A descriptive study is undertaken in order to ascertain and be able to describe the characteristics of the variables of interest in a situation. For instance, a study of a class in terms of percentage of members who are in their senior and junior years, sex composition, age grouping, number of semesters left until graduation and number of business courses taken can be considered as descriptive in nature. Quite frequently descriptive studies are undertaken in organizations to learn about and describe the characteristics of a group or employees as for example the age, educational level, job status and length of service of Hispanic or Asians working in system.
