RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

15
2.1 METHODS OF STUDY
RESEARCH - DEFINITION & TYPES
Research is the discovery of facts, development of facts and verification of facts. It is
an attempt to find practical solution to the problem with the help of scientific methods. The
research process involves defining and redefining of hypothesis formulation, organizing and
evaluating data, driving conclusions after a careful study. The two main sources of data in
social science research come from the inner world of library and the outside world of living
profile. We may call these two main sources simply the paper and profile, a wealth of usable
information. It is often uneconomical to spend time and energy to collect information. Under
the general rubric of documentary or paper sources we mostly consider historical records,
diaries, biographies and statistical records.

When we turn to consider ‘people’ as the sources of social data, we identify various
forms of observations, but more practically and primarily the interview and the questionnaire
as the techniques for the collection of data from this source.

DEFINITION

By Oxford Dictionary,

“Research is the careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new
facts in any branch of knowledge.”

RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is type of blueprint prepared of various types of blueprints available for the
collection, measurement and analyses of data. A research design calls for developing the
most efficient plan of gathering the needed information. The design of research study is based
on purpose of the study. It is a specification of methods and procedure for acquiring the
information needed. It is overall pattern or a framework of project that stipulates what i
information is to be collected from which source and by what procedure

16
TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

1. EXPLORATORY RESEARCH DESIGN

Exploratory research design means a research design in case of exploratory research studies
are also termed as formularize research studies. In an exploratory research the major
emphasis is on discovery of ideas and insights and hence while formulating research design,
we should permit it to be flexible enough, so that different aspect of phenomenon can be
studied.

2. DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN

Descriptive research design means research design in case of descriptive studies which is
concern with describing the characteristics of particular individual or of a group. Descriptive
study is fact finding in investigation with accurate interpretation it is the simplest type of
research. It is more specific than an exploratory research. As it focuses particular aspects or
dimensions of the problem being studied.

3. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN

Qualitative research includes “an array of interpretive techniques which seek to described
,decode, translate and otherwise comes to terms with the meaning not the frequency, of a
certain more or less naturally occurring phenomena in the social work”. At the data collection
stage, the array of techniques includes focus groups, individual in-depth interviews, case
studies, ethnography, grounded theory, action research and observation.

4. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN-

Quantitative research attempts precise measurements of an unknown. In business research
quantitative methodology usually measures consumer behaviour, knowledge, opinions or
attitudes. Such methodology answers the questions related to how much, how often, how
many, when and who.

5. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGN-

The purpose of experimental research is to test a hypothesis causal relationship between
variables. For an experimental research, two groups are required and compared in terms of
the assured effects of the experimental variable. The validity of an experiment depends upon

17
equivalence between the control group and experimental group chosen. There are two ways
of assuring equivalence.
They are
a) Randomization
b) Matching.

Hence, researcher has selected exploratory research type for study.

18
2.2 SAMPLING
Sampling techniques are especially useful in business research as many times large
amount of data are generated and researcher thinks of using a more measurable subsets of
data that they believe accurately the trends in the larger collection.

Sampling may be defined as the process of selection units (people, organization etc) from a
population of interest so that by examining the sample units, results may be generalized about
population. It helps to identify the target population to be considered for collection of data.
Sampling is an essential part of all scientific procedure. It is well developed in field of
biology, physics, chemistry and social science research.

An important step before the data collection is sampling. Sampling is a process of

selecting a representative part of a population, studying it and there by drawing conclusions
about the population itself. Sampling is a very important aspect of research and due care has
to be taken to arrive at a right sample to be studied. It is an important concept that we practice
even in our routine life. Sampling involves selecting a relatively small number of elements
from a larger defined group of elements and expecting that the information gathered from the
small group will allow judgments to be made about the larger group.

DEFINITIONS OF SAMPLING:

“Sampling is the selection of a certain percentage of a group of items according to a

predetermined plan”.
Bogrdus

“A sample as the name applies is a smaller representative of a large whole”.

Goode and Hatt

19
TYPES OF SAMPLING METHODS
1. PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Probability sampling also known as random sampling or chance sampling is one in
which every unit in the population has a non-zero chance of being selected in the
sample, and this probability can be accurately determined.

a] Random Sampling:
Random sampling is the simplest and purest form of probability sampling. It is a
technique in which every unit in population has equal and known chance of being
included in sample.

b] Stratified Sampling:
In this method the heterogeneous population is divided into distinct, non-overlapping,
homogenous subgroups called “strata”, according to some important characteristics or
variable like income, education, age, etc., and then a random sample is selected from
within each subgroup.

c] Systematic Sampling:
Systematic sampling is used to select a specified number of records from a computer
file.
d] Cluster Sampling:
This method divides the population into clusters at each stage and draws sample of
required size at each stage. Sampling is done in multistage.
2. NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Due to practical considerations, one often uses non-probability sampling even though
it is technically
a] Convenience Sampling:

Convenience sampling is a method in which samples are drawn at the convenience of

the researcher or interviewer.

b] Judgment Sampling: In judgment sampling or purposive sampling participants

are Hence, Researcher has selected Non-Probability Purposive sampling method for
the study.

2.3 DATA COLLECTION

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

Data collection simply means gathering and selection of information which is most critically
used for the particular research or survey being carried out. It is the important aspect of any
type of research study.

In accurate data collection can impact the results of a study and ultimately can result into
invalid results.

