The form of question is of both closed and open type. The questionnaire for the research was framed in a clear manner such that it enables the respondents to understand and answer the question easily. The questionnaire was designed in such a way that the questions are short and simple and is arranged in a logical manner

.Data collection method:

Primary data:
Primary data is the new or fresh data collected from the respondents through structured questionnaire. The data was collected through primary and secondary source. For primary data collection a structed questionnaire with 5-point Likert scale was prepared. The questionnaire was distributed to the employee of the NTPC, Ramagundam for their responses

Secondary data:
The secondary data is collected through the structured questionnaire, literature review and also from the past records maintained by the companyFor secondary data collection company website were referred. From company website the profile of the company was taken. Sample Size taken for this research was 108 employees of NTPC, Ramagundam. Sample frame for this project is employees of NTPC Ramagundam

SAMPLING DESIGN: Collecting data about each and every unit of the population is called census method. The approach, where only a few units of population under study are considered for analysis is called sampling method. There are two main categories under which various sampling method can be put.
The two categories are 1. Probability sampling 2. Non-probability sampling The sampling method adopted for the study is convenience sampling under non-probability sampling. NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING In non-probability sampling, the chance of any particular unit in the population being selected is unknown, since randomness is not involved in the selection process. But this does not mean that the findings obtained from non-probability sampling are of questionable value. If properly conducted their findings can be accurate as those obtained from probability sampling. The three frequencies used non-probability designs are 1. Judgment sampling 2. Convenience sampling 3. Quota sampling

CONVENIENCE SAMPLING: In this project, the sample units are chosen primarily on the basis of the convenience to the investigator. The units selected may be each person who comes across the investigator, population is not divided, whoever eligible from executive as well non executive level are considered. For this

SAMPLE SIZE It refers to the number of elements of the population to sample. The sample size chosen for the survey is 108.

Tools and Techniques In the research SPSS 16.0 was used. With the help of it factor analysis was done. With the help of factor analysis the 29 variables was reduced to 8 factors.
PERCENTAGES Percentages refer to a special kind of ratio. Percentages are used in making comparison between two or more series of data. Percentages are used to describe relationships, it is expressed as. Percentage = (no of employees/total no of employees) 100 CHARTS: Charts are graphic displays of data for easy understanding of relative positions that is not always possible with descriptive words or numbers. Types of charts commonly used in business data presentation are: Bar and pie. BAR CHARTS: The bar chart is commonly used for presentation of qualitative data. The data can be continuous or discrete data, which are plotted against discrete data intervals. The vertical bar diagram, also called bar chart where the length or height of bars represent the numerical value of the event or measurement. Width or gap between the bars is of no significance to the bar chart data, but they are uniform in a diagram.
