Data Collection instruments 
As stated earlier, a sample of 155 respondents was used and data was collected by 
means of questionnaires and personal interviews that were self administered by the 
researcher.
The questionnaires were used to reduce cost, save time and avoid prejudice. The first 3 
questions were on HR practices in NAWEC. The rest centered on issues related to 
employee commitment and felt obligation, Work attitudes and behaviours, Decision 
making and finally on basic demographic data that was not too personal. Open ended 
questions were used for the interview to understand the reasons for the attitudes and 
opinions of staff particularly at top management level. The interview provided rich and 
detailed answers that threw more light on the responses of the questionnaires. As the 
nature of the study is explorative, the use of the interviewing techniques reduced 


33 
possible misunderstandings because the researcher ensured that all the questions were 
clear to respondents.
3.4.1 Questionnaire 
 
Based on the purposive nature of the study 155 questionnaires were distributed to all the 
four categories of staff company-wide. Among these employees, 127 responded 
yielding a response rate of 82%. The questionnaires were used to reduce cost, save time 
and avoid prejudice. The first 3 questions were on HR practices in NAWEC. The rest 
centred on issues related to employee commitment and felt obligation, Work attitudes 
and behaviours, Decision making and finally on basic demographic data that was not 
too personal. These broad components form the selected bundle of HR practices that the 
research seeks to explore. Thus the questions on the questionnaire were able to answer 
the research questions and achieve the research objectives.
