Operation managers are concerned about the increasing attrition rates in the call center.

Interviewees will ask open and closed ended questions that are both quantitative and qualitative. Which of the following is considered a qualitative open-ended question?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A qualitative open-ended question is a question that allows the respondent to express their thoughts, feelings, or opinions in their own words, without being constrained by predefined options or categories. A qualitative open-ended question can help the interviewer explore the underlying reasons, motivations, or perceptions of the respondent. Option A is a qualitative open-ended question, because it asks the respondent to explain how call volume affects their job satisfaction and well-being, which may vary from person to person and require elaboration. Options B, C, and D are not qualitative open-ended questions, because they ask the respondent to choose between two alternatives (B and D) or provide a numerical value , which are quantitative and closed-ended responses.

I thought B) could be qualitative too, but it’s more about a specific scenario.

I’m a bit lost on this one. I thought all the options were about gathering information, but I guess A stands out as more open-ended?

I practiced similar questions, and I recall that qualitative questions often start with "how" or "what." So, A makes sense to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about open-ended questions allowing for more detailed responses. A fits that description, I think.

I think qualitative questions are more about opinions and experiences, so A seems like the right choice.
