This assignment is a project proposal which is the first step to the next assignment ( Project report). So first I need a good quantitative research project proposal on one of the topics (marketing, HR, accounting or management).
According to requirements, we can use minimum of 20 peer-reviewed articles for literature review but you can't use article data for analysis. we need raw data for analysis from government, companies annual or other valid reports. I attached the marking rubric and a best example on quantitative research according to requirements. You can use mining industry but you need to change the dependent and independent variables.Most improtantly, this proposel leads to main report so I need the same tutor for both assignments. This Proposal is 1750 words and main report is 3000 words. If you make a good proposal then its better for you to make main project report.



BUSN20019 ASSESSMENT 2 – MARKING RUBRIC In case of high Turnitin similarity scores, markers analyse the similarity score on a case by case basis and you will see relevant comments in your assignment, if necessary. If high similarity derived purely from reference lists and/or the fact that you may have copied the assessment brief into your submission, no comments are made as you can find this information out yourself by exploring the similarity score on your Turnitin report. Late submission penalties are being applied to this assignment as per the university regulations.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH
    From the natural perceptive, Australia is benefitted by its rich mines, which are source of multiple minerals and ores that have significant economic value, providing the country with an industry, which is more than 150 years old. Australian mining industry contributed nearly 50% of the exports done in 2007-2008, while its average contribution in Australia’s GDP is 7% (Export, 2018). The mining industry in Australia and its international significance ensures it to offer high employment scope, ranging from lower level mining staffs to upper level mechanical engineers.
    Considering the risk of accidents, leading to injury and fatalities, which is comparatively higher in frequency in the industry and it leads to higher number of employee turnover and losing of talents. The mining industry, despite its repeated attempts to upgrade the health and safety provisions and offering of benefits has not been able to stop accidents or employee turnover, although the frequencies have declined noticeably (Department of Mines, Industry Regulations and Safety, 2018).
    In order to reduce the legal issues arising after employee injury or fatality, the use of automated machineries have increased, however, the requirement for talent in the industry has not reduced, forcing the employers to get affected by employee turnovers, therefore, the focus of the mining companies should be focused towards improving the employee health and safety provision at the mines to retain employees for business profitability (Parliament of Australia, 2018).
2.2 FIELD OF THE RESEARCH
    Considering the role,employees play in mining industry, employee satisfaction and its direct connection with health and safety provision provided by employers have become a matter of careful consideration. The propose project explores the impact of health and safety provisions offered by mining companies to their employees, on the employee satisfaction levels and eventual impact on business, in context of the Australian mining industry.
2.3 RESEARCH AIM
    The aim of the proposed project is to assess critically the impact of health and safety at the workplace on the employee satisfaction, within the mining industry in Australia.
2.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
    Based on the research aim, the following questions are framed—
· What is the status of health and safety standards in the mining industry in Australia?
· What are the factors of health and safety of employees that generate employee satisfaction in the mining industry in Australia?
· How health and safety standards for better employee satisfaction can be formulated in Australian mining industry?
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
3.1 PAST STUDIES
    Focusing on the aspect of mining employees’ health and safety standards in Australian mining industry, Tynan et al. (2017) identified that the use of substance for employees, working in underground mines are allowed, hinting at the unethical practice indulgence for high profit earning.Considine et al. (2017) as well as James et al. (2018) on the other hand, discussed the issue of mental health ignorance and focusing on the physical health by mining organisational managements, which hints at the lower quality health and safety for the employees working in mines.
Elgstrand et al. (2017) in their research paper gives detailed accounts of mining health and safety issues employees face and how despite precaution and safety measures accidents still happen, hinting at the lower quality of health and safety standards in mines, in an international context.Shifting the focus towards a specific mining type, namely coal mines Walters, Quinlan, Johnstone and Wadsworth (2016) vented the fact that in a comparative scale, the health and safety offered by mining business companies are not satisfactory as the risk percentage remains higher than other sectors, making the employee turnover chances high.
Similar to the view that mining employers do not consider staffs safety and health issues, Walters et al. (2018) as well as Walters, Johnstone, Quinlan and Wadsworth (2016), showed that the severe health and safety breaches at mines, has led to the responsibility taking of health and safety representatives, selected from the side of the employees to claim their rights of a safe working environment in mines.
    Focusing on the aspect of satisfaction of mining employees Smit, De Beer and Pienaar (2016) in their literary piece showed that mining sector employees go through a lot of stress at the workplace due to the risky nature of the job they indulge in and such a circumstance, the...
