Questionnaire research on the employees’ emotions |
Organizational DNA
questionnaire belongs to so called introspective methods which means that
people to answer questions need to look inside themselves. The question is
whether thinking about our emotions and thoughts to answer a question prepared
by somebody else gives us anything or not. Actually, the question is if any
text can evoke (recall) emotions that are inside of us? And whether all people
react the same for the same question? If we recall our emotions risen out of
reading a book we do not have any doubts that a written text can evoke emotion,
fury or anxiety. There are books that have been blamed for outbreaking a war
(ex. ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ is supposed to be the reason of Civil War). Questionnaire
is also a literary genre. The difference is that as opposed to novel, poem or
remembrance, in questionnaire we ask people to describe their feelings about a question
we ask on a certain scale. Questions like: ‘Does your boss treat you as a man?’
or ‘Do you like people you work with?’ evoke employees’ emotions. Our job as
researchers is to measure their answer adequately and interpret them.
