Questionnaire -Revised date Dec.5, 2016 not 18 Nov (Erbil)

Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings!!!
I have been rendering services as a development professional in different countries for more than a decade. My present role is HR Administrator and I have applied for a short term of two week training on Human Resource Management, as part of this training, I have to submit an article on any one of the HR relevant topics. I have selected “Working Hours”
as it is one of the predetermined feature of Employment contract of any employee and employer agrees and enters in. Am being an expatriate for many years, I opted to study working hours related to expatriates, whether the present working hours suit for the expatriate staff recruited by international non-government organizations to render their services effectively or not.
This study is purely for submitting an article and will not be used for any other purpose. If it is approved, it might be published in expatriate relevant journals.
I have developed a short questionnaire to understand from your point of view “does the extended working hours exterminate the enthusiasm of expatriates rendering services in developing countries, recruited by international non-government organizations? ”
The questionnaire is divided in to Personal and four sections. Each Section contains 5 Questions; excluding Personal total questions are 20. You might take less than 30 minutes of your valuable time to filling up this questionnaire.
Am grateful, if you could fill up and send this to me latest by 5 Dec Protected content .

Thanking you in advance for your time and valuable inputs for making this study success.
