    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    Gratitude is the hardest of emotions and often one does not find an adequate

    word to convey what one feels.

    Planning and motivation are two key factors in making any activity a

    success. Goal achievement is a result of a group effort rather than

    individual effort. It has been same in the case of this report. The

    cooperation and support of many individuals has made this project asuccess.

    I wish to express my sincere thanks to Ms.Seema Sangwan . Her keen interest,

    timely, constant encouragement and generous cooperation gave me confidence

    and strength to progress. Her valuable advice, constructive criticism and

    suggestion during course of my study really helped me a lot. I also thank Mr.

    SANDEEP GANDHI, Principle of Algol School of Management and

    Technology for providing me the opportunity to work for this project, which

    was an excellent learning experience for me.

    I am also thankful to all the employees working in the school for

    their continuous help and advice at different times.

    Specially, I am thankful to my parents and God for their blessings and showing me the right way at all moments.

    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

    1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE

    SECTOR:Education sector

    The Constitution of India is the ultimate document which guides State policy in all sectors,

    including Education. Details of provisions contained in the Constitution, which have a

    bearing on Education, have been listed on this website under the caption Constitutional

    Provisions . Their more important features are:

    Provision of free and compulsory education to all children up to the age of fourteenyears.

    Education, in general, is the concurrent responsibility of the Union and the States.

    However, (a) coordination and determination of standards in higher and technical education,

    and (b) institutions declared by Parliament by law to be institutions of national importance

    are the responsibility of the Union.

    Local authorities (Panchayats and Municipalities) are to be assigned a suitable role ineducation (especially School, Adult and Non-Formal Education) through individual

    State legislations.

    State Governments and Local Authorities are expected to provide facilities for

    instruction in the mother tongue at the primary stage of education.

    Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control

    and funding coming from three levels: federal, state, and local. Child education

    is compulsory. The Nalanda University was the oldest university-system of education in the

    world. Western education became ingrained into Indian society with the establishment of

    the British Raj.

    Education in India falls under the control of both the Union Government and the states, with

    some responsibilities lying with the Union and the states having autonomy for others. The

    various articles of the Indian Constitution provide for education as a fundamental right. Most

    universities in India are Union or State Government controlled.

    India has made progress in terms of increasing primary education attendance rate and

    expanding literacy to approximately two thirds of the population. India's improved education

    system is often cited as one of the main contributors to the economic rise of India. Much of

    the progress especially in Higher education, Scientific research has been credited to various

    public institutions. The private education market in India is merely 5% although in terms of

    value is estimated to be worth $40 billion in 2008 and will increase to $68 billion by 2012.

    However, India continues to face stern challenges. Despite growing investment in education,

    25% of its population is still illiterate; only 15% of Indian students reach high school, and

    just 7% graduate. As of 2008, India's post-secondary high schools offer only enough seats for

    7% of India's college-age population, 25% of teaching positions nationwide are vacant, and

    57% of college professors lack either a master's or PhD degree.

    As of 2007, there are 1522 degree-granting engineering colleges in India with an annual

    student intake of 582,000 plus 1,244 polytechnics with an annual intake of 265,000.

    However, these institutions face shortage of faculty and concerns have been raised over the

    quality of education.

    1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

    Primary education

    The Indian government lays emphasis to primary education up to the age of fourteen years

    (referred to as Elementary Education in India.) The Indian government has also banned child

    labour in order to ensure that the children do not enter unsafe working conditions. However,

    both free education and the ban on child labour are difficult to enforce due to economic

    disparity and social conditions. 80% of all recognized schools at the Elementary Stage aregovernment run or supported, making it the largest provider of education in the Country.

    This primary education scheme has also shown a high Gross Enrollment Ratio of 93 95%

    for the last three years in some states. Significant improvement in staffing and enrollment of

    girls has also been made as a part of this scheme. The current scheme for universalization of

    Education for All is the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan which is one of the largest education

    initiatives in the world. Enrollment has been enhanced, but the levels of quality remain low.

