“…Purposive sampling was used to derive the ideal population sample in the three geographical zones; this non-probability method offers the benefit of using a target sample that fits our research inquiry (Rowley, 2014;Teddlie & Yu, 2007). The interviews and discussions provided practical experience and realities of MSMEs in their daily activities.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of work experience, education and location on work satisfaction in Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. A survey design of employees in 450 MSMEs across four states and business segments were used; 375 employees (83%) respondents were suitable for analysis. The Questionnaire measured demographics, location, education and experience as variables and data was analyzed using regression and correlation. The results suggest a significant positive relationship between educational qualifications, location and work satisfaction and negative correlation of previous experience and work satisfaction.

“…This process also involves checking the data for respondent eligibility and consistency in classification. Field (2013) and Rowley (2014), emphasis that SPSS can help the researcher to check and verify data and to generate descriptive statistics and charts, graphs to describe and explore the data and also offers a range of statistics for exploring relationships between variables. All responses were deliberately coded in numerical form because data analysis was to be performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).…”

The construction sector continues to play a significant role in the socio-economic development of many nations, most importantly, today's emerging economies. Although the sector is labour intensive and employees play critical roles in various projects and their success, there has been little research on people management practices and policies. Obtaining data from 617 employees working in eight Botswana construction companies, this study investigates employees' perceptions of job insecurity and conflict in domestic-owned and Chinese-owned companies. The results show that there is a significant positive relationship between temporary work and perception of job insecurity and as such, job insecurity is positively related to conflict; these have large and significant impacts on deviant workplace behaviour. Also, there is statistically significant difference between males and females in both types of companies on how they perceive job insecurity as the cause of conflict, which needs to be addressed in human resource management to ensure better labour relations and higher labour productivity.

“…As the name implies, convenience sampling is a specific type of non-probability sampling method that relies on data collection from population numbers who are conveniently available to participate in the study. Researchers used sample cases that are accessible, such as certain organisations or certain members on social networking sites as their participants (Rowley, 2014). The advantages of convenience sampling are the simplicity of producing the sampling and ease of research, data collection can be facilitated in a short duration of time and with cost effectiveness.…”

Furthermore, this study attempts to use a combination of TPB and supplier selection criteria models to examine these factors. The increase of market globalisation and competition enabled by Internet-based technologies has contributed to significant changes in the order of stages in supplier selection factors, as well as introducing new criteria to the supplier selection process. As described above, gaps exist in previous research in this area, and there is an overall lack of research on this topic in Asian counties. Due to the lack of existing studies, this study contributes research by investigating the effects of quantity, quality, relationship, reliability, flexibility, delivery and cost on intention and their impacts on the behaviour of online sellers in Malaysia.It is hoped that this research will assist online sellers in selecting the correct supplier for their business, whilst reducing the overall costand enhancing business competency and clientservices.
