Organisation surveys in Europe as a data source for WORKS
Comparing results Comparing method Comparing questions Comparing organisation surveys
Content Organisation surveys: Which? Scope Continuity 12 organisation surveys worksproject.be (Digital toolkit)
Comparing method 1: Population 2: Observation unit 3: Sample 4: Respondent 5: Questioning method 6: Periodicity
1: Population Not all economy wide Mainly exclusion for public sectors Few small organisations
2: Observation unit Mostly “workplaces” Interviewer as additional information source Adequate and reliable data sources are highly problematic
3: Sample Stratification generally applied Stratification in size, sector and region Several two-stage samples: organisation + individuals
4: Respondent Divergent and general Interviewer as information source Reduction of work load through combination of questioning methods Increased popularity of combined organisation and employee (representatives) questioning
5: Questioning method Oral, telephone, postal, web + combinations Oral yields best response results Most panels apply oral questioning
6: Continuity Few panels, although more analytical possibilities Fast succession of waves desirable Slow succession of waves: new sample added with part of the panel Continuity over time is desirable
