AS PER SUPERVISOR IN REGARDS TO THE INTRODUCTION:
It should be covering two things in more or less equal proportions – the research problem (you need to make it clear that there is a problem as if there is not, there is not reason for any research!) and the research context – ie the context in which the data will be gathered – the organisation, climate of that, the culture of the org, recent big events, what people are talking about, big issues, priorities, the relationship between workers and management and so on – the aim is to give the reader a ‘feel ‘ for what it is like to be in there right now. The research problem might not be a problem for management, it might be that the problem is we don’t know if current PM practices help or hinder! or that policy is translated into practice, or what workers actually do in response to PM and so on.
**** NOTE TO THE WRITER: the reaserch focus is on the employees views and behaviour in response to Performance management practices.