    Secondary education

    Secondary education covers children 14 18 which covers 88.5 million children according to

    the Census, 2001. However, enrolment figures show that only 31 million of these children

    were attending schools in 2001 02, which means that two-third of the population remainedout of school.

    A significant feature of India's secondary school system is the emphasis on inclusion of the

    disadvantaged sections of the society. Professionals from established institutes are often

    called to support in vocational training. Another feature of India's secondary school system is

    its emphasis on profession based vocational training to help students attain skills for finding a

    vocation of his/her choosing. A significant new feature has been the extension of SSA to

    secondary education in the form of the Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan.

    Another notable special programme, the Kendriya Vidyalaya project, was started for the

    employees of the central government of India, who are distributed throughout the country.

    The government started the Kendriya Vidyalaya project in 1965 to provide uniform education

    in institutions following the same syllabus at the same pace regardless of the location to

    which the employee's family has been transferred.

    Higher education

    India's higher education system is the third largest in the world, after China and the United

    States. The main governing body at the tertiary level is the University Grants Commission

    (India), which enforces its standards, advises the government, and helps coordinate between

    the center and the state. Accreditation for higher learning is overseen by 12 autonomous

    institutions established by the University Grants Commission.

    As of 2009, India has 20 central universities, 215 state universities, 100 deemed universities,

    5 institutions established and functioning under the State Act, and 13 institutes which are of

    national importance. Other institutions include 16000 colleges, including 1800 exclusive

    women's colleges, functioning under these universities and institutions. The emphasis in the

    tertiary level of education lies on science and technology. Indian educational institutions by

    2004 consisted of a large number of technology institutes. Distance learning is also a feature

    of the Indian higher education system.

    Regulatory authorities like UGC and AICTE have been trying very hard to extirpate the

    menace of private universities which are running courses without any affiliation or

    recognition. Students from rural and semi urban background often fall victim to these

    institutes and colleges.

    Three Indian universities were listed in the Times Higher Education list of the worlds top

    200 universities Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management,

    and Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2005 and 2006. Six Indian Institutes of Technology and

    the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani were listed among the top 20 science

    and technology schools in Asia by Asia week . The Indian School of Business situated

    in Hyderabad was ranked number 12 in global MBA rankings by the Financial Times of

    London in 2010 while the All India Institute of Medical Sciences has been recognized as aglobal leader in medical research and treatment.

    What Industry Integrated is Industry Integration is the unique aspect of these programmes

    which not only differentiates our programmes from all others but its beneficial for students as

    well as the Industry. This concept is different from traditional management education.

    To understand Industry Integration let us understand the TRADITIONAL Management

    qualification.

    In traditional management qualification at under graduate or post graduate level the typical

    set up would consist of a regular college having infrastructure & facilities . There will be

    class room teaching as per the curriculum, regular test, personality development & other

    facilities.

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    18/52

    18

    What is lacking in a traditional setup is limited Industry Interface of only two months

    summer training in an Industry and hence once the student passes out from the college &

    joins an Industry. However he has almost nil or limited Industry experience, he learns on the

    job and while learning he struggles to understand organization, procedures, application of

    known management concepts and then looks forward for growth after 2 to 3 years. On the

    other hand Industry has to deal with a fresh recruit who has no knowledge about the Industry

    apart from what he has learnt in text books. In the absence of structured induction & training

    department & everyone busy with his / her job it takes a much longer time to train a person,

    make him comfortable & start getting output from them.

    On the contrary in this education system where a student after learning basic management

    concepts takes up training in an Industry of its desired specialization for 3-4 days in a week

    as a regular employee under the guidance of an Internal guide from the Institute & an

    External guide from the Industry. In this system they are able to apply class-room knowledge

    at work place and can discuss work place situations with other students can also seeks

    solutions of the same with their faculty.

    The net result is a perfect integration of class room learning with the work place performance

    leading to a roughly two & half years experience in case of Under Graduate Programmes &

    one & half years experience in case of Post Graduation Programmes.

