Basically, simple descriptive and descriptive comparative research designs will be utilized. The descriptive part intends to characterize the three programs (recruitment, training, and performance appraisal) in terms of policies, procedures, strategies, and control measures. Descriptive research design is also used because it is appropriate in determining whether significant differences exist in:
