The aim of this workshop is to provide a practical guide for work and organisational psychology researchers, especially those more familiar with quantitative methods, to get started with qualitative interview approaches. Karen and Luke will focus on qualitative interviews as they are the most common method adopted in qualitative work and are often combined with other qualitative techniques such as participant observation or quantitative techniques such as surveys or experiments. The workshop will explore the strengths of adopting a qualitative interview design when conducting empirical research in the fields of work and organisational psychology, and the challenges faced in publishing such research. Finally, the workshop provides participants with guidelines for effectively executing, publishing, and evaluating research adopting a qualitative interview design, and highlights exemplary articles in top journals that adopt qualitative interview designs and of course we will allow plenty of time for participant interaction and questions.

Abstract: This presentation will highlight the work done at the Deakin University, the Centre of Refugee Employment, Advocacy, Training and Education (CREATE), to support humanitarian migrants re-establish their careers in Australia and obtain work that is commensurate with their skills and experience. Furthermore, highlighting CREATE’s experience in developing practical interventions to support people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds. In this session, we will explore re-thinking refugee re-settlement, what we do and how we work in collaboration with other institutions, the corporate sector, government, refugee support agencies and the community themselves. We will also demonstrate how we measure our impact and include migrants in the development of materials and programs to ensure their lived experiences are considered in user-centred design. As always, we will allow plenty of time for audience questions and general discussion.
