Constructing a questionnaire for PhD Dissertation / Thesis

Any questionnaire must be limited in its length and scope. In genereal, in the absence of special motivations for the respondent, an interview should not extend much beyond a half hour and even this length is diffiult to sustain without fatiguing the informant. Self-administering questionnaires should not, usually, require more than 30 minutes to complete, and even an shorter period is desired.

Whether the final research plan will use a highly structured set of questions for questionnaire, or a set of relatively open-ended questions for an interview guide, the researcher will find it necessary to carry out a number of unstructured exploratory interviews with the individuals who have most intimately experienced the social behaviour/management topic under study.

Technical issues with a questionnaire:

A.Cross tabulations and mock tables.
B. Spontaneity and flow.
C. Comparability and reliability
