1. Potential Title
The potential title of this research proposal could be “Analysing the Ways, the Personality of a Manager could Influence the Motivation of the Employees.”
2. Research Aim and Related Objectives
The research aims to analyse the ways, in which the personality of an organisational manager can influence employee motivation for the benefits of the organisation.
The possible research objectives could be:
· To understand the personality of a manager and the concept of employee motivation
· To analyse critically the significance of employee motivation in an organisation
· To evaluate critically the role of the manager’s personality in motivating the employees
· To recommend suitable ways to implement managerial personality in motivating employees
3. Research Rationale
Motivation is one of the integral factor for improving the perfume of the employee. However, as argued by Ucbasaran et al. (2013), the quality of motivation by the manager depends on their personality. Therefore, this topic has been chosen for the research work to identify the impacts of personality of manager on employee motivation. The research will identify the impact on personality of manager on employee motivation in the retail sector of United Kingdom. TESCO being one of the most prominent retail chain in UK has been chosen for the research.
4. Background of the Research and Literature Review

The personality of the manager directly influences the nature and actions of the employees. The manager may be strict or soft natured. However, the way they get their work done effects the morale of the employees.
Employee Motivation
Motivation has a significant role in influencing the performance of the employee at the workplace. If the employees at not motivated effectively by the manager, then the employees productivity will decrease significantly. According to the perspective of Hur (2018), motivation by the manager helps the employee in overcoming stress and meeting deadlines. Every employee believes them to be cumbersome.
However, the manager’s motivation keeps the employee going. There are number of factors that affect the motivation of an employee. Such factors include compensation, relationship with colleagues, manager’s style and others. Managers play an integral role in motivating employees at workplace. As argued by Mikkelsen et al. (2017), compensations alone are not sufficient to ignite the urge among the employees to work hard. Work of motivation from...
