METHODOLOGY OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER STUDY – Term Paper

Turnover survey procedure

This study will adapt survey research design. Wyse (2012) acknowledges survey distributions will form a flexible yet convenient mode of data collection on a small scale level. Since the respondents of the research are located in one place. Hence, using survey questionnaires that are physically issued to respondents will serve crucial in contributing to the data collection purposes of the study.

The target population for the research is ground crew staff working in the restaurant outlets of the food and beverage industry, as well as their recruitment managers. A random sampling technique will be used to arrive at this specific target population (DePersio, 2015). The population under consideration is relatively small making this technique appropriate

Questionnaires

Two different questionnaires will be structured. One for the ground crew staff and another one for the recruitment manager staff. A sample of 20% of the total number of workers in each category will be selected for the exercise. Each of these respondent categories will be expected to tackle questions concerning their area of work. Questionnaires will ensure that respondents who are contacted at their convenience (Wyse, 2012).

Data analysis

Statistical analysis will be conducted on the data collected. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics will be used. A Chi-square analysis will be used to test the significance of relationship in the hypothesis stated earlier. The choice for Chi-square is driven by the fact that it is easy to compute. It can also be used to study the difference among the various variables in consideration (Jain, 2016).

Limitation of the study

It will be a challenge capturing the required number of workers within the restaurant. The workers’ population has reduced due to turnover. Workers available may be so busy to set time for filing in questionnaires. For that reason, it might take longer duration of time to collect completed questionnaires for analysis.
