Quality of working life: comparing the perceptions of professionals and clerical sales and service workers

Abstract

Results of Australian Quality of Working Life Survey. The Australian Quality of Working Life Survey is a nationwide household survey conducted in November 2002, which reflects the opinions of 1,032 Australian employees aged 15 and over. A random stratified sampling technique was used to select respondents, which ensured that the sample reflected the national workforce in terms of state of residence. The results were weighted to take account of differential response rates among sub-groups and bring them closer into line with the population proportions in the 1996 Census.