    It is a win-win situation where a graduate or post graduate does not approach to Industry only

    with the degree or diploma but with relevant Industry experience by peeling off the fresher

    tag. He / she is also in a position to demand higher salaries than their traditional Management

    qualified colleagues that leads to faster growth and achievements of personal & organization

    objectives.

    Never the less, its a win-win situation for organization also as the organization receives a

    management qualified, trained & experienced candidate who requires less or almost no time

    to settle in the job & who would start giving output or contribution to the organization much

    faster or almost instantaneously thus achieving departmental & organization objectives.

    This is what makes us different from all other Institutions in the Country.

    Task: Use of induction programme.

    Identifying, collecting, contrasting and comparing the information from the reliable sources

    as far as possible.

    Task: Analysing the trends of induction program.

    : Study of employees perspectives

    3.2-KEY LEARNINGS

    An induction programme is an important process for bringing staff into an organisation. It provides an introduction to the working environment and the set-up of the employee withinthe organisation. The process will cover the employer and employee rights and the terms andconditions of employment. As a priority the induction programme must coverany requirements for working at the company and pay attention to the health and safety of the

    new employee.An induction programme is part of an organisations knowledge management process and isintended to enable the new starter to become a useful, integrated member of the team, ratherthan being "thrown in at the deep end" without understanding how to do their job, or howtheir role fits in with the rest of the company.

    Good induction programmes can increase productivity and reduce short-term turnover ofstaff. These programs can also play a critical role under the socialization to the organizationin terms of performance, attitudes and organizational commitment.

    surroundings, the job and the business.

    It is important to give a new employee a good impression on the first day of work. However,

    the induction programme should not end there.

    It is also important to have a systematic induction programme, spread out over several days,

    to cover all the ground in the shortest effective time.

    Usually induction involves the new employee meeting and listening to different people talk

    about aspects of the business.

    Other methods include written information, audio visual aids and group discussion.

    The following items should be covered in an effective induction programme:

    Introduction to the business/department and its personnel/management structure

    Layout of the buildings (factory / offices)

    Terms and conditions of employment (explaining the contract of employment)

    Relevant personnel policies, such as training, promotion and health and safety

    Business rules and procedures

    Arrangements for employee involvement and communication

    The Need for Induction

    Recruitment is an expensive business as it takes time, money and effort to find the right people to join your company. Efficiently organized and delivered induction training will be

    your new employees' first proper impression of you and your enterprise; this makes it an ideal

    occasion to reinforce their decision to come and work for you.

    The purpose of induction is to ensure the effective integration of staff into the organization

    for the benefit of both parties. Research has shown that a well-planned induction program

    increase staff retention. A well conducted induction ensures new hires are retained, and then

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    29/52

    29

    settled in speedily and comfortably in a constructive role.

    New employees also need to understand the organization's goals, values and philosophy;

    personnel practices, ethics, integrity, corporate social responsibility and the job they're

    required to do. An effective induction process shortens the time it takes to get the new

    employee to settle down.

    An induction process is not simply for new employees. The same benefits can be received by

    staff who have been promoted or transferred or those who have returned from a long period

    of absence.

    Examples of training methods which can be used to augment the basics normally covered in

    classroom format:

    on the job coaching

    mentoring

    delegated tasks and projects

    reading assignments

    presentation assignments attending internal briefings and presentations, e.g. 'lunch and learn' format

    special responsibilities which require obtaining new skills or knowledge or exposure

    video

    internet and e-learning

    customer and supplier visits

    attachment to project or other teams

    job-swap

    Shadowing (shadowing another employee to see how they do it and what's involved).

    Induction Procedure for new employees

    You have passed the resume and interview process and selected your employee. Next comes

    the employee induction process, where the employee is assisted as he transitions into his new

    ob and begins his work. The induction procedure is a very important part and should not be

    ignored. It helps a new employee fit into his work environment properly. How the induction

    goes can be instrumental in determining what your employee retention rate is going to be.

    You can begin the induction procedure even during an interview by show the candidate

    around the office. Even if you are not sure you are going to hire him, it can give the candidate

    a better idea if he wants to work at that place.