Two basic methods of data collection are:

1) Primary method
2) Secondary method

1) PRIMARY METHOD
in this method you collect the data yourself using methods such as interviews and
questionnaires the key point here is that the data you collect is unique to you and your
research.

The methods of collection primary data include:

 Questionnaire
 Interviews
 Focus group interviews
 Observations
 Critical incidents
 Portfolios.

The primary data which is generated by the above methods may be qualitative in nature
(usually in the form of words) or quantitative (usually in the form of numbers or where you
can make counts of words used.)

21
QUESTIONNAIRE

Questionnaire is a popular means of collection of data, but the difficult to design and often
require many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced

ADVANTAGES

 Can be posted, email or faxed.

 Can cover a large numbers of people or organization.
 Wide geographic coverage.
 Relatively cheap.
 Avoids embarrassment on the part of the respondent.
 Respondent can consider responses
 No interviews bias.

There are different types of questionnaire

 Paper-pencil–-questionnaire: they can be sent large number of people and saves

the researcher time and money. People are more truthful while responding to the
questionnaire regarding controversial issues in particular due to the fact that their
responses are anonymous.
 Web based questionnaire: a new and inevitable growing methodology is the use
of internet based research. This would mean receiving an email on which you
would click on an address that would take you to a secure web site to fill in a
questionnaire. This type of research is often quicker and less detailed.

2) SECONDARY METHOD

This method in which the data is collected from the past studies carried out.

The information contained in it is already used by some other researcher. This is the
method of taking references and collecting data from the data source that have been already
used. Some of the examples of secondary source are:

22
  Reports of the research carried out in past
 Journals
 Magazines
 Books
 Internet

Hence, researcher has selected Primary method (Questionnaire), Secondary method

(books, internet etc.)

TYPE OF DATA ANALYSIS:

There are two types of methods of data analysis:

1) Quantitative method of data collection

2) Qualitative method of data collection

Quantitative method of data analysis:

The type of information contained is numerical data. Such type of data is analyzed with the
help of statistical tools such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, frequency etc.

1) Mean: it is the average score of the sample.

2) Median: it is the score half way between high and low score.
3) Mode: the average response given most often.
4) Standard deviation: the distance from the mean, in which 66% of responses can be
found out

Qualitative method of data analysis

If most of the data is collected with the help of individual interviews, focus groups
interviews, open ended questions, or case studies than data analysis become qualitative. This
type of data is in the form of words which is analysed, sorted, and organized in the right
manner.

23
Methods of primary data collection

Primary sources refer to original events, documents and articles.

Example: newspaper articles, photographs, and diaries. These are the works that are analyzed
and interpreted to create secondary sources. These are three methods of the collecting
primary data.

These three methods are as follows:

1. Observation method
2. Questionnaire method
3. Interview method

Methods of secondary data collection

Data from a secondary source is any data which has been collected by another researcher,
whether it is a group of people or just one person. The data may have originally been used for
a different type of research, but you can manipulate it to fit you research, instead of using it
was intended to be used.

1.Library work:

This technique requires going through written text that have already done similar work and utilizing
their researches for our operations.

2. Internet:

Using online resources through internet is common for all in now-a-days. Lots of information
can be collected through various website.

3. Telephone:

This is a very common and simple method. The researcher only needs to have contact
numbers of sources from where he wants to take information. Telephone method gives quick
responses. From this chapter, i concluded that project report is very important. I come to
know the meaning of data, types of the data, there are many methods of the primary data and
secondary data.

24
2.4 PRESENTATION OF DATA, TOOLS OF ANALYSIS &
INTERPRETATION

Analysis of data may be defined as“ a process under which the relationships or differences
supporting or conflicting with the original or new hypothesis, should be subjected to
statistical tests of significance, to determine with what validity the data can be said to indicate
any conclusion”.

Interpretation is establishing continuity in research through linking the results of a given

study with those of another and the establishment of same relationship with the collected
data . Interpretation is the device through which, the factors that have been observed by the
researcher in the course of the study can be better understood.

Data preparation includes, editing, coding, classification process

Editing, classification, coding and tabulation are the important stages in research. It is at this
stage that mass of data collected during the survey is processed, with a view to reducing them
to manageable proportions. In other words, data processing which encompasses, editing,
coding, classification and tabulation, is the intermediary stage between collection of data and
analysis and interpretation of data. Thus, these are the three crucial stages in the processing of
social survey data.

There are some general common sense recommendations to follow when presenting data.

The presentation should be as simple as possible. Avoid the trap of adding to much
information. It is not the aim to include all the information you have but only a summary of
the essential feature you are typing to illustrate. A good rule of thumb is to only present one
idea or to have only one purpose for each graph or chart you create.

The presentation should be self-explanatory. A chart or graph is not serving its purpose if the
reader cannot comprehend the legends or has to refer to the text in order to understand it.
There is a careful balance between too much information which makes the graph or chart too
complicated and too little information that makes the chart difficult to comprehend or worse
misleading.

25
The title should be clear and concise indicating what? When..? And where..? The data,
codes, legends and label should be clear and concise, following standard formats is possible.

The use of footnotes is advised to explain essential features of the data that are critical for the
correct interpretation of the graph or chart.

Data analysis is the process of developing answers to questions through the examination and
interpretation of data. The basic steps in the analytic process consist of identifying issues,
determining the availability of suitable data, deciding on which methods are appropriate for
answering the questions of interest, applying the methods and evacuating, summarizing and
communicating the results.

