Eldorado hospital, Awka 11 74 × 66 10 Total - 66 Source: Field Survey, April, 2022 We obtained primary data for the study using structured and unstructured questionnaires administered to 66 staff as comprised above in table 3.2. The structured questionnaire was designed in using five-point-likert scale as strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree and strongly disagree. To rightly make sense of the research constructs, the responses were ordered and numbered accordingly as 5,4,3,2 and 1. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was determined by Cronbach alpha that produced a Cronbach co-efficient of 0.81 which made the constructs reliable since the coefficient of reliability exceeded the threshold of 0.7. The test of first and second hypotheses was conducted with the use of Chi- square while the third hypothesis was tested using Spearman Ranked Order Correlation Coefficient which is calculated with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The choice for this particular statistic for test of hypothesis three was because the collected data were ranked and required a non-parametric tool to produce a more reliable result. IV.