    Induction procedures can last for one week or continue on for several months. The employee

    induction should give the employee all the knowledge and tools he needs to succeed at his job

    and help your business succeed.

    After the employee has been approved, you can start getting him accustomed to his work

    place by providing company literature. This reading can inform him about the details of your

    company and some of your company policies.

    During the induction procedure the employee is shown around his office or workplace. It is

    important to provide all the tools so he can complete his job responsibilities. He also gets

    accustomed to any machinery he will be using on the job.

    During the employee induction procedure, the employee meets any supervisors and peers he

    will be working with. He is also told whom he can see to get his questions answered or to

    seek help with a particular business problem.

    Show the employee the bathroom, lunch area and any snack machines, so he gets to know

    how to find his way around the workplace. Show him where his car parking spot is.

    It might take some time for the employee to become fully productive. The training program

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    31/52

    31

    can cover essential information related to work going on in the company. It can help him

    understand the full picture and where he fits in at the company.

    The induction procedure should also inform him about who he reports to and who to see to

    get a report written or a work completed. Other things include where to file a certain record,

    what information to keep safe, etc. The training would also include such things as safety

    instructions, if working with large machinery.

    It is important that during the employee induction procedure, the employee gets to meet his

    workmates, so he can become a team player, and gets into the organizational culture. He

    should find out about any company picnics, lunches and other recreational activities.

    Once the employee feels welcome, he will be happier at his workplace. Employee induction

    also allows you to lay down the basic company rules to the employee such as acceptable use

    of computers and company phones.

    The induction procedure is not just about technical training to complete a job. It also helps

    the employee fit into the organizational culture, so that he can succeed at his job. For most

    employees money is not the most important reason for staying at a job. He must also feel

    respected and valued in his position. Therefore a happy employee is going to be a productive

    one.

    Induction training

    Induction training is important as it enables a new recruit to become productive as quickly as

    possible. It can avoid costly mistakes by recruits not knowing the procedures or techniques oftheir new jobs. The length of induction training will vary from job to job and will depend on

    the complexity of the job, the size of the business and the level or position of the job within

    the business.

    The following areas may be included in induction training:

    Learning about the duties of the job

    Meeting new colleagues

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    32/52

    32

    Seeing the layout the premises

    Learning the values and aims of the business

    Learning about the internal workings and policies of the business

    On-the-job training

    On the job training occurs when workers pick up skills whilst working alongside experienced

    workers at their place of work. For example this could be the actual assembly line or offices

    where the employee works. New workers may simply shadow or observe fellow employees

    to begin with and are often given instruction manuals or interactive training programmes to

    work through.

    Off-the-job training

    This occurs when workers are taken away from their place of work to be trained. This may

    take place at training agency or Local College, although many larger firms also have their

    own training centers. Training can take the form of lectures or self-study and can be used to

    develop more general skills and knowledge that can be used in a variety of situations, e.g.

    management skills programme.

    The respective advantages of on-the-job and off-the-job training are summarized below:

    On-the-Job Training Off-the-Job Training

    Cheaper to carry out Learn from specialists in that area of work

    who can provide more in-depth study

    Training is very relevant and practical

    dealing with day to day requirements of job

    Can more easily deal with groups of

    workers at the same time

    Workers not taken away from jobs so can

    still be productive

    Employees respond better when taken away

    from pressures of working environment

    Employees who are new to a job role

    become productive as quickly as possible

    Workers may be able to obtain

    qualifications or certificates

    Introduction to Retention

    If you are committed to building an organization that will someday achieve what Jim Mullen

    of Mullen Advertising calls corporate greatness, employee retention should be at the top of

    your to-do list (right along with hiring the right people in the first place). Philosophically,employee retention is important; in almost all cases, it is senseless to allow good people to

    leave your organization. When they leave, they take with them intellectual property,

    relationships, investments (in both time and money), an occasional employee or two, and a

    chunk of your future.