Analysis is placing the collected data in some order or format so that the data acquires a
meaning. Raw data becomes information only when it is placed in a meaningful form.
Interpretation involves drawing conclusions from the gather data.

Analysis and interpretation of data are the most crucial aspects of research. It is considered to
be highly skilled and technical jobs, which should be carried out only by the researcher, or
under his close supervision. The analysis of data requires on the part of the researcher a
thorough knowledge about the data, judgment, skill, ability of generation and familiarity with
the background, objects and hypothesis of the study.

Analytical results underscore the usefulness of data sources by shedding light on relevant
issues. Some statistics Canada program depend on analytical output as a major data product
because, for confidentiality reasons, it is not possible to release the micro data to the public.
Data analysis also plays a key role in data quality assessment by pointing to data quality
problems in a given survey. Analysis can thus influence future improvements to the survey
process.

Data analysis is essential for understanding results from surveys, administrative sources and
pilot studies; for providing information on data gaps; for designing and redesigning survey
for planning new statistical activities and for formulating quality objectives.

3.2 HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION

Founded in 1945 as a steel trading company, we entered Automotive manufacturing in 1947

to bring the iconic Willis Jeep onto Indian roads. Over the years, we’ve diversified into many
new businesses in order to better meet the needs of our customers. We follow a unique
business model of creating empowered companies that enjoy the best of entrepreneurial
independence and Group-wide synergies. This principle has led our growth into a US $16.7
billion multinational group with more than 180,000 employees in over 100 countries across
the globe.

Today, our operations span 18 key industries that form the foundation of every modern
economy: aerospace, aftermarket, agribusiness, automotive, components, construction
equipment, consulting services, defense, energy, farm equipment, finance and insurance,
industrial equipment, information technology, leisure and hospitality, logistics, real estate,
retail, and two wheelers.

Mahindra & Mahindra was established on October 2, 1945 when K.C. Mahindra visited the
United States of America as Chairman of the India Supply Mission. He met Barney Roost,
inventor of the rugged 'general purpose vehicle' or Jeep and had a flash of inspiration:
wouldn't a vehicle that had proved its invincibility on the battlefields of World War II be
ideal for India's rugged terrain and its kutcha rural roads. Swift action followed thought. The
Mahindra brothers joined hands with a distinguished gentleman called Ghulam Mohammed.
And, Mahindra & Mohammed was set up as a franchise for assembling jeeps from Willis,
USA.

Two years later, India became an independent nation and Mahindra & Mohammed changed
its name to Mahindra & Mahindra. Ghulam Mohammed migrated to Pakistan post-partition
and became the first Finance Minister of Pakistan. Mahindra & Mahindra is the only Indian
company among the top three tractor manufacturers in the world. The Group has a leading
presence in key sectors of the Indian economy.

Its plants in Mumbai and Nasik manufacture multi-utility vehicles and engines are produced
at the Igatpuri plant. Utility Vehicles, Light commercial vehicles and 3 wheeler manufactured
at the Zaheerabad plant in Andhra Pradesh and three-wheelers at the Haridwar plant.

30
Mahindra Rise Logo
The Mahindra logo can be viewed as simple similar to other car logos. However, behind it
stands a significant philosophy of the company. Mahindra logo in its “M” identity represents
three equal divisions pointing upwards resembling an apex on its tip. The 3 Mahindra
divisions that were built by the company are: products, services, and possibilities which are
not symbolically included in other car logos. Aside from these, they also follow three basic
tenets—accepting no limits, thinking alternatively, and driving positive change in everything
we do. These promises made the Mahindra logo known among other car logos. The Mahindra
is a Hindu name means king or God or great Indra of the Earth.

 VISION:
Our Core purpose is derived from the Mahindra Group's purpose: We will challenge
conventional thinking and innovatively use all our resources to drive positive change in
the lives of our stakeholders and communities across the world, to enable them to Rise.

 MISSION:
Transform rural lives and drive positive change in the communities. CORE PURPOSE
AND CORE VALUES in January 2011, the Mahindra Group unveiled a new brand
positioning, Rise. It led to the creation of a new core purpose for the Group, along with
Brand Pillars that formed a bridge between the Core Values and Core Purpose

Mahindra Thar

The Mahindra Thar is a compact and mid-size four-

wheel drive off-road and sport utility vehicle (SUV),
manufactured by Indian automaker Mahindra &
Mahindra Limited. The vehicle was launched in the
Indian market on October 4, 2010 to fill the void left
by its predecessor the Mahindra MM540. The Thar
has been voted one of the top 10 SUVs available in
the Indian market. The Thar also comes with a 7 seated option, though it can be converted in
to a two seated.

Mahindra Scorpio

The Mahindra Scorpio is an SUV manufactured by

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, the flagship
company of the Indian Mahindra. It was the first
SUV from the company built for the global market.
The Scorpio has been successfully accepted in
international markets across the globe, and will
shortly be launched in the United States. The
Scorpio was conceptualized and designed by the in-house integrated design and
manufacturing team of M&M. The car has been the recipient of three prestigious Indian
awards: the "Car of the Year" award from Business Standard Motoring as well as the "Best
SUV of the Year" and the "Best Car of the Year" awards, both from World Wheels.

