The Production Managers’ questionnaire yielded a co-efficient of 0.83 while the
Human Resource/Personnel Managers’ yielded a co-efficient of 0.90. The coefficient
for Production Managers’ and Human Resource/Personnel Managers’
Questionnaires were adjudged high and therefore, adequately reliable for
adoption.
3.5 PROCEDURE FOR DATA COLLECTION
The team of researchers from the ITF Headquarters took off in two batches to all
the FB&T companies in the respective States of the Nation that participated in the
study. At the ITF Area offices, all Research Schedule officers were co-opted into
the study as research assistants. They were adequately briefed on the importance
and purpose of the study, how the samples were derived, reason for the selected
areas and how to administer the questionnaires. On the second day, the
researchers and the research assistants armed with letters of introduction went
to the respectively assigned FB&T companies to administer the questionnaires.
The face to face delivery system was employed in the administration of the
instrument.
This method was preferred since it afforded the researchers and their assistants, a
higher percentage return of properly completed questionnaires. A total of Four
hundred and twenty four (424) questionnaires were handed out to Production
and Human Resource/Personnel Managers. However, three hundred and sixtythree(363)
of the instruments were retrieved for both the Human
Resource/Personnel and Production Managers representing 85% of the
administered questionnaires.