    And from a more practical standpoint, retention is important for the following reasons:

    Replacing qualified employees can be extremely difficult, exceptionally expensive,

    and very often unnecessary.

    Training new employees is costly.

    Poor retention creates a revolving door culture within the organization, lowering

    morale and confidence.

    Poor retention affects your customers (no matter the type of business you have, your

    customers develop important relationships with their contacts within your

    organization).

    High turnover eat s away at your organizations productivity, ability to deliver, and

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    34/52

    34

    overall efficiency. This sad reality always manages to impact your customers

    negatively in one way or another.

    The first thing to understand about employee retention is that there is no magic wand, no

    single answer as to how to retain your employees. Many factors that you cannot control affect

    retention, including but not limited to:

    Shifting markets

    Demand for specific skills

    Business conditions

    Demographics

    Lifestyle changes

    Technology issues

    Trends in work/life decisions as employees needs change

    Retention is not affected so much by the things you do as a company as the things you are as

    a company. Realizing this, to a small degree, senior management has tried to create many

    things they thought would be good for employee retention: for example, casual Fridays (soon

    to be casual every day); flex time; telecommuting, company-paid pizza lunches; wine,

    cheese, and nachos on Friday afternoons; cookies and prizes at meetings, and on and on. All

    of these things are nice, but they are not enough. Employee retention is significant in theory,

    elusive in practice, and never-ending as a good and noble objective. The Dirty Dozen the

    following are what I call the dirty dozen of employee retention p rinciples. Are there more

    and other variations on these ideas? Of course! But the commitment to retain employees is

    akin to the commitment to lose weight. You must start today. Not tomorrow, but today. And

    starting small is far better than not starting at all. Armed with this knowledge, consider

    beginning with the following. If you are successful at implementing all of them, you are

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    35/52

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    36/52

    36

    of a successful organization.

    3. Let it be known your organization wants the best. It is important that the organization

    informs its employees that, as a company, it is always on the lookout for exceptional talentand not just trying to fill open positions. But what happens if a stellar candidate arrives at

    your door and there is no position for that candidate? What do you do? You figure out a way

    to create a place because brilliance and ability demand a place. If you locate a candidate who

    is clearly a must have, make room for that candidate. Most importantly, it is more effective

    to change the position to fit the person than the other way around (people dont change all

    that easily). This behavior demonstrates your commitment to hiring the best and speaks

    volumes about your organizations overall commitment to seeking excellence.

    4. Develop your employees. Exceptional employees want to become even better. You can

    help by developing them in the following ways:

    Develop a comprehensive career advancement program.

    Utilize mentoring and coaching where appropriate.

    Allow employees to move in different directions within the organization (this

    develops perspective).

    Always look within before you look outside to promote. The employees who took

    your company to its present position deserve the first shot at the new jobs that will in

    turn help your company to get to the next level

    5. Create an atmosphere where fun is valued. People want to have fun, but the wisdom of

    corporate America sees very little value to this most important and often overlooked attribute.

    I dont know about you, but Id never want to work for a company where no one ever

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    37/52

    37

    laughed. (Dont tell me that work is work, and there is no room for fun in the workplace. That

    is dark ages thinking at best.) Fun lowers blood pressure, releases tension, eases stress,

    humanizes the workplace, and helps people to think. We all know that work is tiring,

    stressful, competitive, and demanding. This is all the more reason to create some diversion in

    the workplace. Of course, your sense of fun may not be the same as your employees, so

    consider asking what they would prefer by conducting a survey, appointing a committee, or

    sending out emails.

    6. Get to know your employees. This is not easy, especially if you are a Fortune 500

    company. But is your company that large? If the answer is no, take a few minutes to step into

    your employees offices and ask a question or two about their projects (even if your company

    is really that large, managers can still get to know their employees). Get their opinions on

    industry trends. If you see family pictures, ask how old their kids are (come into my office

    and Ill tell you all about my m otorcycle). You want to regard your employees as people, not

    only as workers in your organization. The five minutes spent may turn out to be the best

    investment of your day.

