Limitation of the study
In
the course of carrying out this study, the researcher experienced some
constraints, which included time constraints, financial constraints,
language barriers, and the attitude of the respondents.
In addition,
there was the element of researcher bias. Here, the researcher possessed
some biases that may have been reflected in the way the data was
collected, the type of people interviewed or sampled, and how the data
gathered was interpreted thereafter. The potential for all this to
influence the findings and conclusions could not be downplayed.
More

the study area, hence they may not be suitable for use in comparison to
other companies and locations.
