Chapter 4
This section details the findings of this study. A total of 40 survey questionnaires were issued out
to 40 employees of private sector Company in Sarawak on October, 2018. The researcher
introduced the targeted respondents to the study topic by giving a brief explanation of the topic
and gave them a period of one week to respond to the survey questions. During this particular
week, the researcher constantly and consistently did follow up checks aimed at maximizing the
rate of participation in the study. After the completion of data collection process, the researcher
sorted the incomplete survey questionnaires from the complete ones for analysis and reporting of
the findings of the survey.
For analysis, the researcher ran both descriptive and inferential statistics (independent sample t-
test, one-way ANOVA, and correlation) and with with the help of the Statistical Package for
Social Science analysis software (SPSS- version 22) to study the relationship between the
dependent and the independent variables of study. The Cronbach’s Alpha value for the returned
40 survey questionnaires was established to be 0.673 implying that the gathered data was reliable
in regards to achieving the objectives of the study.
