Hello Everyone,
I am a Ph.D. student, and my thesis topic is a comparative study of HRM policies in the public and private sector airlines, with reference to Jet Airways and Air India. Can anyone guide me on data collection for the above? I am unable to find the HR policies. Please help with your suggestions for the same.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Meenu,
First, finalize the topic with your guide. Based on my experience, this title might be rejected by the Ph.D. panel members. If this topic is already approved by the panel, then it's okay. Please inform me about the number of public and private airways in India based on your preliminary survey. This information will allow me to guide you more effectively.
Before commencing the research, please prepare a synopsis under the guidance of your guide. Once your synopsis is ready, it will assist you in the right direction. For any further support, please contact me at manjunath@mjhrm.com.

Dear Manjunath,
Thank you for your advice. It has been one year since I registered for my Ph.D. As you may know, for admission to a Ph.D. program, one needs to face the Doctoral Research Committee (DRC). My research topic has been sanctioned. Since there is only one public sector airline in India, which is Air India, I have chosen Jet Airways as the private sector airline to study.
Could you please guide me on potential sources for my data collection?

Hi,
Thank you for your message. Here is the revised version with corrections:
"Then you do one thing, don't depend on secondary data, go for primary data. First, study and collect the basic material on the nature of HR practices in the airline industry. After that, study generic universal HR policies in other companies. Based on that, prepare a questionnaire based on your preliminary study. Once you complete this stage, inform me. Once I have gone through your questionnaire, I will tell you how to proceed with the final questionnaire. When preparing the questions, refer to your synopsis where you give more preference to your aim and objectives of the study.
I apologize for my poor English.
Regards"
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you, Tayal, for attaching the project, which I could access. Here are some critical comments about the expectations of institutions rather than your project report.
It is amazing to see how poor the methodology section is. I could hardly find any justification of the methodology used by supporting the decision with previous studies and/or expert opinion. The target population is also not clearly stated. How did you conduct the survey, and where did the 100 come from? How many did you approach, and how many were willing to respond?
The recommendations are too general and do not consider the cost of implementing the suggestions.
The bibliography, especially those relating to material gathered from websites, is very poor. The details of some of the books referred do not include the date of publication.
There is hardly any citation of references used in the text of the report.
Finally, I wonder of what use was all the demographic data collected! I think you missed out on an opportunity of conducting a good study by not using the SERVQUAL instrument for your study.
Have a nice day.
I would suggest that you do not include the whole report but edit the data analysis part to include only some responses and delete the rest, to stop others from submitting your report to their colleges.

Dear Manju,
Thank you for your advice. I was also trying to collect data from primary sources, but the barrier that is hindering me is the cost involved. How can I obtain references from Jet and Air India for training permission? Do you know someone who has undergone training with these companies?

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your advice. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. course, focusing my research on the period from 2000 to 2010 in Air India and Jet Airways to compare HR policies.
It has been one year since I started my Ph.D. program, and changing the topic at this stage is not feasible. Could you please guide me on potential sources for data collection?
Thank you.

Dear Meenu,
You need to approach the companies; I am afraid you will not find the companies' policies from secondary sources. I am sorry to disappoint you in stating that it may be better to cut losses at this stage rather than pursuing with the research to find that your thesis is not up to PhD standard. I am stating this as an external examiner of a PhD thesis from the University of Mysore.
Wish you all the best.

Dear all,
I am a Ph.D. student researching the comparative study of HRM policies in the public and private sectors of airlines, specifically focusing on Jet Airways and Air India. I am seeking guidance on data collection for my research as I am having difficulty locating the HR policies for these companies.
Your topic is specific to Air India and Jet Airways and again very specific about HRM Policies of these two companies, that too for a Ph.D. You have to be very serious about the study you are doing and also about the authenticity of data and information you are collecting. The only way to ensure that is to directly approach the management of these two companies. There is a possibility that these companies may not part with the information you may need. But you should have thought about all these possibilities before deciding on the topic of your Ph.D.
Please provide your suggestions and guidance for the same.
Thanks & Regards,
