3. Introduction A theory is constructed for explaining some phenomena, situations in the real world or any behaviourtype. In the case of a research paper or a dissertation, the theory is formulated to explain, predict and realise the phenomena which are assumed to happen inreality. In support of this theory, the theoretical frameworkis structured for introducing and describing the theory that can explain the reason for a reason for the researchproblem.

4. Research Methodology Research methodology is considered as a significant part of a researchpaper. The principal aim of this research methodology is to explain the techniques which are useful or can be useful for obtaining the data orinformation. A relevant and useful research methodology is very important to support the theory which is needed to beconstructed. Inspite of performing a thorough literature review, the research paper is mainly based on the findings made by relevant researchmethodology.

5. Types of Research Methodologies There are three types of research methodologies which are utilised in constructing atheory. Those are qualitative,quantitative andmixed. The mixed research methodology includes both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. Therefore, to understand the role of the research methodology in constructing a theory, it is required to emphasize both the qualitative and quantitative researchmethodologies.

6. QualitativeResearch In qualitative study, the main aim indicates to understand social phenomena by investigations and interpretation of various meaning as attached to theresearch. The key principle is based on subjectivity instead of making interpretations. The theory will be developed during or after the research work isconducted. In the second step, data analysis and data observation is performed based on the similar pattern and finally based on the observations or findings of the data, a theory can bedeveloped.

7. QuantitativeResearch In quantitative study, the enquiry is developed depending on testing the theory which is made up of various variables and those are measured based on thenumbers. It is needed to check whether the result performed by the tool and the prediction of the theory will be matched or not in this quantitative researchmethodology. In this case, the core principle is based on the objectivity and the study is found to associate with positivist or post-positivist or both types of the research paradigm. In deductive process, the hypothesis can be developed depending on the existingtheory.

8. MixedResearch The mixed research methodology is required to prefer where both the qualitative and quantitative research process is needed to follow in constructing atheory. In mixed methodology, mainly sequential and explanatory approached are used for evaluating the concept that has to be observed for constructing thetheory. The explanatory sequential design includes two differentphases. First one refers to the initial quantitative instrument phase and it is followed by the second phase of qualitative datacollection.

9. DataAnalysis Data analysisplays an important role in conducting researchmethodology. There are several ways based on which data collection is performed with the sample size. Those are online or offline surveys, questionnaires, direct interviewsetc. In quantitative methodology, data collectionis performed by surveys and questionnaires including close-endedquestions.

10. Conclusion The theory is mainly constructed based on the inductive or deductive approach of different researchmethodologies. The quantitative and qualitative research methodology can be carried out by considering suitable data collectionmethods. The sample size is also needed to choose so that it can support the measurement for constructing the theory with an unbiasedway. Open-ended and closed-ended questions are developed based on the research methodology so that an effective theory can be developed from the researchperformed.
