How would you rate a research question as significant or not in your field?

Fisrt, what does "significant" means

Then, how we apreciate the significance of the question in the field.

Significant  meaning:

Do you think it's significant that he hasn't replied to my letter yet? (ex: cambridge dicionary).

The "no answer" here should include information which interest the receiver.

So, in researches, the question must give significant information to the field. "Does the question give significant (from sense) information to my field?". If that is the case, we consider the question pertinent.

But what means "give significant information"? It means that the reasearch question find, and/or product, information in the field itself. If the question doesn't find, and/or product information, in the field, it means that the question concerns other field.

Ex: Does the staff personality influences the employees motivation? The field here is management. Could us find or product information in management field -from management knowledge? Surely yes, we can find easily the answer in management (if it already exists), or prodcut the pertinent information (the answer) from the management knowledge. The answer of the question (the information produced), in trun, gives a significant information to management field, this is the second creteria. 

But, if we try to find answer, or prduct answer, for example, in marketing, or finance, or even mathematics, we will not be bale to do, beacause these fields don't have the answers, or the necesary inormation, and even the produced information (the answer) doesn't give a significant information to them.
