THE INTERVIEW AS A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

Stefan-Dominic Georgescu and Ionut-Emilian Anastasiu

Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2021, vol. 15, issue 1, 969-973

Abstract: The paper describes the interview as an essential instrument in the social field research. Therefore, the main purpose of the interview is to obtain certain information about one or more research issues. Sociological theorists have argued that there are three fundamental types of interview: the standardized (formal or structured) interview, the un-standardized (informal or non-directive) interview, and the semi-standardized (guided-semi-structured or focused) interview. The semi-standardized interview has a pronounced qualitative side, its area of use being extremely varied, in this sense including both the field of human resources - the employment interview, the performance measurement interview, etc. - as well as that of sociology, anthropology, ethnology or psychology.
