A finite group \(G\) is said to be a POS-group if for each \(x\) in \(G\) the cardinality of the set \(\{y\in G\mid o(y)=o(x)\}\) is a divisor of the order of \(G\) [see \textit{C. E. Finch} and \textit{L. Jones}, Am. Math. Mon. 109, No. 6, 517-524 (2002; Zbl 1058.11009)]. In this paper, the authors discuss the three questions posed in the above reference, provide a new proof to one of these questions and evidence to support answers to the other two questions.
