The research instrument was a self-administered questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions. The thematic analysis method was used for qualitative data analysis, presented using narratives, while quantitative data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Inferential statistics analysis involved Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis in establishing the relationship between work specialization and the realization of superordinate goals.
