QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: INTERVIEW

        It can be seen that this interview is qualitative research because in this method different interviews are taken from different members for understanding the main point of view of the subject (Kvale&Brinkmann, 2009). Through this, the researchers are able to learn about the attitude of the interviewer in detail and he can get familiar with many new things that are not the part of the research (Kvale&Brinkmann, 2009).

        The most important part of the narrative interview is the context of experience. This means that if your experience is high then you are able to guide the interview with perfection. For a narrative interview, it is necessary that open questions are prepared properly and can be answered properly by the interviewer. (H. Mayer, 2004). In this research guided interview is applied.

        The best advantage of the prepared question in the guided interview is that interviewer is able to answer each and every question with perfection and avoid overlooking. Moreover, it will also ensure comparability between the different views of the research. The interviewer will discuss the same question in detail and through this, it will become extremely easy for the researcher to evaluate main results (H. Mayer, 2004).

        For selecting the scope for interviews, it is more important for the researcher to evaluate the main time of the interview. It is noted that resources are extremely important primary limiting factors for handling a large number of interviews (H. Mayer, 2004). For completing this research, 5 most experienced project management professionals were interviewed according to the resources. Those are senior project manager form different industries in Saudi Arabia. All are PMP certified

        It can be seen that this research interview is conducted in seven important phases (Kvale&Brinkmann, 2009): these phases are missing designing interview verifying, transcribing analysis, and reporting. H. Mayer (2004) has recommended at least three phases of development that include the performance of the interview, development of the guideline, and its evaluation. Kvale and Brinkmann (2009), both of them have strong and valuable similarities in their work regarding the interview they have explained in detail about the execution of the research interview. It is noted that for interviewing in a proper way research is required. In the "missing", there are some research questions that are started with why, how, and what. Then after this in designing, there is complete information about how to perform the required interview. It will help to provide the main point that is regarding the interview like time, resources, and also some points that are related to the quality (Kvale&Brinkmann, 2009).

        Authors are involved in discussing a similar topic regarding the development of a guideline for the perfect research interview. The third phase of Kvale and Brinkmann (2009) relates to H. Mayer's (2004) second phase. All of these authors are involved in discussing the main point that is about conducting the main interview. After the completion of the main interview, post-interview is performed in a proper way. Then after this, proper transcription analysis, reporting, and verification are performed for gathering the data in a proper way for conducting research (Kvale&Brinkmann, 2009). H. Mayer (2004) was involved in combining all elements into a single phase evaluation.

        This interview is added in-depth understanding after exploring the practical experience of the main participants. All of these participants are selected from a different population of certified PMI project managers located in Saudi Arabia.

        All of these participants are involved in sharing similar characteristic regarding the employment of project management, PMI certification, PMI membership, and long term experience in the field of project management.

Then after this qualitative data after conducting the interview is collected and is compared in the research process. This approach is also called as the phenomenological approach, and it means the ability to understand the main topic from the required knowledge (Lindgren & Kehoe, 1981).

        For conducting the interview, the time was extremely limited and that was about only 120 minutes or extra 20 minutes for the extra question discussion. This interview must follow all of these steps.

Opening: The starting of the interview must be from welcoming the main participant by introducing him.

Introduction: The introduction of the research was given in detail and this isn't more than 5 minutes. In this time, the participant must have to introduce their research topic in detail. This is because it's the general purpose of the interview.

Questions: Then after this the main research, the question were asked by the researcher in detail and it is one of the major steps of interviewing.

Closing: In the last 5 minutes, the researcher has to give a proper overview of the research in detail by discussing the main outcomes.

Also, the interviewer has to give a short explanation about the given research topic because through this, it will become easy for the researcher to examine his point (R. Krueger & Casey, 2009).
