This project seeks to improve our methodological understanding of how to do generic representative organizational surveys. The few general population private sector organizational surveys which have been done and report response rates tend to have response (or cooperation) rates significantly lower than the seventy to seventy-five percent which is normal for general population surveys of individuals. It is likely that some of the high level of non-response in organizational surveys represents the application of survey techniques developed for populations of individuals to organizations. The application of survey methods to organizations must come to grips with the differences between organizations and individuals. The project has two objectives. The first is to evaluate the representativeness of a final sample of establishments relative to the population in terms of the sources of response bias. These sources include omissions from the sampling frame and non-response to the administered survey or to particular items on the survey. The second goal is to develop a theory of organizational survey non-response. Once a sampling frame has been constructed, high response rates are essential in order to approximate the characteristics of a random sample and to insure population representativeness. It is anticipated that organizational characteristics associated with survey and item non-response will be identifiable. Since, almost nothing is now known about non- response in general organizational samples the probabilities of making a significant contribution to survey methodology and organizational research appear to be high.

该项目旨在提高我们对如何进行一般代表性组织调查的方法学理解。已完成的少数一般人口私营部门组织调查和报告的回复率往往有回复率（或合作）明显低于70%至75%，这是个人一般人口调查的正常水平。组织调查中一些高水平的无反应很可能代表了为个人群体开发的调查技术在组织中的应用。将调查方法应用于组织时，必须认真对待组织和个人之间的差异。该项目有两个目标。首先是根据反应偏差的来源来评估最终样本相对于总体的代表性。这些来源包括抽样框架的遗漏和对管理的调查或调查中的特定项目没有反应。第二个目标是发展组织调查无反应理论。一旦建立了抽样框架，为了接近随机样本的特征并确保总体代表性，高响应率是必不可少的。预计与调查和项目无反应相关的组织特征将被识别。由于现在对一般组织样本中的非反应几乎一无所知，因此对调查方法和组织研究作出重大贡献的可能性似乎很高。
