Methodology This paper outlines the methods that will be adopted by the researcher in answering the research questions. The main aspects of the methodology that will be explained in this paper include the research method, research design, data collection techniques, description of the target population, sampling methods, and data analysis techniques. The validity and reliability of research instruments are also explored in this paper. Research Methods According to Tourangeau and Plewes (2013), there are three main research methods used in academic research. They include the mono-method, mixed method, and multi-method techniques (Tourangeau & Plewes 2013). As insinuated by its name, the mono-method involves the use of only one research technique – either quantitative or qualitative. Comparatively, the mixed method involves the use of both qualitative and quantitative techniques, while the multi-method technique employs two qualitative research styles (Research Rundown 2018; Tourangeau & Plewes 2013). The mixed approach is the selected framework for this review because the researcher intends to use both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. According to Research Rundown (2018), the use of the mixed methods technique is a relatively new area of methodological integration, which has only been widely accepted in the past decade. Simonovich (2017) says the mixed methods approach allows researchers to use two approaches (qualitative and quantitative), to transform research problems into research questions or hypotheses, and to vary sample sizes based on the methods used. Other key inherent characteristics of the mixed methods approach include the ability to use any type of data collection method available to the researcher, and the continual interpretation of findings, which can influence different interpretations of the research process (Research Rundown 2018). As highlighted in the introduction section of this paper, the aim of the proposed study is to find out the employment status and job satisfaction levels of hospitality management graduates in China. This topic contains both qualitative and qualitative aspects of the investigation, as alluded to in the works of Lin, Wong and Ho (2013). For example, it involves the evaluation of quantitative aspects of employee performance, such as unemployment levels, employee pay, and employment status and qualitative measures of worker fulfilment, such as job satisfaction, employee towards work and employee recognition (Lin, Wong & Ho 2013). The mixed method framework emerges as a practical model of merging both qualitative and quantitative dimensions of analysis into one study. It is also appropriate for this study because it allows the researcher to gain insights into the research problem, which could have otherwise been missed if only one technique was used (Simonovich 2017). Another justification for using this technique is its comprehensive nature, which allows the researcher to use advanced statistical analysis techniques, including bars, graphs and even pictures to analyse data (Simonovich 2017). According to Doyle, Brady and Byrne (2016), one of the main advantages of using the mixed methods research approach is its easiness in describing and reporting findings. At the sam
