In this study, face-to-face interviews were employed to collect data. The researcher approached the Office of the Premier to describe the study and indicate the main questions to be answered during the interviews. The official suggested that the Deputy Directors and their Assistants were the most appropriate respondents to be approached.

At the end of the discussion, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed and entered into with the provincial department. After signing the MOU, the researcher was taken on a tour of the Department and introduced to staff members. The official from the Office of the Premier then sent out an email to all deputy directors and assistant directors, explaining the study and inviting them to participate.