    7. Communicate often and honestly. One of the complaints I hear most often fromemployees is the lack of communication from senior management and between departments.

    I recently finished working with a client whose marketing and sales departments do not

    communicate with each other. Can you believe that? How does an organization exist if sales

    and marketing do not communicate? Set the tone at the senior management level and work on

    communication. Make certain information is disseminated among your employees.

    Employees kept in the dark on news both good and bad are generally not the happiest o

    employees. Regardless of the message, communicate often and effectively. An informedworkforce is more effective than an uninformed workforce.

    8. Make sure your leaders lead. If you are the CEO of your organization, this is for you. Your

    position is all about leadership, working with your team to set and execute the vision, and

    driving the process to achieve corporate objectives. Always remember that your staff is

    watching you very closely, and that they have invested their careers, mortgages, futures, and

    trust in your capable hands. Make sure you earn that trust every day. Be very careful of

    saying one thing but doing another. As employees settle into the organization, they will do far

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    38/52

    38

    less listening to what you say and far more watching of what yo u do, since todays employees

    are probably the most savvy and sophisticated of all time. Lead with courage, conviction, and

    integrity. You might not have everyone agreeing with you all the time, but at least they will

    know you are acting in the best interests of the organization.

    9. Pay your employees well. Compensation is extremely important. It buys all the things

    people need, and more to the point, it buys all the things people want. It reinforces their senseof value and worth to the organization. Is compensation the most important element in

    employment? No. Studies have shown that it is generally fourth or fifth in terms of

    importance. But rest assured that order will change quickly if employees feel they are under-

    compensated for their contributions; no one wants to feel underpaid. Employees must feel

    good about their compensation package.

    10. Conduct exit interviews. Exit interviews are as important as employment interviews and

    are invaluable to the organization. They provide the kind of sincere insight that will allow

    you to craft a better organization. In an exit interview, the employee tends to be honest since

    he or she has no reason to lie or to embellish (as might be tempting in an employment

    interview). This brutal honesty can evolve into an unpleasant experience for you. Try to make

    it as relaxed as possible or have another more neutral manager from a different department

    conduct the interview. You will hear things in exit interviews that you may not want to hear,

    but should. It is vital that you try to understand issues from the employees perspective and

    give him or her The opportunity to be heard. There is a great deal to be learned from exitinterviews.

    11. Be properly prepared for your employees first day of work. I have conducted numerous

    exit interviews where the employees mention their first day of work as the first negative

    experience with the organization. Can you imagine that? Their first impression of their new

    company is one of negativity? Can it get any worse than that? Some of these employees had

    been there for 20 years or more so you can see how indelible an impression the first day of

    work can make. Unfortunately, this is not surprising; people never forget their first

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    39/52

    39

    impressions. It is burned in employees minds forever, especially if it was a bad experience.

    You do not want to dash the hopes of a new employee by saying, Im sorry. Is today you r

    first day? I thought you were starting next Monday. Or worse, Im sorry, Im embarrassed.

    12. Make sure your managers can and want to manage. How often does this happen? Your

    employees do well in their positions and are promoted to managers and then, the beginning of

    disaster. People are not necessarily good managers because they are capable employees.

    Some dont even want the role or the responsibility. But as companies grow, you need more

    good managers, so your best contributors are given the golden opportunity to manage. With a

    raise and reassurances, they are sent out into the cruel managerial world with no training and

    no real understanding that their new role will be significantly different from the old one.

    Develop a training program for first-time managers. That will sensitize them to their new role

    and teach them the basics of managing people and problems. (Beware of the ones who tell

    you they do not need this training. They probably need it more than the rest. Besides, would

    you like to be an employee under the newly promoted manager who never managed anyone

    before and believes he does not need any training to do so?) Make no mistake. Implementing

    the above mentioned ideas and making them a part of your organizations culture is no easy

    task. It is not done in a day, nor done by executive order or edict. Rather, it is a gradual

    process that should be championed by your organizations leaders and led by examples that

    are highly visible in an on-going and consistent manner. Organizational change can be a slowand arduous task, but once again, if management is willing to lead by example, they can do

    virtually anything. The commitment to employee retention is clearly worth the effort if you

    are trying to build a business.

