: The data were collected on a voluntary basis through convenience sampling —a non-probability sampling technique— and participants were granted confidentiality on behalf of their identity/information with a declaration of anonymity statement at the beginning of the questionnaire form. The distribution of the questionnaire was largely based on the confirmation and willingness of human resource managers of individual companies to disseminate it within a specific company and invite potential respondents to participate via a survey link. In each case, the respective authorities emphasized the fact that their willingness to disseminate the survey through their intranet was largely based on their bona fides; that they would assume no responsibility at all for any consequences, and that they would not allow their company or brand names to be mentioned. No informed consent form was distributed as companies refused to sign or let their employees sign any form of document prior to data collection for scientific, practical or any other tertiary purposes.
