organization or any group might affect those people who are linked with them.
For example, these are teachers, parents, children, customers, owners,
employees, associates, partners, contractors, and suppliers, people that are
related or located nearby. Primary stakeholders are usually internal
stakeholders, are those that engage in economic transactions with the business
(for example stockholders, customers, suppliers, creditors, and employees).

not engage in direct economic exchange with the business – are affected by or

divided into six major divisions such as interpersonal activities, work situation and
job context, miscellaneous aspects, information inputs, mental processes and
work output. Following which we can have a better knowledge on how the

domains and skills undergoing PAQ can be scientifically and quantitatively
categorized significantly on behavior.
Group Interview Method:
Here, a number of job incumbents are simultaneously interviewed in order to get
the required job-related information. The results could be accurate but group
related problems could come in the way of getting information quickly.
