means of two or more groups. It includes
techniques such as one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA. An ANOVA test is a way to find out if survey
“One-Way” or “Two-Way
One-way or two-way refers to the number of independent variables (IVs) in your Analysis of Variance
test.
“Groups” or “Levels”
Groups or levels are different groups within the same independent variable.
If your groups or levels have a hierarchical structure (each level has unique subgroups), then use a nested
ANOVA for the analysis.
“Replication” It is whether you are replicating (i.e., duplicating) your test(s) with multiple groups.
With a two-way ANOVA with replication, you have two groups and individuals within that group are doing
more than one thing (i.e., two groups of students from two colleges taking two tests). If you only have one
group taking two tests, you would use without replication.
Types of Tests.
There are two main types: one-way and two-way. Two-way tests can be with or without replication.
One-way ANOVA between groups: used when you want to test two groups to see if there’s a
difference between them.
Two-way ANOVA without replication: used when you have one group and you’re double-testing that
same group.
Two-way ANOVA with replication: Two groups, and the members of those groups are doing more
than one thing.
A one-way ANOVA is used to compare two means from two independent (unrelated) groups using
the F-distribution. The null hypothesis for the test is that the two means are equal. Therefore, a significant
result means that the two means are unequal.
A one-way ANOVA will tell you that at least two groups were different from each other. But it won’t
tell you which groups were different. If your test returns a significant f-statistic, you may need to run an ad
hoc test (like the Least Significant Difference test) to tell you exactly which groups had a difference in
means.
A Two Way ANOVA is an extension of the One Way ANOVA. With a One Way, you have one
independent variable affecting a dependent variable. With a Two Way ANOVA, there are two independents.
Use a two-way ANOVA when you have one measurement variable (i.e. a quantitative variable) and two
nominal variables. In other words, if your experiment has a quantitative outcome and you have two
categorical explanatory variables, a two-way ANOVA is appropriate.
The results from a Two Way ANOVA will calculate a main effect and an interaction effect. The main
effect is similar to a One Way ANOVA: each factor’s effect is considered separately. With the interaction
effect, all factors are considered at the same time. Interaction effects between factors are easier to test if there
is more than one observation in each cell. multiple stress scores could be entered into cells. If you do enter
multiple observations into cells, the number in each cell must be equal.
Two null hypotheses are tested if you are placing one observation in each
RELIABILITY ANALYSIS
The factors that emerged in the questionnaire for collection of responses were tested for internal
reliability using Cronbach’s alpha which indicates the average inter-item correlation within each of the
factors. Those factors resulting in a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.7 or greater are generally considered to be reliable
and therefore useful for further analysis as part of a specific variable.
Comparative scaling methods involve comparing two or more objects, concepts, or stimuli, and
assigning them a numerical value based on their perceived differences or similarities. Examples of
comparative scaling methods include paired comparison scaling, rank order scaling, and constant sum
scaling.
Non-comparative scaling methods, on the other hand, do not involve comparing two or more stimuli.
Instead, they measure the intensity or degree of an attitude or belief. Examples of non-comparative scaling
methods include semantic differential scaling, Likert scaling, and visual analogy scaling.
Likert scaling involves rating a set of statements or items on a scale ranging from strongly agree to
strongly disagree. The responses are then assigned numerical values and averaged to obtain an overall score.
Scaling method used for this study was Likert scaling of non-comparative scaling methods.
CHAPTER-IV
Descriptive statistics are brief descriptive coefficients that summarize a given data set,which can be
either a representation of the entire or a sample of a population. Descriptive statistics are broken down into
measures of central tendency and measures of variability (spread). Measures of central tendency include the
mean, median, and mode, while measures of variability include the standard deviation, variance, the
minimum and maximum variables, and the kurtosis and skewness.
Percentage Analysis
Percentage analysis is a simple statistical instrument which is widely used inanalysis and
interpretation of primary data. It deals with the number of Respondents'reply to a questionnaire in percentage
attained from the total population nominated for the study. It is one of the simple forms of analysis which
helps the researcher to realize the outcome of the research.
It is normally used for inferring the results in quantitative terms. In this study, percentage analysis was
used to measure the percentage of demographic profile of those employees who participated in the study on
various aspects.

Examining the role of technology in time management: With the rise of digital technologies,
employees now have access to a wide range of tools that can help them manage their time more effectively.
Research could explore how different types of technology, such as task management apps or time tracking
software, affect employee productivity.
Exploring the impact of time management on employee well-being: While time management is often
discussed in the context of improving productivity, it is also important to consider how it affects employee
well-being. Future research could explore how effective time management practices impact employee stress
levels, work-life balance, and job satisfaction.
Investigating the impact of time management on different types of work: It is possible that the impact
of time management on employee productivity varies depending on the nature of the work being performed.
For example, time management may be more important in jobs that require a high degree of multitasking or
project management. Research could explore how time management impacts productivity in different types
of jobs and industries.
Examining the role of organizational culture in time management: The organizational culture of a
workplace can have a significant impact on how employees approach time management. Research could
explore how different aspects of organizational culture, such as leadership style or company policies, affect
employee time management practices and productivity.
