Phd Proposal on HR Motivation in Hewlett Packard

HR Motivation in Hewlett Packard   Because of the important role of employees, organizations have the responsibility to motivate them so as they can function more effectively. Theories of motivation such as Maslow’s theory, Alfelder’s theory, McClelland’s theory, and Herzberg’s theory explain why employees should be motivated and why organizations should take this concept into consideration. But what really constitutes effective employee motivation especially in the HR department where they have the key responsibility to motivate others? Several research and organizational reports point positive motivation as one of the most important factors in the success of an organisation. This study will confirm the effects of HR motivation in a multinational company like Hewlett Packard.   The following are the research objectives of the study: 1.    To determine the problematic nature of motivating HR staff in a multinational company 2.    To confirm the most effective HR motivating factors in a multinational company 3.    To find out if the relationship between HR motivations and organizational success   The research design is exploratory because it intends to explore the different motivating factors of an HR department as well as the challenges in doing so. This research is also cross-sectional because of limited time. Accordingly, cross-sectional studies often employ the survey strategy, and they may be seeking to describe the incidence of a phenomenon or to compare organizationally.   The survey method, on the other hand, will be used for data collection. Surveys are conducted to gather data from the field in order to generalize results from a sample to a larger population. The primary purpose and advantage of surveys is to generalize the results. Usually, surveys are interesting in gathering data from many than in obtaining intensive, detailed information from a few individuals; therefore, it is seldom for a survey to consist of one or very few individuals.   A semi-structured questionnaire will be used in the survey. Accordingly, semi-structured interviews provide the researcher the opportunity to ‘probe’ answers, which can be done in instances where there is a need or want for the interviewees to explain further or build on their responses, and this is important if one is adapting a phenomenological approach, where the researcher is concerned to understand the meanings that respondents attribute to various phenomena, as interviewees may use words or ideas in a particular way, and the opportunity to probe these meanings will add significance and depth to the data obtained and may also lead the discussion into areas that had not been previously considered but which are significant for understanding and may help in addressing research questions and objectives.   The responses to questions will be analyzed by determining their corresponding frequency, percentage and weighted mean. The following statistical formulas will be used:   1.     Percentage – to determine the magnitude of the responses to the questionnaire.             n % = ——– x 100        ;           n – number of responses             N                                 N – total number of respondents   2.     Weighted Mean             f1x1 + f2x2  + f3x3 + f4x4  + f5x5 x= ———————————————  ;                         xt where:            f – weight given to each response                         x – number of responses                         xt – total number of responses       Credit:ivythesis.typepad.com
