Methods and Research Design

        The research design used for the research is descriptive. In the research we will investigate the factors behind the current behavior of the Chicago employees towards the vocation. For the analysis of the current situation we will directly contact to the employees in the Chicago through the survey. In the research quantitative data collection method will be used. A questionnaire will be developed with the 5 level likert scale (strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree). The independent variable used in the research is budget and the dependent variable is vocations. The population selected for the research is all employees of the Chicago including males and females between the ages 18 to 45. However the research samples are selected on randomly and voluntarily basis.          

        In the research survey is used as the research method as through this we can directly access the targeted samples. Survey based on the several questions regarding employee’s behavior and causes for not taking and enjoying vocations, will provide us the actual reasons. Thus the purpose of the survey is to collect the original responses from the targeted samples and provide an overview of the actual situation. In the research statistical analysis will be used to reach at the results of the data collected from the survey. The research design and methodology is appropriate for the research as it has potential to target the right audience and collect the data without biases.       

        Different studies have shown Americans taking less vacations due to various factors. Some of the biggest factors which become the reason for decline in vacation were high cost of vacations. According to studies conducted in the past, the American work culture also play key role in taking vacations (Lipman, 2018).  Many Americans tend to focus strictly on career growth and development and steer away from taking vacations or planning time off. However, in recent years things began to change and employees are now considering vacations important for their performance enhancement (Lipman, 2018). The results have shown that employees are now taking days off so that they can go for vacation (MENLO PARK). The vacations are important for relieving stress and improving the thinking capability. The studies have shown that the employees who take vacations work more effectively after vacations which means that their efficiency and performance increases due to the vacations (PITSKER). Many organizations in America are now forming vacation policies and making vacation mandatory for the employees. The businesses have realized the importance of vacations because it is obvious that if the employees are not going to take vacations than the level of stress will increase which will ultimately decrease the overall performance of the organization. Therefore, it is important that the employees should take vacation (MENLO PARK). In recent years the declining trend of vacation is changing and employees have stated to take day off and spend time with their friends and family (PITSKER).
