Why choose this project topic?
This records governance topic turns employee awareness of the office records-retention schedule into a focused final-year study. Its central question can be examined through anonymous staff questionnaire and current authorised retention schedule, giving you a practical way to connect workplace evidence with a careful interpretation. The brief keeps employee privacy, access and inference limits visible as you plan the work.
How well do administrative staff understand retention stages for selected document classes?
Choose the organisation, eligible role group, evidence period and approved analysis scope with your supervisor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define an eligible sample and scope for employee awareness of the office records-retention schedule.
- 02Document the approved evidence relevant to records governance.
- 03Interpret findings against the research question: How well do administrative staff understand retention stages for selected document classes?
A suggested research approach
Use an ethics-approved, voluntary recruitment route independent of supervisors. Pilot neutral questions, avoid collecting identifying or sensitive employment details, and report aggregate findings with small-group suppression. Separate self-reported perceptions from administrative outcomes. The evidence plan centres on anonymous staff questionnaire and current authorised retention schedule. Compare reported understanding with schedule wording; verify legal obligations separately. Agree the population or document sample, timing and supervisor-approved analysis before data collection.
What you will need
- Anonymous staff questionnaire and current authorised retention schedule
- A supervisor-approved recruitment, access and confidentiality plan.
- A defined coding or analysis framework for records governance.
Keep your project scope clear
Self-reported views from a voluntary sample may reflect recall, selection or workplace-pressure effects; they do not establish employee performance or a causal effect.