Mahindra Bolero

The Mahindra Bolero is an SUV which is designed to

carry seven or ten people. It is available in air
conditioned (AC) and non-AC variants. It is a very
popular vehicle in India.
The basic design is based on the Mahindra Armada
Grand. The first-generation Bolero was equipped with
a Peugeot 2.5 L (150 cu in) IDI engine which
produced 75 bhp (56 kW). The second generation was released with slightly modified

40
exteriors and the major change was the engine, a 2.5 L (150 cu in) in-house mill from
Mahindra.

Mahindra XUV500

The Mahindra XUV 500 is a Sports Utility Vehicle

(SUV) produced by the Indian automobile
company Mahindra & Mahindra and was launched
in September 2011 and by June 2012 the XUV 500

launched, it was code named 'W201'.

The XUV500 was designed and developed at

Mahindra's design and vehicle build center in Nashik and Chennai, and is manufactured in
Mahindra's Chakan & Nashik plant, India. It is the first monologue chassis based vehicle
from the company. To meet the growing demand of its hot selling model XUV 500, M & M
plans to increase the monthly production to 5000 units by Sept-Oct 2012. Despite being
highly popular in India, it is less known in other countries as much as the Mahindra Scorpio
is. Apart from that, the XUV500 also set three special stages ablaze by clocking the fastest
time in each. Eighteen months later, the XUV500 was born amidst carefully calibrated hype.
That build-up and consequent anticipation has translated into 35,000 XUV500s being sold in
the first year and another 14,000 buyers on a waiting list.

Mahindra Quanto

The Mahindra Quanto is a compact sport utility

vehicle (SUV) designed and manufactured by the
Indian Mahindra & Mahindra Limited. It is based

models share the same diesel engine. It is 7-seater
compact SUV, despite the Sub- 4 meter mark. It
recorded sales of 1,782 in the month of September, reaching the mark of 2,497 in October,

44
C] MARKETING
Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd is one of the most popular and recognized brand names in
the automobile sector. In order to retain its top position it has launched ad campaigns using
print and visual medium via newspapers, magazines, television, radio, back and sides of other
vehicles and billboards.

It is connected directly with customers on social networking platforms

via Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter and Face book. Brand realizes the power
of celebrity endorsement and has roped in famous actors Kareena Kapoor to act in its two-
wheeler ad campaigns and Varun Dhawan for its Mahindra KUV 100. In the year 2015, actor
Prabhas was appointed as its brand ambassador.

The company has been the recipient of several accolades and awards for its contribution to an
auto sector like Car of the Year; Best SUV of the year, Boldness in Business Award and Best
Company for CSR in India in the year 2015.

D] PRODUCTION
Mahindra’s automotive sector is a full-range player with a presence in almost every segment
of the automobile industry from commercial vehicles (3 wheelers / light commercial vehicles
and heavy commercial vehicles), utility vehicles, sports utility vehicles (from entry level to
premium SUVs), sedans and electric vehicles. The company’s manufacturing facilities are
located in Chaka, Nasik, Haridwar, Zaheerabad, Kandivali and Igatpuri, which is the location
of its engine plant.

E] CSR

One of the country’s more ubiquitous companies, Mahindra also happens to be one of the
most active and visible so far as corporate social responsibility (CSR) is concerned. Much
before the famous CSR ruling of the 2013 Companies Act came into existence, Mahindra had
pledged 1 per cent of its PAT to CSR activities in 2005. In 2014–15, its total CSR
investments exceeded Rs 2,000 million.

Mahindra’s CSR objectives are twofold: it seeks a unified approach under its overarching
‘Rise for Good’ mission emphasizing high-impact, focused projects targeting its chosen

45
constituencies, while ensuring a certain degree of commitment from every part of the
organization.

The CSR commitment

Mahindra believes that education is the key to solving the nation’s many social problems and
its CSR policy and expenditure is designed around this principle, public health and
environment being the other two important priority areas. Its primary target groups are girls,
youth and farmers, and its interventions are constructed to benefit them – the same is
articulated in its CSR vision. Aside from this, Mahindra also invests in the following areas as
part of its broader CSR outreach: eradicating poverty and malnutrition, empowerment of
women, promotion of art and culture, initiatives for armed forces and war widows, sports,
contribution towards funds aimed at SCs/STs and other marginalized sections, technology
incubation, and rural and slum area development projects. However, as can be concluded
from their annual sustainability reports, not all of these areas witness sufficient investment of
time or resources.

Mahindra’s key CSR programmers reflect its priorities:

•Scholarships and grants:

These are provided to

meritorious students who face
financial constraints in pursuing
their education, specifically to
students from low-income
groups for vocational training or
those who wish to study
overseas in reputed institutions.
Notable among these are the
Mahindra All India Talent Scholarships and KC Mahindra Scholarship for Post-Graduate
Studies. Some of them also get scholarships to study in Mahindra United World College in
Pune which has students from countries across the world and is housed in a biodiversity
reserve.

