The interest in qualitative research has increased in the field of Work and Organizational Psychology and its use has become more prominent. Conducting and/or reviewing empirical qualitative work requires an understanding of the purpose and foundations of qualitative research as well as of the considerations that underlie qualitative research designs and their application. 

This workshop will focus on qualitative interviews as a common method adopted in qualitative research – one that is often combined with other elements of qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The workshop will offer participants guidelines for conducting and assessing research adopting a qualitative interview design, and it will provide participants with resources and references to support them in planning and implementing qualitative studies. Links will be made to theory and research on the use of qualitative research as well as to exemplary articles in the field.

The workshop will mix presentations with group activities and exercises in pairs. Participants will receive the opportunity to consider and reflect on their own research ideas.
