An Internal Communications Analysis of a U.S. Credit Reporting AgencyCarter, Styletta 12 January 2007 (has links)
Audits of organizational communication have been viewed as an efficient means for collecting data and diagnosing common communication problems (Meyer, 2002), and evaluating employee communication satisfaction has proven to be a vital component of the auditor’s overall goal of assessing communication effectiveness. While communication audits have been used for the past 50 years by practitioners and scholars alike to evaluate the effectiveness of both external and internal communications, this particular analysis will explore the internal communications of a business-to-business sales division within a major U.S. credit reporting agency. Using Goldhaber’s (2002) method for administering Web-based communication surveys and a combination of Downs & Hazen’s (1977) Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire and Gayeski’s (2000) Information Systems Analysis, this study will assess how the salesperson’s satisfaction of the company’s electronic sales communications relates to perceived productivity.

Impact of the mode of data collection on the quality of survey questions in social sciencesRevilla, Melanie Audrey 26 September 2012 (has links)
This dissertation studies the impact of the mode of data collection on the quality of
answers to survey questions, defined as the product of reliability and validity. Using
data from the Netherlands about different topics (media, social and political trust,
satisfaction, political orientation, left-right self-placement, attitudes toward
immigration), it shows that the quality is similar in a computed assisted face-to-face
survey using show cards (the European Social Survey, ESS) and a web survey based on
a probability sample (the LISS panel). This is true both at the level of single items and
composite scores. It suggests that standardised relationships across variables can be
compared across these two modes. On the contrary, telephone interviews lead to some
differences in quality. For complex concepts, measurement equivalence also holds,
meaning that means and unstandardised relationships can be compared across the faceto-
face and web surveys mentioned previously. / Esta tesis estudia el impacto que el método de recolección de datos en encuestas tiene
sobre la calidad de las respuestas, definida como el producto de la fiabilidad y la
validez. Utilizando datos de Holanda sobre temas diversos (utilización de los medios de
comunicación, confianza social y política, satisfacción, orientaciones políticas, autoubicación
en la escala izquierda-derecha, actitudes hacia la inmigración), se muestra que
la calidad es similar en una encuesta cara-a-cara asistida con ordenador y utilizando
tarjetas (la Encuesta Social Europea) y una encuesta online basada en una muestra
probabilística (el panel LISS). Esto se cumple tanto para los indicadores simples, como
para indicadores complejos. Los resultados sugieren que las relaciones estandardizadas
entre variables son comparables entre los dos métodos de recolección. Al contrario, las
entrevistas telefónicas producen diferencias de calidad. Para conceptos complejos, la
equivalencia de las mediciones también está garantizada: las medias y las relaciones no
estandarizadas son comparables en las entrevistas cara-a-cara y online.

Intranätets betydelse för organisationskultur och intern kommunikation : En fallstudie om anställdas upplevda användbarhet av intranätet som information- och kommunikationsverktygFenton, Dennis, Gardeblad, Jesper January 2021 (has links)
Anställdas upplevda användbarhet av intranät som informations- och kommunikationsverktyg En enkätstudie i samarbete med ICA Gruppen AB om hur intranätet Worknet används och upplevs ur ett medarbetarperspektiv. En organisation ställer höga krav på den interna kommunikationen. Den ska fungera väl, inspirerande och felfritt. En intern kommunikation som är effektiv har förmågan att ge de anställda en möjlighet att kommunicera med varandra. Den förmågan skapar en vi-anda. Detta gäller även om alla inte befinner sig på samma plats. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur intranätet upplevs på ICA Gruppen AB från medarbetarnas perspektiv. Vad kan förbättras och förändras? På vilket sätt använder man intranätet och kan intranätet stärka den organisationskultur som lever inom ICA Gruppen AB? Studien utfördes med ett enkätformulär. Vi valde att lägga 14 enkätfrågor på intranätet som anställda fick möjlighet att svara på. De allra viktigaste resultaten som kom fram i studien var att majoriteten var nöjda med intranätet. Dock vill respondenterna se en förbättrad sökfunktion, både grafiskt och tekniskt. Intranätets nuvarande utformning bidrog till en viss “vi-känsla” inom organisationen men de fanns synpunkter där bland annat mer lokala nyheter efterfrågades. Man ville bygga ut den interna sidan med mer riktade nyheter. Resultatet visar att intranätet stärker organisationskulturen.

Do Different Devices Perform Equally Well with Different Numbers of Scale Points and Response Formats? A test of measurement invariance and reliabilityMenold, Natalja, Toepoel, Vera 11 June 2024 (has links)
Research on mixed devices in web surveys is in its infancy. Using a randomized experiment, we investigated device effects (desktop PC, tablet and mobile phone) for six response formats and four different numbers of scale points. N=5,077 members of an online access panel participated in the experiment. An exact test of measurement invariance and Composite Reliability were investigated. The results provided full data comparability for devices and formats, with the exception of continuous Visual Analog Scale (VAS), but limited comparability for different numbers of scale points. There were device effects on reliability when looking at the interactions with formats and number of scale points. VAS, use of mobile phones and five point scales consistently gained lower reliability. We suggest technically less demanding implementations as well as a unified
design for mixed-device surveys.
