Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the response rate, speed and quality of electronic mail surveys against mail surveys. A number of factors influenced responses, including the presence of incentives, questionnaire length and sensitivity of the topic surveyed. Results revealed no significant differences in responses between e-mail and mail respondents. Both types of surveys generated the same data even though mail surveys supported a higher response rate while e-mail surveys accommodated faster response rates.
