Proces badań obejmował dwie fazy. W pierwszej z nich ustalono, jakie badania były prowadzone w tym zakresie na świecie. W drugim etapie autorka przeprowadziła badania w formie wywiadów na próbie 56 pracowników branży informatycznej w województwie lubuskim. Wyniki badań wykonanych w fazie drugiej w znacznym stopniu nie potwierdziły wyników badań uzyskanych w fazie pierwszej.
