Abstract
This chapter addresses the second research question, whether significant differences exist in the level of support for PM among policymakers and practitioners. To assess if there was any significant variation in support for PM among the key stakeholders, a series of chi-square tests, ANOVAs, and the PSM quasi-experimental analytical technique were conducted to assess the relationship between participants’ professional positions and their support for PM.