46
Nanhi Kali

Launched in 1996 and jointly managed by KC Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi
Foundation, this is one of the flagships programmed and focuses on education of the girl
child from underprivileged sections of society. Collaborating with 19 NGOs, it operates in
nine states in India. Until 2014 more than 100,000 girls were educated in total, and to date,
over 12,000 students have completed Grade 10. Attempts are also made to involve the larger
community to which these girls belong and educate them on the need for education and
gender equality. This is especially important as without the support of the family and society
it is difficult for a girl child from a poor household to transcend the limitations of her
circumstances and actually realize her personal ambitions. Efforts are made to track the
progress of the students who seek to pursue higher studies. In 2015, 33 NanhiKalis received
scholarships to undergo livelihood training at Mahindra Namaste, where they could choose to
be trained in customer relationship management (CRM), information technology-enabled
services (ITeS), or hospitality. It goes without saying that there is tremendous potential for
this number to be significantly increased. Interestingly, many of these children are supported
through Mahindra’s own employees and the programmed has seen partnerships with industry
competitors such as Cap Gemini – this hopefully can become a trend in CSR in India.

Mahindra Pride Schools

These provide end-to-end livelihood training in vocational areas like hospitality, sales/CRM
and IT, to young people from disadvantaged sections, including SCs, s and, other tribes.
Students are assigned courses depending on their aptitude and interest. Launched in 2007,
over 14,000 students have been trained to date with 100 per cent placement and average
salaries hovering around Rs. 11,000 per month. Currently, these schools are located in Pune,
Chennai, Chandigarh, Patna and Srinagar.

Lifeline Express Set up in partnership with Impact India Foundation, this is the world’s first
hospital on rails and provides health services, including cataract removal and cleft lip and
deafness correction, to people in rural areas that have little or no functioning healthcare
system, servicing nearly

47
Project Hariyali

Under this initiative, Mahindra commits to planting a million trees every year. In FY 2014–
15, over 1.5 million trees were planted.

ESOPS

The principle behind ESOPs, or employee social options, is to make CSR a core value of
every team in Mahindra and provide a vehicle for employees to ‘give back’. Employees are
encouraged to participate in initiatives like health camps and youth skills development
through this programmer—common enough among most large corporate entities. These
initiatives may be ongoing or one-time and are typically targeted at the elderly, disadvantaged
and rural populace. Many of these are designed to cater to specific local needs, such as a 14-
day programmer for women in the automotive plant in Mumbai to develop their personal
skills. Since 2006, over 1 million ESOP man hours have been dedicated to various projects, a
reflection of the importance given to this programmer.

Disaster relief

Mahindra regularly makes contributions to disaster relief and rehabilitation programmers,

either through charitable funds or rebuilding necessary infrastructure in affected areas.

48
Art and culture

The Company supports numerous cultural festivals in film, theatre, and music as part of its
broader effort to promote art in the country. The Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards,
Mahindra Blues Festival and Mahindra Lucknow Festival are a few examples.

Sports

At the local level, Mahindra supports community basketball and football leagues and
provides much-needed sporting infrastructure (for example, Project Ankur in Nashik) and
financial aid. Unfortunately, Mahindra United Football Club was disbanded in 2010 despite
its success and fan following. In lieu of this, the company launched a community-based
basketball league with the NBA. However, the association had seemingly ended by 2014.

Mahindra Foundations and achievements

The Company has numerous foundations and trusts that work as its de facto CSR arms. KC
Mahindra Education Trust’s flagship programmers are Nanhi Kali, Mahindra Pride schools,
and scholarships and grants, helping over 100,000 students in the process. Mahindra
Foundation primarily focuses on disaster relief and medical assistance and has chapters in the
United States and the United Kingdom as well. Tech Mahindra, on the other hand, works
mainly on the three areas of school education, employability, and technical education, and
runs over 150 projects across India. On the school education front, Arise is the programmer
through which schools are adopted for overall improvement; Shiksha Samvardhan targets
school dropouts; and Shikshaantar works with teachers for their skill enhancement. The main
programmer under employability is SMART, which works with disabled people and
underprivileged youth for vocational and on-the-job training. Currently, over 65 centres are
running in 10 locations across the country.

Meaning of kindness

Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. When you
consider those traits, it starts to seem obvious that kindness should form the baseline of any
civil workplace exchange.

Definition of kindness

this quality:

"If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble."
--Bob Hope

Definition of empathy

1. the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously
experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or
present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated
in an objectively explicit manner also : the capacity for this
2. the imaginative projection of a subjective state into an object so that the object

like to be in that person's situation.

From Wikipedia

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from
within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's
position.[1] Definitions of empathy encompass a broad range of emotional states. Types of
empathy include cognitive empathy, emotional empathy, and somatic empathy.[2]

Why kindness should be there in organization?

Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. When you
consider those traits, it starts to seem obvious that kindness should form the baseline of any
civil workplace exchange.

However, it’s also obvious that this isn’t the case in practice.

Let’s imagine what would happen if every employee and employer took a kinder approach to
every conversation, interaction, or decision. Here are three positive outcomes of more
kindness at work and how they impact engagement.

1. Kindness creates positivity

Being kind releases dopamine in the brain. This feel-good neurotransmitter gives you a
natural high, making you feel happier and more positive.

Studies by happiness researcher Shawn Anchor show that when your brain is more positive
“you’re more likely to be creative, intelligent, and productive. These attributes can spin into
what we perceive as ‘quality of life’ attributes - job success, wealth, healthy relationships,
and better health.” [Source]

How does this impact engagement? Positive employees (and positive leaders) build teams
and places where people actually want to work. It’s not about perks and playtime, it’s about
creating projects and purpose that people can really tap into and want to be a part of.

2. Kindness is contagious

Single acts of kindness often start a ripple effect, as others (both recipients and observers)
embrace the positivity produced, and share kindness themselves.

