    CHAPTER 3

    METHODOLOGY

    This chapter includes the research subject of the study, the

    method of research used by the researcher, instrument and data

    gathering procedures, sample and sampling techniques employed and

    statistical treatment of data used.

    Research Method

    The research approach is Quantitative. It seeks to determine

    the perception of employees regarding Performance Appraisal and

    the effects of it to their performance where they are working, in

    terms of their demographic profile.

    Research Design

    The researchers used the descriptive research and gathering

    of data using survey questionnaires. The researchers were able to

    gather information regarding the perception of employees in fast

    food performance appraisal and the effects of it on their

    performance in terms of employees’ demographic.

    The Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically

    describe a population , situation, or phenomenon. It can answer


    what, when, where, and how questions but not why questions Shona

    McCombes (2020).

    Sample and Sampling Technique

    The researchers utilized purposive sampling in choosing the

    participants of the study. The participants will be employees in

    fast food only and non-managerial employees. The sample

    individuals for the study were selected from a different

    demographic profile and from different branches of fast food. The

    respondents needed are fifty (40) employees in total.

    Research Instrument and Techniques

    The instrument and techniques that were used in the

    collection of data are the following:

    First, the researcher floated survey questionnaires which

    consisted of three (3) parts using E-Survey: Part I comprises the

    respondents’ demographic profile. Part II consists of what is the

    respondents’ perception towards performance appraisal in terms

    of; Performance Appraisal is: To evaluate employees performance;

    To improve employees performance, salaries rate increases, or

    bonuses; Basis of employees promotion; It is important in

    management to attain a company's goal. Part III contained what is

    the effects of that perception on their performance. The


    questionnaire used by the researchers were structured such that

    the participants simply placed a mark to signify their answers

    chosen from a set of criteria/items provided by the researcher

    for each question.

    Second, the researchers did a validation of the

    questionnaire. The researchers prepared draft questionnaires,

    which were distributed to the participants of the study. The

    retrieved questionnaires were analyzed and adjusted to include

    omitted items and simplify the exaggerated ones.

    Then lastly, the raw data from survey form will be scored,

    tallied, and tabulated.

    Statistical Treatment of Data

    The following tools and techniques were applied to analyze

    the data.

    1. Frequency Distribution- The data gathered through the

    questionnaire were summarized, tallied, tabulated to indicate the

    number of responses to a specific question of item in the

    questionnaire.

    2. Percentage- This was used to determine the fraction of the

    sample that has the same factors.


    The formula is:

    𝑅
    %P = × 100
    𝑁

    Where P- percentage

    R - number of responses falling under a particular category

    N - total number of participants

    The obtained values interpreted using the Likert Scale. The

    concept of boundary of numerals is arbitrary presented below:

    Range Interpretation

    4.51 - 5.00

    3.51 - 4.50

    2.51 - 3.50

    1.01 - 2.50

    1.01 - 1.50

    3. Weighted Mean based on the data gathered using the five-point

    Likert Scale. The formula for weighted is as follows:

    Formula:

    ∑(𝑓×𝑤)
    WM = 𝑁

    Where:

    WM = Weighted mean
    ∑ = The summation

    f = The frequency choice

    w = The allocated points

    N = The total number of responses
