A manufacturing company is downsizing and wants to know the impact on employee morale. A computer corporation is considering moving its headquarters and needs to determine how many employees intend to relocate. A multinational consulting firm has had a rash of sexual harassment complaints and seeks to determine the extent of the problem. To address these and other business-related issues, organizations are increasingly turning to surveys. Surveys are popular in organizations because--when done properly--they can provide accurate information about major organizational challenges, especially as the technology of surveys rapidly advances. Taking these issues into consideration, How to Conduct Organizational Surveys offers a practical, step-by-step guide. Anyone trying to make the transition from theory to practice will benefit greatly from this how-to guide. How to Conduct Organizational Surveys is also written for researchers who need to fine-tune their surveying skills.

"Unlike many survey ‘how-to’ books, this book is clear, well-written, practical, and insightful. I highly recommend it to those interested in conducting organizational surveys or managing a consultant/ vendor that is supplying survey services to an organization."

TECHNO

This is one of the only practical guides available that is focused on organizational surveys instead of surveys in general.
