| Major Survey Items |
Most of the questionnaires are general-for both females and males-with the exception of some that are strictly for females and those that question the male respondents ("R" hereafter) about their spouse. (1) Attributes: Sex, age, education, marital status, and children. (2) Occupation: Industry and size of the employer, annual compensation, occupation, if the company applies a career-track employment management policy, current position, how R obtained a job at the current firm, tenure, and the number of job transfers. (3) Work place and career: Abilities required in the current job; opinion about job assignment, job procedure, and workplace; and satisfaction with current workplace. If current workplace is beneficial for developing R's career: Abilities and skills that R has/R would like to obtain, ideas on how to develop the desired career, career that R would like to pursue in the future, attitude toward work, priority between life and work, problems and stress in R's working life, and problems and stress in R's non-working life. (4) Job switch: Re-employment (questions only for mid-career employment), reason for quitting from previous employer, reason for working with the current employer, evaluation for re-employment, and matters that R highly values. (5) Balancing work and family life: Desired working style and actual working style, considering marriage; childbirth; nurturing (male employees answered this with regard to their spouse) for females with children; status of availing of child care leave; reasons for working; and problems regarding work during the child care period. For females who resigned from their jobs owing to marriage/childbirth and resumed work later: Working condition of re-employment, age of youngest child, and period between turnover and resuming of work. |
