The document discusses research methods for a proposed study on how salary levels affect crime rates across U.S. states. It outlines key sections for a research proposal, including an introduction with background literature review, problem statement, research objectives, proposed design, significance, and conclusion. Sample tables of contents and literature references are also provided. The introduction discusses stress as an integral part of life and how work-related stress can occur.

2. The research proposition on any exploration theme should essentially have a title which will be
the fundamental title of the exploration. For instance, if the exploration theme depends on how
the crime percentage or level in different states in the United States is affected by the
individual/family salary then a potential or intriguing examination title could be "A state-level
investigation on the effect of pay level on the crime percentage in the United States." Now, to
depict the foundation of the concerned exploration study, it may be useful to give some starter
outline or hypothetical foundation on the chose subject. Again alluding to the speculative model
chose for the effortlessness of the conversation, the analyst, for this situation, can feature or
notice the synopsis of the outcomes or results of the past investigations or educational writing on
the functional and factual relationship between the pay level and the crime percentage from a
general standpoint (it doesn't really need to be founded on the US setting). These data or writing
survey can be remembered for the Background or Literature Review area in the exploration
proposition just as in the real examination. The foundation or writing survey area would be a
more intricate in the genuine paper than the exploration proposition which ought to contain a
short writing audit or foundation/outline segment.
The main issue explanation or recognizable proof of the investigation includes any serious issue
or concern relating to the chose research subject that the analyst means to address and possibly
unravel based on the past writing and studies on a similar point or examination zone. Thusly, an
exploration issue or issue proclamation may basically concern any reasonable issue or issue that
exists in the bigger society or different measurements and parts of open life which is identified
with the chose subject and maybe the outcomes or result of the examination study could discover
new headings or bits of knowledge on the most proficient method to determine the concerned
issue or issue. For instance, with regards to the relationship between singular/family unit pay and
the state-level crime percentage in the United States, a significant examination issue could be
that low-pay people and families obviously will in general have higher power of different
wrongdoings for the most part on account of budgetary or fiscal reasons. Subsequently, this
could establish a fitting issue ID relating to the speculative subject which the analyst could
address both in the proposition and the genuine exploration paper and plan to determine
considering the potential examination results or result. Nonetheless, it must be noticed that such
presumption or hypothesis is completely put together or unforeseen with respect to writing audit
of past diary articles and exploration concentrates on the concerned theme.
The main examination question/s is legitimately identified with the primary exploration subject
that the scientist embarks to address. In light of the speculative model in this specific
circumstance, the primary examination question would be the means by which does the pay level
of people/family units influence the crime percentage or level across all the states in the United
States and responding to the exploration question would be the fundamental examination
objective or goal of the scientist which would require further expound research strategies and
systems, for example, recognizable proof of significant and pertinent exploration factors,
information assortment, information investigation, research result introduction and examination,
etc. It should be satisfactorily featured and clarified both the examination proposition and the
real exploration paper.

3. The research objective/s or objectives of the specialist essentially incorporates appropriately and
obviously addressing or responding to the fundamental examination question of the investigation
and further give new headings or valuable bits of knowledge to disclose the opportunities for
additional exact exploration or studies on a similar subject. It ought to in fact clarify why the
examination or exploration on the chose subject is essential to direct and what the specialist
means to accomplish or discover from the concerned investigation or examination and this guide
needs toward be obviously indicated both in the proposition and the genuine paper. With regards
to pay and crime percentage across different states in the United States, the analyst probably
means to discover the down to earth and measurable connection between the individual/family
unit salary and the crime percentage or level over all the states in the United States or how does
the previous influence the last mentioned and in this interest, the specialist can likewise descrobe
the applicable factors utilized in the examination the primary justification or purpose for
chooisng those factors.
Presently, the importance of any quantitative or subjective examination study alludes to the
pragmatic ramifications or criticalness of the investigation or actually how the possible outcomes
or result of a specific report would be helpful from a more extensive point of view which
incorporates the bigger society or different parts of open range. In our theoretical setting or
model, examining the connection between the individual/family pay and the wrongdoing level or
rate over all the states in the United States may uncover pragmatic ramifications on how salary
level at the individual or family may be changed or balanced well to diminish or control the
general crime percentage or level in the United States and it can basically be fused into the
legislature or regulatory approach to control the national wrongdoing level or rate. Subsequently,
the handy noteworthiness of this theoretical point can even identify with the wrongdoing strategy
structure at the national or government level. Consequently, the essentialness of any examination
theme or study should be unmistakably clarified both in the exploration proposition and the real
paper.
A layout or an investigation test of the list of chapters for the examination proposition and the
paper dependent on the proposed parts is introduced underneath:-

INTRODUCTION
Stress is considered to be an integral part of one’s life; stress can be any kind of worry, anxiety,
hassle, trauma, tension, pain or pressure. Stress is sometimes avoidable but sometimes it is

CONCLUSION
The modern hectic lifestyle is adopted by people in 21st century includes various scenarios were
every individual has to deal with a lot of stress. Speaking in terms of an organization, as the
various aspects of an organization changes holistically and it turns more complex, the
possibilities of stress taking birth and growing big in an organization also increases. Currently,
the studied and scientific records prove that the pressure at work place is the major sources of
stress. When the stress at workplace increases, the employee’s engagement level and there by the
productivity of personnel’s is negatively impacted. Human resource is the greatest strength of an
organization. In order to increase employee’s engagement, and to reduce the retention rate, an
effective stress management program has to be organized in all the companies. The study focus
on the stress level of employees in Universal Implements private limited .
The study reveals that, the stress level of employees at this organization is less, and the most
prominent factor contributing for this positive response is the healthy employer employee
relationship. The freedom and recognition is received by the individuals at work place has also
impacted their satisfaction level and has helped in reducing a stressful work environment. The
study also identifies heavy workload, overtime duty and low remuneration as the most significant
factor contributing to stress at work place. For an organization to retain its employees, the first
preference should be to recognize the talent and to provide the freedom of thought process to
each and every individuals, irrespective of hierarchy this will increase the employee engagement
and will have a positive effect on the efficiency of the organization
