...1. Introduction This research proposal aims to provide a viable study investigating the effectiveness of intangible rewards on employees’ motivation level. We propose that age moderates the effectiveness of intangible rewards on increasing employees’ motivation in the workplace. Specifically, we suggest that Generation Y’s are relatively more intrinsically motivated than older generations. Given the strong positive relationship between rewards and motivation, there are many factors that influence an employee’s level of motivation. Motivation is defined as a person who is "hard" at work, one who "keeps at" his work and one who directs his behavior towards appropriate outcomes (Johns & Von Saks, 2011). Daft and Marcic (2008) has defined motivation as the force or forces that arouse enthusiasm and persistence to pursue a certain course of action. Rewards motivate people both intrinsically and extrinsically. Extrinsic rewards consist of monetary gains and job promotions, whereas intrinsic rewards comprise of meaningful work and work-life balance. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Alderfer's ERG theory suggests that one will be motivated to be able to satisfy personal needs. Additionally, the Trinity Model is another method of classifying people’s needs –namely, into biological, psychological and spiritual aspects (Dahlgaard-Park, 2010). 2. Literature Gap and Importance of Study Much research conducted in various studies in the past has established the relationship between...

The term "research proposal" indicates that a specific course of action will be followed. The following components can be regarded as steps in the writing of the research proposal. They are important and should be followed for the actual composition of the proposal: 1. Title page of the research proposal A research proposal should be submitted with a title page on which full particulars pertaining to the following appear: the name of the researcher; student number; course; and the following wording: Research proposal in preparation of a research project with the following proposed detail:"..... " (For example: "The education in Public Administration of chief directors employed in provincial government departments") 2. Introduction Emphasise the importance of the proposed research and describe the research topic or theme. This is usually done in one or two paragraphs. In all cases it should be stated whether a relationship exists between the proposed research and research undertaken before. If no such research has been undertaken previously, this should be pointed out. 3. Motivation Present, as clearly as possible, the source of interest...

...RESEARCH PROPOSAL THE CONTENTS OF A RESEARCH PROPOSAL A research proposal is an overall plan, scheme, structure and strategy designed to obtain answers to the research questions or problems which constitute your research project. A research proposal should outline the various tasks that you plan to undertake to fulfil your research objectives, test hypotheses or obtain answers to your research questions. It also should state your reasons for undertaking the study. Broadly a research proposal’s two main functions are to: * Outline the operational plan for obtaining answers to your research questions * Specify and ensure the methodology for control of variance. (This is a technical function and is important for those studies that are designed to investigate a causal relationship.) In order to achieve its first function, a research proposal must tell you, your research supervisor and a reviewer: * What you are proposing to do * How you plan to proceed * Why you selected the proposed strategy Therefore it should contain: * A statement of the objectives of the study * A list of hypotheses. If you are testing any * The research design which you are proposing to use * The setting for your study * The research instrument(s) that you are planning to use * Information on sample size and sampling design * Information on data processing procedures * An outline of the proposed chapters from the report * The study’s...

This proposal aims to test the effect of soft drinks on the human weight. This topic is vital because obesity leads to serious deceases and stops people from participating in the simplest activities, and in terms corrupts the living of a normal lifestyle. The methods we are aiming to use are experiments and interviews. 1.2 Relevance to the Bahrain Business Community. Researches were conducted on the effect of drinking soft drinks on a human’s body, clarify that it would increase the chances of getting overweight. Overweight can lead to serious deceases, such as strokes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, Bahraini businesses would be exposed to the possibility of reduced productivity rate, because of the consumption of soft drinks on their employees. As a result of reduced productivity, a company's profit can possibly be minimized which in terms could...

Analyzing the Business Decision or Problem Businesses currently face a change in the consumer landscape as generation Y consumers (persons born between the years 1982 and 1994) have the capacity to dominate the economy. It is important for companies to recognise generation Y’s behaviours, attitudes, characteristics and influences in order to “create and develop new business opportunities to remain competitive and generate profits.” Sullivan, D. P. (2004). However, this is proving difficult for businesses as the incentives behind generation Y consumption practices and preferences remain obscure. The following proposal intends on focusing on this division by examining the consumption behaviour of generation Y individuals. The findings concluded that generation Y consumerism was driven by issues in conjunction with but not limited to social trends, personal preferences and digital media and technology. Key Concepts: Throughout the investigation various research articles presented themes that influenced Generation Y consumer decision-making styles including: • Freedom • Finding yourself • Blend in/stand...

...Research Proposal 1. Introduction The growing globalization is not only bringing new competitors, but also exposing consumers to a wide range of foreign products and offering more purchase decision choices. Consumers are paying more attention to the origin of products as part of their evaluation and purchasing decision process (Bhuian, 1997;Ettenson & Klien, 1998; Katsanis & Thakor,1997). Given that giant Myer wants to expand their business in Australian market in the next three years, the management team must identify right strategies such as possible new sources of revenue and new market segments, to increase the revenue coming from current sources. In order to differentiate itself in a highly competitive market as well as generate revenue in many ways, understanding the key target markets will be very important as well as establishing a clear vision as to which direction the company should head to in the future. 2. Problem Statement & Research Objectives 2.1 Background information A recent survey by the accounting firm BDO (2014) revealed that Australian retailers are growing revenue slower than their international peers. Myer, as one of the many other traditional Australian retailers, is lagging behind its competitors in key financial measures, such as revenue growth and target market. Furthermore, there is an increasing growing trend and demand for imported products to Australia in the past five years (appendix 1), which can be attributed to the country-of-origin ...
