Be phrased as open ended, allowing the respondent maximum flexibility in answering what is important to him or her.
Follow up to seek additional detail where necessary, asking the interviewee to reflect on a particular experience if he or she shares general observations, for example.”

Specifically, assess the extent to which his or her direct reports as well as other employees in the organization are motivated. Review theories of motivation (e.g., expectancy theory, equity theory, goal setting) and propose one theory that may explain the extent to which employees at the selected organization are motivated.
