Scope and Limitations

The researchers investigated management perceptions on abolishing contractual

employment of businesses in Bacolod City. The study has congregated a sample from different

types of businesses and organizations that are engaging in contractual employment based on the

Philippine Statistics Authority 2014 survey of employment regarding statistics on non-regular

workers. The participants belong in the Top 20 result of the survey. It is with best efforts that the

proponents reached out to businesses in different industries in order to maximize the sample size.

The respondents of this study were the only entities present in the city that were willing to

participate because of the sensitivity of the topic. Most of the respondents originally chosen

rejected the letters provided and refused to be interviewed.

This study includes opinions of businesses managers and owners regarding contractual

employment and its effects on business operations specifically on financial aspects. Also, the

focus of the study is on the different advantages and disadvantages of having contract workers

involved in business operations.

Other aspects of business operations such as product control and financial aspect are

not given emphasis on this paper. The mere purpose of this study is to determine the

perceptions of the organizations’ management on abolishing contractual employment. The

reliability of information gathered and the results of the study are only available to

researchers based on Bacolod City. Given the time constraint, the study will be conducted in

the span of four (4) months starting from June to October of 2016.
