Abstract

In March 1993, all 3, 666 employees of the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) were invited to participate in a survey related to morale and work practices. Survey questionnaires were sent to employees / homes and participation in the study was voluntary. This survey, in part, replicates assessments made by random, stratified samples of DOT employees in 1984 and 1988. Thus it is possible to evaluate some changes in morale and work practices at three points in time. The present survey was designed to allow for generalizations about all DOT employees and various subgroups of employees (i.e., majority and minority employees, males and females, employees less than 40 years of age and those 40 years of age or older, and work area location). Altogether, 2249 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a much higher-than-average response rate 61.3%.
