40, 12 horas

Explanation:
Off en este contexto significa que son 40 entrevistas (de duración total 12 horas). En español no añadiríamos ninguna expresión, simplemente diríamos 40 entrevistas (12 horas).

En tu segunda frase, serían 24 cuestionarios sobre actividades actuales y 18 sobre percepciones.

Explanation:
para los cuestionarios "completados/realizados/respondidos"

el detalle está en la página 76 del documento:

"The size of the data set in both cases was summarised in the last chapter in Figure 4-3. In the ABB VG case study 21 semi-structured interviews and 19 incidental interactions took place. This included the core research group of 10 plus other employees at managerial level, bringing the total personnel involved to 16. This totaled over 130 record sheets and nearly 12 hours of interaction. 24 completed questionnaires and 174 days worth of activity was recorded through daily diaries."

"The Lever case yielded 16 semi-structured interviews and over 30 incidental interactions from a core group of 12 and total of 18. This totaled around 80 record sheets and over 13 hours of interaction. 18 completed questionnaires and 35 days worth of daily diary activity
completed the formal data set."
