Web Survey Bibliography
Language: spanish
In a 2x2x2x2 factorial (quasi-)experimental design it was investigated whether administration mode (Internet versus paper-andpencil), anonymity, voluntariness, and age would influence answering behavior in a newly designed short-format employee survey. Employees in one complete section (N=655) of a large Swiss company were randomly assigned to conditions and invited to participate in the survey. Overall, 318 employees responded, with lower return rates for anonymous and for voluntary conditions: anonymous & voluntary 31% return vs. less anonymous & less voluntary 58% return, with other conditions in-between. There was also a tendency for differences in dropout. Voluntariness had a significant effect on response times, a dependent measure that could be applied in the Internet condition only.
Age and anonymity were shown to have a significant influence on the expression of job satisfaction; voluntariness and administration mode showed tendencies to moderate these influences. Effects of anonymity were shown to be stronger for participants who chose to reveal even less information about themselves by leaving questions with identifying content unanswered. Results are in line with the strategic aspect of the Social Identity model of Deindividuation Effects (SIDE). Methods and applications used in developing and administering the employee survey and in analyzing the data will be presented.
En este estudio, se ha investigado a través de un diseño factorial cuasi-experimental (factorial 2x2x2x2) la influencia de los factores “forma de administración del cuestionario” (internet vs papel), “anonimato”, “voluntariedad” y “edad” en las conductas de respuesta de un cuestionario de corta duración a empleados de una empresa. La muestra de empleados (N=655) invitados a participar fue seleccionada aleatoriamente de un departamento de una corporación de gran tamaño en Suiza. En total, se recogieron 318 cuestionarios completados y se detectó que aquellos con condiciones más anónimas y de carácter más voluntario obtuvieron un 31% de tasa de respuesta frente a un 58% en aquellos menos anónimos y voluntarios. Asimismo se observaron influencias de estas variables en la tasa de abandono de los cuestionarios. El grado de voluntariedad del cuestionario tuvo un efecto significativo en los tiempos de respuesta, siendo esta última una medida independiente que sólo se pudo obtener en el caso de aquellos que fueron rellenados por internet. La edad y el anonimato también influyeron de forma significativa en la respuesta sobre satisfacción laboral; por otro lado las variables voluntariedad y modo de administración del cuestionario no mostraban tanta influencia en este tipo de preguntas. Los efectos del anonimato eran mayores para aquellos participantes que eligieron dar menos información personal dejando algunas respuestas con datos de identificación sin responder. Los resultados concuerdan con el aspecto estratégico del modelo de Identidad Social de los efectos de Desindividualización (SIDE). A continuación se muestran los métodos y aplicaciones utilizadas para desarrollar y administrar la encuesta a los empleados y las formas de análisis de los datos obtenidos.
