The objective of the research should be closely related to the research study of your dissertation. The main purpose of the research objective is to focus on research problem, avoid the collection of unnecessary data and provide direction to research study. Research is related to the aspiration and objectives are related to the battle-plan. Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely, so that research problem could be explored effectively.

Specific: Objective should be clear and well defined. It helps to specify the research problems and provide proper guideline to find the solution of research problem (Alexander, 2008). Specific objective identify the methods of collecting necessary information related to the research problem.

Measurable: Objectives should be measurable. It improves quality and quantitative of the research study to achieve its goal. The measurable research objectives provide guidelines for the improvement of research design. It is important element to achieve research objectives.

Achievable: Objectives should also be achievable in the time and it should provide accurate result from the use of sufficient resources in the specific time frame. It is related to effective measure of research problem (Atkinson, 2001). Achievable objectives ensure that every process of research is finished in accurate time will help to achieve the goals.

Realistic: Objective should be realistic, so that available resources like as men, money and machines could be used effectively. Objectives are most useful, when they accurately define the problem and take various steps that can be implemented with a specific time period.

Timely: Objective should be measured and achievable into the time frame. The research takes enough time in finding the solution of research problem. Timeline indicate when the objective will be accomplished (Frey & Osterloh, 2002).

Research Questions

In deciding the research questions the consideration over data availability and information sources should be given. Research questions identify trends and provide significance of the study. Decision for research questions selection should based on research design, sampling and collection of the data. Data collection method decision is based on investigation for the problem and units of the study and it affects the selection of research questions. A good research question defines the investigation area, sets boundaries and provides direction in solving the research problem. Research questions should be appropriate with the topic and should find opportunities and commitments related to the study. Research question should be narrow, clarified and well defined (Blaxter, Hughes & Tight, 2006).

This post would be useful for you to develop an understand how to make a research proposal. Research proposal is an important step before starting any research. A very critical aspect of research proposal is research objectives, questions and methodology that would be use to achieve research objectives.

Research Title

The title of this research will be "study the role of human resource management to enhance the productivity of organization"

Introduction

Human Resource Management (HRM) includes the process of managing employees at work to achieve organizational goals and objectives. These goals are achieved by strategic operations with the use of cultural, structural and personal techniques (Schuler and Jackson, 2007). With the change in environment and introduction of globalization, it has become important for the organizations to enhance employees’ productivity at work place. So, it will help to boost employees as well as organizational growth.

Research Question

In relation to this research, following will be the research question:

"How HRM is influencing employees to enhance productivity at work and in what ways?"


Research Objective

In relation to this case, following are the objective of this research:

  • To see the relationship between HRM and employees productivity.
  • To explore different elements of HRM responsible to enhance employees’ productivity.
  • To evaluate the way of influence people for more productivity at work place.
  • To identify the role of HRM in the growth of employees as well as organization.
Literature Review

According to Birdi, Wall and Wood (2008) HRM is a practice that enhances employees’ knowledge, skill, attitude and behavior. This enhancement helps to increase company performance. There are many ways for that such as motivate or train employees to work harder and more flexibly, encouraging the use of initiative, reducing the cost of supervision and other direct costs. As well as providing the opportunity for individuals to develop and use new knowledge and skill at work (Birdi, Wall and Wood, 2008). So, the human resource management plays a major part to increase productivity of organization.

On other hand Dysvik and Kuvaas (2008) argued about influencing employees about productivity. They said training and motivation cannot influence every employee in similar way. If employees can perceive that they are not being provided with sufficient training opportunities. It might develop higher turnover intentions (Dysvik and Kuvaas, 2008). So, from this statement it is found that perception of developmental HR practices and turnover intentions are negatively related to each other.

Justification

Employees are regarded to be the most valuable assets of a company. So, it is important for the organizations to have effective human resource management to enhance productivity of employees as well of the organization.