    4.2 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

    Let us understand why retaining a valuable employee is essential for an organization.

    Hiring is not an easy process: The HR Professional shortlists few individuals from a

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    40/52

    40

    large pool of talent, conducts preliminary interviews and eventually forwards it to the

    respective line managers who further grill them to judge whether they are fit for the

    organization or not. Recruiting the right candidate is a time consuming process.

    An organization invests time and money in grooming an individual and makes him

    ready to work and understand the corporate culture: A new joiner is completely raw

    and the management really has to work hard to train him for his overall development.

    It is a complete wastage of time and money when an individual leaves an organization

    all of a sudden. The HR has to start the recruitment process all over again for the same

    vacancy; a mere duplication of work. Finding a right employee for an organization is

    a tedious job and all efforts simply go waste when the employee leaves.

    When an individual resigns from his present organization, it is more likely that he

    would join the competitors: In such cases, employees tend to take all the strategies,

    policies from the current organization to the new one. Individuals take all the

    important data, information and statistics to their new organization and in some cases

    even leak the secrets of the previous organization. To avoid such cases, it is essential

    that the new joiner is made to sign a document which stops him from passing on any

    information even if he leaves the organization. Strict policy should be made which

    prevents the employees to join the competitors. This is an effective way to retain the

    employees.

    The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with the

    compa nys policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better: They perform better than

    individuals who change jobs frequently. Employees who spend a considerable time in

    an organization know the organization in and out and thus are in a position to

    contribute effectively.

    Every individual needs time to adjust with others: One needs time to know his team

    members well, be friendly with them and eventually trust them. Organizations arealways benefited when the employees are compatible with each other and discuss

    things among themselves to come out with something beneficial for all. When a new

    individual replaces an existing employee, adjustment problems crop up. Individuals

    find it really difficult to establish a comfort level with the other person. After striking

    a rapport with an existing employee, it is a challenge for the employees to adjust with

    someone new and most importantly trust him. It is a human tendency to compare a

    new joiner with the previous employees and always find faults in him.

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    41/52

    41

    It has been observed that individuals sticking to an organization for a longer span are

    more loyal towards the management and the organization: They enjoy all kinds o

    benefits from the organization and as a result are more attached to it. They hardly

    badmouth their organization and always think in favor of the management. For them

    the organization comes first and all other things later.

    4.3 RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

    The search for answers to research questions calls of collection of data. Data are facts, figures

    and other relevant materials, past and present, serving as bases for study and analysis.

    Types of Data

    The data needed for a social science research may be broadly classified into (a) Data

    pertaining to human beings, (b) Data relating to organisations, and (c) Data pertaining toterritorial areas.

    Personal data or data related to human beings consist of Demographic and socio-economic

    characteristics of individuals like age, sex, race, social class, religion, marital status,

    education, occupation, income, family size, location of the household, life style, etc. and

    Behavioural variables like attitudes, opinions, awareness, knowledge, practice, intentions, etc.

    Territorial data are related to geophysical characteristics, resources endowment, population,

    occupational pattern, infrastructure, economic structure, degree of development, etc. of

    spatial divisions like villages, cities, state/ regions and the nation.

    Importance of data

    The data serve as the bases or raw materials for analysis. Without an analysis of factual data,

    no specific inferences can be drawn on the questions under study. Inferences based on

    imagination or guesswork cannot provide correct answers to research questions. The

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    42/52

    relevance, adequacy and reliability of data determine the quality of the findings of a study.

    Data form the basis for testing the hypotheses formulated in a Study. Data also provide thefacts and figures required for constructing measurement scales and tables, which are analysed

    with statistical techniques. Inferences on the results of statistical, analysis and tests of

    significance provide the answers to research questions. Thus the scientific process of

    measurement, analysis, testing and inferences depends on the availability of relevant data and

    their accuracy. Hence the importance of data for any research studies.

