A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
Staff:
The 2011-2012 Staff Survey (prepared by the Staff Senate Quality of Life Committee) was offered to all 1,584 permanent SPA and EPA staff employees on record; 622 responded.
Faculty:
On January 29, [2013 a] survey was sent to 1408 faculty across the instructional ranks. The faculty were given two weeks to complete the survey, with several “reminder” notices sent out to those who had not yet responded. Of the 1,408 eligible faculty members at ASU who were contacted to participate in the survey, 675 faculty members completed the questionnaire for a response rate of 47.9%.
The survey was comprised of 12 sections: Demographic Data, Teaching Conditions, Research Conditions, Service Activity and Rewards, Attitudes toward the Chancellor, Attitudes toward the Provost, Attitudes towards the Deans, Attitudes toward the Department Chairs, Overall Morale, and three open-ended questions regarding morale.
