Engagement with external publications provides construct validityto the models hypothetical underpinnings.11.5.2 Review of modelThe review follows a hierarchy recommended by Punch (2000, p 23) as representedin Figure 11.4.Figure 11.4: Hierarchy of concepts (Punch, 2000)A deductive-inductive approach is used to review the performance model further.11.5.3 Deductive review of modelDissection of components into strategic key research questions provides the generalresearch question, namely to verify if differences exist between the two distinctprocurement methods and investigate causes that effect such differences. Thisprovides five specific questions in the form of hypotheses grouped into impact ofbehaviours and organisational culture on performance and performance measurementon project outcomes. The six hypotheses provide direction for appropriate statisticalanalysis linking data collection with a source of data and application of methods. Aview of the deductive process is shown in chapter four at Table 4.3.262
