Abstract

It is not unusual for researchers to struggle in sourcing potential participants for interviews. This is particularly true when it comes to interviewing senior IT personnel. Critical to the success of such interviews is the careful planning and structure of the interview in advance and prudent use of the time allotted. This paper proposes the use of an instrument to complement the interview process, with a view to optimizing the allotted interview time. Such an instrument is presented, tested with interviewees and supported by links to a theoretical framework that is based on social cognitive theory.
