CHAPTER THREE

METHODOLOGY

3.0 Introduction

This chapter will consist of the research design, population of study, sample
size, sampling method, data sources, and procedure of data collection, reliability and
validity of the instruments, data gathering procedure, data analysis, ethical Consideration
and limitations of the study.

3.1. Research Design

The study will apply a correlational research design using quantitative in examining the
role of Motivation on Employee Performance at Salam Bank Mogadishu Somalia.

3.2 Study Population

The study population will involve a total population of 840 participants and these
include; 112 participants from Salama bank line managers, and 728 from labors.

3.3 Sample Size

The sample size of the study will involve of 271 respondents of the target population.
This is so
because the nature of data to be generated required different techniques for better
understanding of the research problem under investigation. Besides, the approach is also
commonly known for achieving higher degree of validity and reliability as well as
eliminating biases as per Amin (2012).
The study will use Sloven’s formula to determine the sample size of the actual
respondents. Sloven’s

3.4 Sampling techniques procedure

The researcher will use a number of samplings which include; Convenience random
sampling, purposive random sampling and stratified sampling.

3.4.1 Stratified sampling

The researcher will use Stratified sampling method to divide the members of the
population into homogeneous subgroups before sampling like Salam bank labors and line
managers.

3.4.2 Convenience random sampling

The researcher also will use Convenience random sampling. Bank Salam labors will
randomly and Convenience be selected to give each an equal chance of representation.
All respondents were assumed to have vital information on the subject matter of the
research. Respondents who were willing to participate was approached.
3.4.3 Purposive sampling

The line managers will purposely be selected because the respondents are considered to
be very knowledgeable.

3.5 Data Source

Both primary and secondary data collection methods will use to collect relevant data to
the study. Data collection methods that will be considered in such a way that relevant
information was collected as much as possible with lift le inconvenience to respondents.
Primary data means first hand data. It will collect from the respondents through
interviews, and self-administered questionnaire. Primary data is important in answering
questions about the effects of decentralization on rural development. Secondary data
means to second-hand data. This will obtain from recorded documents, earlier studies and
some publications on decentralization and rural development. Other information will be
obtained from the internet.

3.6 Data collection instruments/tool

Questionnaires

Self-administered questionnaires will be used in the collection of data and these will
distribute to the Salama bank line managers and Labors provide answers. The instrument
was purposely selected because it seeks personal views of the respondents and thus was
enabled the respondents to use their knowledge in providing a wide range of data as they
were never shy away in any way.

3.7 Validity and reliability of the instrument

3.7.1 Validity

The researcher will ensure validity of the instrument through expert judgment and the
researcher was made sure the coefficient of validity to be at least 75%. The researcher
was consulted her supervisor for expert knowledge on questionnaire construction. After
the assessment of the questionnaire, the necessary adjustments will be bearing in mind of
the objectives of the study. The formula that was used to calculate the validity of the
instrument is
no . of items valid
CVI = x 100
total no of items

3.7.2 Reliability

According to Mugenda and Mugenda (2010), the reliability of an instrument is the

3.8 Data analysis

This study will explain, describe and present the findings basing on the specific objective
of the study and research questions where data analysis was initially done through
sketchy and generalized summarized of the findings from observation and conclusions in
the process of data collection.
Data analysis will be used statistical package of social science (SPSS v.22) under the
tool’s frequencies for objectives one and two and the Pearson linear correlation
coefficient analysis will use to test the relationship between variables in objective three.

3.9 Ethical Consideration

The researcher will carry out the study with full knowledge and authorization of the top
authorities of Salm bank Mogadishu Somalia. The researcher first of all acquired an
introductory letter from the university which he used to eliminate suspicion. The
researcher thereafter went ahead to select respondents and arrange for dates upon which
he was delivered questionnaires as well as pick them in addition to making appointments
for interviews to be conducted in order to ensure that data collection is done in time.
3.10 limitations of the study

The researcher will do this study seriously but there may be some limitations around the
researchers, these limitations may include:

1. The researcher cannot get all articles that I need.

2. The researcher could face Financial and time constraints; some respondents may slow
to fill and return the questionnaires.

3. Some selected respondents may be difficult to get reliable information.

4. Some of the respondents may not willing to give proper answers. So, they give socially
acceptable answers to hide the real problems.
