Ethical Considerations

After the participants were recognized, informed consent was sought from them. This stage was first accomplished through reading with the participants both informed consents of participation and tape-recording and asking them to sign to acknowledge and prove their consent. Steffen (2016), stated that ethical considerations are significant in research particularly in a qualitative research context, as researchers are in an authoritative position when interpreting participant's words. Before gathering the data, the major ethical issues concerning anonymity and confidentiality, consent, privacy and safety of the participants will deal with it. Participants were informed about the confidentiality clause. In this issue, it implies the protection of personal information. Indeed, it means keeping a participant's factual data between the researcher and the participant, and not telling others. The researchers must do not harm their participants because respect shall be highly acknowledged. Besides, the researchers will establish trust with the research participants and will attain this by anonymity and confidentiality with the limits of law such as; the researchers will interview students about their experiences in working while studying thus, being nameless and having secrecy may keep the respondent safe and comfortable. The final report and transcripts will not reflect the subject's personal information such as their names although some participants have satisfaction with their details being transcribed. After the transcription, keeping the tapes in a safe and confidential place, destroying it after the study is finished and when there is already a written report will be best for the participant's privacy.

Role of the Researchers

In this qualitative study, the researchers ought to facilitate with the entire data and information reflecting the part of both the researchers and research participants as a medium of providing context. As indicated by Greenbank (2003), the qualitative researcher needs to depict significant aspects and perception of self, including any predispositions and assumptions, any desires, and encounters to qualify his or her capacity to conduct the research. The researchers provided all of the information of the study before, during, and after the process.
The researchers begin by outlining interview questions and guidelines to acquire the data needed for this study. Upon constructing the interview questions and guide, the researchers then provided permission letters that were specified to the administration and research participants for their perusal and approval. Once the consents are signed, the researchers will then proceed to do the In-depth interview. The researchers will provide raw data, transcribe the acquired records, analyze and encode the data, and synthesize the information. The findings were verified by a third-party evaluator and were submitted to the research participants to know if the data are subject to changes before publishing the transcribed context.