    SOURCES OF DATA

    The sources of data may be classified into (a) primary sources and (b) secondary sources.

    Primary Sources

    Primary sources are original sources from which the researcher directly collects data that

    have not been previously collected, e.g., collection of data directly by the researcher on brandawareness, brand preference, brand loyalty and other aspects of consumer behaviour from a

    sample of consumers by interviewing them. Primary data are first-hand information collected

    through various methods such as observation, interviewing, mailing etc.

    Secondary Sources

    These are sources containing data that have been collected and compiled for another purpose.

    The secondary sources consist of readily available compendia and already compiled

    statistical statements and reports whose data may be used by researches for their studies, e.g.,

    census reports, annual reports and financial statements of companies, Statistical statements,

    Reports of Government Departments, Annual Reports on currency and finance published by

    the National Bank for Ethiopia, Statistical Statements relating to Cooperatives, Federal

    Cooperative Commission, Commercial Banks and Micro Finance Credit Institutions

    published by the National Bank for Ethiopia, Reports of the National Sample Survey

    Organisation, Reports of trade associations, publications of international organisations such

    43

    as UNO, IMF, World Bank, ILO, WHO, etc., Trade and Financial Journals, newspapers, etc.

    Secondary sources consist of not only published records and reports, but also unpublished

    records. The latter category includes various records and registers maintained by firms and

    organisations, e.g., accounting and financial records, personnel records, register of members,

    minutes of meetings, inventory records, etc.

    Features of Secondary Sources: Though secondary sources are diverse and consist of all sorts

    of materials, they have certain common characteristics.

    First, they are readymade and readily available, and do not require the trouble of constructing

    tools and administering them.

    Second, they consist of data over which a researcher has no original control over collection

    and classification. Others shape both the form and the content of secondary sources. Clearly,

    this is a feature, which can limit the research value of secondary sources.

    Finally, secondary sources are not limited in time and space. That is, the researcher using

    them need not have been present when and where they were gathered.

    We have chosen PRIMARY SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION for our

    research.

    * Questionnaire method

    Questionnaires constitute the, most prevalent method of information collection among the

    communication methods used. Both structured and unstructured questionnaire are in use in

    marketing research. The unit discusses various issues regarding questionnaire, their types as

    well as the steps in designing a questionnaire. A sample questionnaire is also included to

    familiarise you with the structure and design of questionnaire.

    A questionnaire is a standardised format of data. Collection . It is normally used when the

  • 8/14/2019 MDU 4SEM

    44/52

    44

    data is collected from a large population about their awareness, attitudes, opinions, past and

    present behaviour. While there is no standard procedure to construct a questionnaire, the

    problem, situation and experience of the researcher greatly influence the process. The

    respondents may be asked questions without any formal questionnaire or with a pre-planned

    properly framed questionnaire. There could be a number of variations in the use of

    questionnaire method of data collection. They could vary in terms of its `format' and also in

    terms of the way it is `administered'.

    The main demerits of this method include low rate of return of the duly filled questionnaires.

    It can be used only when respondents are literate and cooperating. The control over

    questionnaire may be lost once it is sent. There is inbuilt inflexibility because of the difficulty

    of amending the approach once questionnaires have been dispatched. There is also the

    possibility of ambiguous replies or omission of replies altogether to certain questions,

    interpretation of omissions is difficult. It is difficult to know whether willing respondents aretruly representative.

    Characteristics of a Good Questionnaire

    Questions worded simply and clearly, not ambiguous or vague, must be objective Attractive in appearance (questions spaced out, and neatly arranged) Write a descriptive title for the questionnaire

    Write an introduction to the questionnaire Order questions in logical sequence Keep questionnaire uncluttered and easy to complete Delicate questions last (especially demographic questions) Design for easy tabulation Design to achieve objectives Define terms Avoid double negatives (I haven't no money)

    Avoid double barrelled questions (this AND that) Avoid loaded questions ("Have you stopped beating your wife?") Phrase questions for all respondents .