This can be contagious in a workplace, especially when leaders are involved. “The research
on emotional contagion shows that people are particularly likely to catch the emotions of
their leaders.” [Source]

53
How does this impact engagement? Small and random acts of kindness passed on from one
person to another make meaningful connection in the workplace. They’re the building blocks
of a caring, happy, and thoughtful environment where people can be delighted not deflated.

3. Kindness boosts productivity

If you’re worried that all these acts of kindness will stall business performance and
productivity, you’re wrong. Research by the Association of Professional Executives of the
Public Service of Canada (APEX) found that incivility “has profound implications on the
level of energy, emotional engagement, and performance of work teams.

Why Empathy should be there in organization?

Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from the
other person’s frame of reference. Empathic people are able to discern what it feels like to
stand in another’s shoes and to understand how another’s feelings can affect their behavior,
motivation and needs. Empathic leaders are aware of how their employees’ feelings can
impact their perception, regardless of whether they agree with or can relate to those feelings.
Leaders who feel empathy understand what their employees are experiencing and can
demonstrate their understanding by listening and responding in nonjudgmental ways.

There is evidence to support current views that managers who display empathy towards their
employees are more successful. The Center for Creative Leadership conducted a study
(see Empathy in the Workplace, A Tool for Effective Leadership) analyzing data from 6,731
managers in 38 countries. A key finding of the study showed a positive correlation between
empathy and job performance. Managers who were rated by their direct reports as showing
more empathy received consistently higher job performance ratings.

Colleen Kettenhofen, an award-winning motivational speaker and corporate trainer, believes

that empathy is a critical skill for effective leadership for one important reason – trust.
Without trust, employees tend to guard their emotions and hold back on their ideas and
participation because they don’t feel their viewpoint is understood or regarded. When
employees believe their managers will take their feelings into consideration and understand
their perspective, they are more likely to trust that their managers want them to succeed,
which can strengthen working relationships, increase collaboration and improve productivity.

54
Some people are naturally empathic and have an advantage over their peers who have
difficulty expressing empathy. Many leaders fall in the middle and can demonstrate empathy
occasionally but not consistently. Fortunately, empathy is not a fixed trait and can be
developed. Leaders can develop and enhance their empathy skills through coaching, training
and other developmental opportunities and initiatives. Organizations can encourage a more
empathetic workplace and help managers improve their empathy skills in a number of ways,
including:

 Incorporating empathy into the organizational culture from the top down by
demonstrating empathic leadership and highlighting the importance of managers
showing empathy for their employees. Organizations can establish the values of caring,
understanding and developing others as desirable leadership traits, and emphasize that
giving time and attention to their employees can enhance not only employee
performance but also leadership effectiveness.
 Helping managers develop good listening skills through training and coaching. To
understand others and sense what they are feeling, managers must be good listeners,
letting employees know they are being heard and that their concerns and problems are
understood. Managers need to develop active listening skills, including the ability to
reflect the feelings being expressed, read nonverbal cues, withhold judgment, clarify
misunderstandings and summarize the conversation. Listening to employees makes
them feel respected, builds trust and strengthens working relationships.
 Including the topic of empathy in management training programs and
encouraging managers to take into account the experience and perspective of their
employees when they are resolving issues, managing conflict and leading their teams
toward greater innovation and higher productivity.

Ways to show kindness at workplace

Here are a few easy, but extremely impactful ways to bring kindness to your workplace,
whether you’re starting a new internship or continuing your job.

55
 Meaningful Conversation: I understand that work can be busy and hectic. Often, it is
difficult to make meaningful conversation. The most you speak to your coworkers is a
quick “hello” in the mornings while you both grab your coffee. However, meaningful
conversation goes a long way. Asking someone “How are you?” in a genuine way can
mean a lot. Learning about your co-workers and their interests outside of work can make
the workplace a more accepting and open environment. I challenge you to take 5-10
minutes a day to make meaningful conversation – it can completely change your work
environment.
 Kind Notes: One of my bosses constantly left notes on my computer and desk with
messages such as “You are doing great!” or “I hope you have a wonderful day.”
Although this was a small and easy thing for her to do, it made me feel so much closer to
her. When I was having a bad day, these kind notes put a smile on my face. Take time to
leave a kind sticky note in a coworker’s cubicle. Write someone a letter of gratitude.
Your kind words may be exactly what they need to hear to get through the week!
 Smile: Although it sounds simple, smiling can make those around you feel more
welcome and accepted. When you run into someone in the copy room or end up in the
elevator together, make an effort to make eye contact and smile. This is a small way to
help someone feel seen, heard, and accepted.
 Plan Activities That Promote Kindness: Are the holidays coming up? Organize a gift
exchange! Is someone’s birthday soon? Coordinate a potluck. Is a holiday coming up?
Create a themed activity! Activities that promote kindness create a culture of positivity
in the workplace, making everyone feel more comfortable.
 Take Care of You: Spreading kindness and compassion to others starts with showing
these qualities to yourself. It is extremely difficult to be kind in the workplace when
you’re not feeling OK yourself. Do what you need to take care of yourself: get enough
sleep, take mental health days, and take a moment to breathe. The workplace can be
extremely hectic, and if you’re not kind to yourself during the high-stress moments, it’s
difficult to be kind to others.
These are just five simple ways you can bring kindness to your workplace, but there are
hundreds more! Remember: Every one of your actions will make a major impact in
creating a positive and accepting work environment. So on your next day in the office,
try it out!

