Need Help Crafting a Questionnaire on Attrition and Retention Factors for My Research Project

Hi everybody,

I'm an MSW-HR student and am currently working on a research project on 'A study of the factors causing attrition and measures that would enable retention'. I am in the process of preparing a questionnaire regarding this. If anybody has any insights for such a questionnaire, please help me with it.

You can post it on this site or email it to me at linzac29@gmail.com.

Looking forward to your replies.

Hi Linta,

Try to prepare your questions by keeping these points in mind:

- Select any particular industry on which you want to do analysis, for example, IT, retail, banking. This will help you to do precise analysis.
- Try to complete your questionnaire in 12-15 questions.
- Most of the questions should be closed-ended with 1 or 2 as Likert scale questions, and the last question should be open-ended.

Thanks,
Amrita

Hi Linta,

At the outset, let me clarify some doubts:

1. Are you concentrating on attrition or employee turnover?
2. Are you trying to identify factors or attributes? If factors, then a factor normally consists of few/more variables.
3. There are only two factors that you can attribute (am I clear in differentiating) - interorganisational and extraorganisational.
4. What is inter and extra?
5. What are your study objectives?
6. Are you going to do any forecasting on employees?

I think I've posed too many questions. Really not to confuse you, but it's to make your thoughts clear.

Hi Linta,

When preparing a questionnaire, you have to keep in mind that the rating scale should be from 1 to 5. The questionnaire should be in a closed-end format. However, when analyzing the report, the ratings for your project should be on a 1-3 rating scale questionnaire.

Thank you,

Hello,

I am doing my MBA. I am writing a thesis on retention strategies. Can anybody send me the questionnaire so that I can review it and create my own questionnaire? I would appreciate it if you could send the questionnaire to my email address.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am doing my internship in the social care sector in the UK. I am writing a thesis on recruitment and retention. I need help with the questionnaire I need to ask my colleagues in the office. What kind of questions should I ask the employees about why they think it is a problem?

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks,
Quinn

Hi,

I haven't seen your post. Please let me know where in the UK you are. What do you do? Are you an intern as well, and in which sector?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am pursuing my MBA in HR and am working on my final research project on the effect of human resource strategy on employee productivity. This is a comparative study between the public and private sectors. Please assist me in preparing my questionnaire, which should be on a Likert scale. If you have any suggestions that could improve my project, please let me know.

Thank you,

Nikita
