Questions and Answers

What is a key characteristic of structured observation in HR?

  • Representing the frequency of observed behaviors numerically (correct)
  • Being open to new revelations during the observation
  • Recording observations in the form of field notes
  • Excluding the researcher's emotions during observation
  • In structured observation, what is a common method used for recording observations?

  • Using robotics in manufacturing for data collection
