Dataset: Work Orientations (ISSP 1997) - Czech Republic

Abstract

The ISSP is a continuing annual programme of cross-national collaboration on surveys covering topics important for social science research. It brings together pre-existing social science projects and coordinates research goals, thereby adding a cross-national, cross-cultural perspective to the individual national studies. In the Czech Republic it was organised in the frame of the Social Trends research project, which was sponsored by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic. The ISSP module covered following topics: 1: General attitudes to work and leisure: work vs. Leisure, work ethic, work and personality, effects of unemployment. 2. Work organisation: self-employment, private vs. State sector, getting ahead. 3. Collective interests: trade unions. 4. Social inequality. Beside the module on Work Orientations II, the questionnaire also included questions about changes in respondents’ work after 1989, factors resulting into income inequality, specific questions about getting ahead, and demographic characteristics of the respondent. Demographic characteristics are in Czech-specific form.

Sampling Procedure

Three-stage random stratified sample. The basic sample unit was the household. Sampling Frame: VAKUS Database which includes every household paying for electricity, gas, TV or radio (approx. 5.5 mil. households). The database is structured by regions (see the variable CZ_REG). Sampling Process: First stage: Selection of the 100 largest settlements (cities and towns) in the Czech Republic. For every city/town on the list a random sampling of addresses was made to select a number of people corresponding the share of the city/town population in the entire population of the Czech Republic. Second stage: Random selection of addresses from other settlements up to the total size of the sample. Third stage: a) Preparation of the list of all adult members (older than 18) in every contacted household. b) Selection of the respondent according the date of birth (the person with the closest birthday). If the selected respondent was not present, the interviewer had to make two other attempts to contact him/her. The replacement by the person with the second closest birthday was allowed only in case of a long term absence (one month and more) of the respondent first selected.

Mode of Data Collection

Standardized face-to-face interview. Trained interviewers of STEM. Before the interviewer's visit, all respondents (or their households) were notified by a letter asking for their cooperation.