56
Ways to show empathy at workplace
To start using empathy more effectively, consider the following:

1. Put aside your viewpoint, and try to see things from the other person's point of view.
When you do this, you'll realize that other people most likely aren't being evil, unkind,
stubborn, or unreasonable – they're probably just reacting to the situation with the
knowledge they have.

2. Validate the other person's perspective.

Once you "see" why others believe what they believe, acknowledge it. Remember:
acknowledgment does not always equal agreement. You can accept that people have
different opinions from your own, and that they may have good reason to hold those
opinions.

3. Examine your attitude.

Are you more concerned with getting your way, winning, or being right? Or, is your
priority to find a solution, build relationships, and accept others? Without an open mind
and attitude, you probably won't have enough room for empathy.

4. Listen.
Listen to the entire message that the other person is trying to communicate.
 Listen with your ears – what is being said, and what tone is being used?

 Listen with your eyes – what is the person doing with his or her body while speaking?

 Listen with your instincts – do you sense that the person is not communicating
something important?

 Listen with your heart – what do you think the other person feels?

5. Ask what the other person would do.

When in doubt, ask the person to explain his position. This is probably the simplest, and
most direct, way to understand the other person. However, it's probably the least used way
to develop empathy.

57
 It's fine if you ask what the other person wants: you don't earn any "bonus points" for
figuring it out on your own.

For example, the boss who gives her young team members turkey vouchers for the
holidays, when most of them don't even cook is using her idea of a practical gift – not
theirs

Practice these skills when you interact with people. You'll likely appear much more caring
and approachable – simply because you increase your interest in what others think, feel,
and experience. It's a great gift to be willing and able to see the world from a variety of
perspectives – and it's a gift that you can use all of the time, in any situation.

Here are some more tips for an empathic conversation:

 Pay attention, physically and mentally, to what's happening.

 Listen carefully, and note the keywords and phrases that people use.

 Respond encouragingly to the central message.

 Be flexible – prepare to change direction as the other person's thoughts and feelings also
change.

 Look for cues that you're on target.

Benefit of kindness

Remarkable Benefits of Kindness at Work

According to a recent study, people who were treated kindly at work repaid it by being 278%
more generous to coworkers compared to a control group. Research has found that kindness
encourages increased health and increased emotional well-being in the workplace in the
following ways:

 Increases Energy Levels. Acts of kindness release a hormone called serotonin which
generates a feeling of calmness and can even boost self-esteem.

58
  Increases Positive Perspectives. Kindness also encourages the release of oxytocin
which encourages optimism, lowers blood pressure, and promotes cardiovascular
health.
 Increases Well-Being. When you are kind, serotonin is released into your system.
Serotonin is the ‘feel good’ chemical in our brain that generates happiness.

Benefits of empathy
By Marshall Rosenberg
"Our ability to offer empathy can allow us to stay vulnerable, defuse potential violence, help
us hear the word 'no' without taking it as a rejection, revive lifeless conversation, and even
hear the feelings and needs expressed through silence."

"Time and again, people transcend the paralyzing effects of psychological pain when they
have sufficient contact with someone who can hear them empathically."

By maintaining our attention on what's going on within others, we offer them a chance to
fully explore and express their interior selves. We would stem this flow if we were to shift
attention too quickly either to their request or to our own desire to express ourselves."

”Empathy gives you the ability to enjoy another person's pain.”

The more we empathize with the other party, the safer we feel.”

”Empathy allows us to re-

perceive our world in a new
way and move forward”

”To be able to hear our own

feelings and needs and to
empathize with them can free
us from depression.”

 How to Practice Kindness in the Workplace
When we think about how to optimize success in your workplace, compassion isn’t always
the first thing that enters our mind. We talk more about things like increasing efficiency, sales
numbers, and billable hours. But studies show kindness makes good business sense and
there’s a lot of research showing some pretty compelling numbers. For example, employees
of companies described as having kind cultures perform at 20% higher productivity levels,
are 87% less likely to leave their jobs, and make fewer errors, saving their companies time
and money. The companies themselves have 16% higher profitability.
Whether you’re a manager or an entry-level employee,
there are many ways to bring kindness into the
workplace. Here are a few simple ideas:

 Get to know your colleagues

 Offer guidance to a co-worker
 Build a collaborative environment with idea sharing
 Check the motivation behind your words, decisions, and behavior
 Acknowledge co-workers’ strengths and positive characteristics in front of others
 Lend a hand to someone who is under a tight deadline
 Encourage employees to openly communicate and share their thoughts
 Organize occasional teambuilding activities and have co-workers submit ideas and
suggestions

60
How to Practice empathy in the Workplace

To start using empathy more effectively, consider the following:

1. Put aside your viewpoint, and try to see things from the other person's point of view. ...
2. Validate the other person's perspective. ...
3. Examine your attitude. ...
4. Listen. ...
5. Ask what the other person would do.

