 3.LITERATURE REVIEW

The project title is "THE STUDY THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

ON EMPLOYMENT PERSPECTIVE”. This study examines how job behaviour
changed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the weeks following the events onset. Based
on the event, we argue that the onset of the pandemic created a strong event because it was
highly novel, disruptive, and critical.

The COVID-19 pandemic is producing unprecedented global health and economic disruptions.
Currently, there is more opinion than evidence, especially in terms of understanding how the
pandemic is impacting job seekers. A small but important literature has shown that large- scale
macro events (eg Recessions) can shape employment perceptions. Consequently, little is known
about how the pandemic impact job search and what organizations can do about it.

The pandemic has effect on the employment perspective during the onset of these pandemic,
these created the rigorous test of change and immediate increase in the job seeker. Looking for
the new job is uniquely difficult during the coronavirus outbreak because many organizations are
laying off employees and traditional ways of hiring have also been less.

There are many employment perspectives that are looking for a job to start after graduation or
after post-graduation, but because of the pandemic the job search has become even harder. Some
of the job seeker is who has been recently laid off from the job due to these pandemic.

Goals:

The goal of this study is to see whether the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the job
seekers. The job seeker has faced the macro events of disruption, higher novelty and critically. As
focused on how the onset of COVID-19 led the immediate change in job seeker across them.

 4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION:

This chapter aims to understand the research methodology establishing a framework of

evaluation and revaluation of primary and secondary research. The techniques and concepts used
during primary research in order to arrive at findings; which are also dealt with and lead to a
logical deduction towards the analysis and results.

What is research?

Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define research as
scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is
an art of scientific investigation.
A research process consists of stages or steps that guide the project from its conception
through the final analysis, recommendations and ultimate actions. The research process provides
a systematic, planned approach to the research project and ensures that all aspects of the research
project are consistent with each other.
Research studies evolve through a series of steps, each representing the answer to a key
question.

Definition:-

“Systematized effort to gain new knowledge”

-- Redman & Mory-+
The whole process is divided into following steps:

Formulating the Research Problem

Research Design

Determining the sources of Data

Designing research instrument

Determining Sampling plan

Organizing and conducting the field survey

Processing and analyzing the data

Preparation of Research Report and presentation

Steps:

Formulating the Research Problem

Formulation of the problem means defining the problem precisely. In other words, a problem
well defined is half solved. In operations research, we say that formulating of problem is often
more essential than its solution because when the problem is formulated, an appropriate
technique can be applied to generate alternative solutions.

Once the problem has been selected, the same has to be understood thoroughly and then the same
has to be reframed into meaningful terms from an analytical point of view.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is a basic frame work. This provides guideline for the whole research process.
The research specifies the method of data collection and data analysis. The research design
specifically deals with the following questions
⮚ How the data would be collected?
⮚ What sampling would be used?
⮚ Which instruments for data collected would be used?

Determining the source of data collection:

SOURCE OF DATA

Source of data

Primary Secondary
PRIMARY DATA

Primary data is the data that is fresh and collects for the first time and thus is original primary
data was collected through. Questionnaire filled by customer was one of the best methods by
which we can collect the data

The Primary data can be collected from:

 questionnaire

 interviews

 By observations

SECONDARY DATA
It is the data which already exists and has been already compiled by someone
Else .A data available in
 Records of the company
 Internet

DESIGNING RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS:

Depending on the problem various research instruments can be selected.

Questionnaire is a set of definite questions farmed to collect the required facts or opinions from
others. At the time of preparing questionnaire more stress were given on the following point to
prepare a good questionnaire.

- Type of questions

- Wordings of questions

- Sequence of questions

Questions are either open ended ,where respondent are given liberty to answer the way they
like or close ended in which standard or expected short answer are provided and the respondent
are expected to tick mark the desired answer as they think right.
The questionnaire method has following advantages:-
i. There is low cost even when the universe is large and is widely spread geographically.
ii. It is free from the basis of interviewer; answer are in respondents own words.
iii. Respondents have adequate time to give well thought out answers.
iv. Respondents, who are not easily approachable, can also be reached conveniently.
v. Large sample can be made use of thus the results can be made more dependable and
reliable.

SAMPLING PLAN:
The process of collecting observation from the elements of a large population may be
expensive, time consuming and difficult. It will be cheaper and quicker to collect information
from a sample plan of the population. A sample is a fraction of a subset of population through a
valid statistical procedure so that it can be regarded as representative of the entire population.
The valid statistical procedure of drawing a sample from the population is called sampling.

SAMPLE SIZE
All the items under consideration in any field of inquiry constitute a population. A complete
enumeration of all the items in the population is known as a census inquiry.

CONTACT METHOD
Once the sampling plan has been determined the researcher must decide how the customer
should be contacted that is through mail, telephone or personal interviews

Organizing and conducting the field survey:

Each respondent will be interviewed for the duration of at least 20-30 minutes. During the
interview a self-administered written Questionnaire was asked to the respondents. Keeping this
in mind the following points will be taken care of while asking questions:
1) Asking the questions exactly as they are worded in the questionnaire.
2) Asking the question in the order in which they are presented in the questionnaire
Processing and analyzing the data
After gathering the data from various sources, the researcher has to analyze it to sort out relevant
information. The unwieldy data should necessarily by condense into a few manageable groups,
charts and tables for further analysis.
Preparation of Research Report and presentation:
As the last step in marketing research the collected information/data and findings will be
submitted to the company and to the project guides, along with the opinions and observations
which the researcher experienced throughout the project.
CONTACT METHOD
Once the sampling plan has been determined the researcher must decide how the customer
should be contacted that is through mail, telephone or personal interviews.
Calls were made to the samples. Purpose of the calling was explained and also about products
and our company was explained and asked for appointment with the contact person. Contact
person was IT manager or the person who is handling the IT in that organization.