Title: Organizational Culture: The Indian Perspective

Date of publication: 07-03-2018

Author: Shalini Kumar

Abstract

Over the past three decades’ organization culture has been studied broadly by the
researchers. Nowadays Key factors in human resource development are knowledge & skills,
information and insight whereas values are being ignored. Just as unclean water cannot
reflect the shining glory of moon, so is a contaminated mind incapable of producing clean &
pure decision. As stated by Vivekananda that the Indian problem of organization is to found
at the root level of personal dynamics, he believed that one of the major organizational blocks
is jealousy this paper is an attempt to analyze the importance of values and consciousness of
each individual /manager in an organization. What are the keynotes about work from Indian
Psycho- philosophy? It also explores prevailing contaminations in our organizational culture
& further intends to find answer to question that while creating the foundations of culture if
values are being bypassed or overlooked then does it really impact performance? Is there any
link between organizational culture and performance? This study is based on literature to
understand the importance of organizational culture.

Title: Study on organizational commitment and workplace empowerment as predictors of
organization citizenship behavior

Date of publication: 10.09.1985

Author: Dr. ShineyChib

Abstract

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) can be defined as, anything positive and
constructive that employees do voluntarily, which supports co-workers and benefits the
company. These employees are always ready to ‘go the extra mile’ or ‘go above and beyond’
the minimum efforts required to do a merely satisfactory job. Human capital plays a key role
in achieving organization objectives with the highest effectiveness. Employee empowerment
is a strategy and philosophy and helps employees own their work and take responsibility for
their results. Organizational commitment is individual’s psychological involvement and
attachment to the organization and is very important for organizational success. It predicts
work variables such as turnover, organizational citizenship behavior and job performance.
This paper is an effort to analyze work place empowerment and organizational commitment
as a predictor of organizational citizenship behavior.

Title: Organizational culture and knowledge sharing: critical success factors

Date of publication: 20 June 2016

Author: Adel Ismail Al-Alawi, Nayla Yousif Al-Marzooqi and Yasmeen Fraidoon Mohammed

Abstract:

This research aims at investigating the role of certain factors in organizational culture in the
success of knowledge sharing. Such factors as interpersonal trust, communication between
staff, information systems, rewards and organization structure play an important role in
dining the relationships between staff and in turn, providing possibilities to break obstacles to
knowledge sharing. This research is intended to contribute in helping businesses understand
the essential role of organizational culture in nourishing knowledge and spreading it in order
to become leaders in utilizing their know-how and enjoying prosperity thereafter.
Design/methodology/approach – The conclusions of this study are based on interpreting the
results of a survey and a number of interviews with staff from various organizations in
Bahrain from the public and private sectors. Findings – The research endings indicate that
trust, communication, information systems, rewards and organization structure are positively
related to knowledge sharing in organizations. Research limitations/implications – The
authors believe that further research is required to address governmental sector institutions,
where organizational politics dominate a role in hoarding knowledge, through such methods
as case studies and observation. Originality/value – Previous research indicated that the
Bahraini society is influenced by traditions of household, tribe, and especially religion of the
Arab and Islamic world. These factors define people’s beliefs and behaviors, and thus
exercise strong influenced in the performance of business organizations. This study is
motivated by the desire to explore the role of the national organizational culture on
knowledge sharing, which may be different from previous studies conducted abroad.

Title: Conversation at the Border between Organizational Culture Theory and Institutional
Theory

Date of publication: 21(1):94-97 · January 2012

Author: Mary Jo Hatch1 and Tammar Zilber2

Abstract:

This paper reflects our conversation at the border - a dividing line but also a potential meeting
place – of organizational culture theory and institutional theory. First, we discuss the border
between institutional theory and organizational culture theory by exploring two notions
central to both - taken for grantedness and meanings. We ask what is taken for granted about
institutions and organizational culture and how institutions and organizational cultures
materialize? Our conversation reveals that although the notion of the taken for granted is
important to institutional theory and organizational culture theory, what this means and
implies is quite different for each. We also found that even though institutions and cultures
involve meaning and evolve through meaning making, the two are understood and hence
explored methodologically in quite different ways. So what seemed to be similar in these two
theoretical frameworks actually differentiates them. Nevertheless, and still optimistically, we
move on to suggest possible ways to bridge organizational culture theory and institutional
theory, specifically through the notion of identity - both individual, organizational and
interorganizational.

Title: Innovation or imitation? The role of organizational culture

Date of publishing: Article in Management Decision · February 2011

Abstract

Innovation is crucial for attaining a competitive advantage for companies. Innovation, versus
imitation, motivates companies to launch new products and become pioneers on markets.
Many factors have been shown to be determinants for supporting an organizational
innovative orientation. One of them is organizational culture. The objective of this paper is to
analyze the organizational culture that fosters or inhibits organizational innovation and
imitation strategy. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses a sample of 471 Spanish
companies for examining the hypotheses. Using hierarchical multiple regression analysis, it
relates the effect of organizational culture with an innovation strategy. Findings – The results
confirm the hypotheses. The paper finds that organizational culture is a clear determinant of
innovation strategy. Moreover, adhocracy cultures foster innovation strategies and
hierarchical cultures promote imitation cultures. Research limitations/implications – The
main limitations are that data in the study were collected from one source for the cross-
sectional design of this research. Practical implications – Managers should pay more attention
to their organization culture if they pursue innovation/imitation strategies. Moreover,
depending on this orientation (to be the first company to introduce in new markets or develop
new products for a market versus to follow a pioneer), companies should promote different
values and norms in their organizations. Originality/value – The main value of this paper is
its analysis and testing of the relation of organizational culture and innovation orientation.
The majority of the literature underlines the paper’s seeking after organizational culture for
innovation. However, this topic has not been studied in depth and requires attention to
different organizational cultures and innovation orientations. Keywords Organizational
