National Organizations Survey (NOS), 1991 (ICPSR 6240)
Principal Investigator(s): Kalleberg, Arne L., University of North Carolina; Knoke, David, University of Minnesota; Marsden, Peter V., Harvard University; Spaeth, Joe L., University of Illinois
Summary:
This study is a representative sample of United States work organizations, with data from informants about human resources policies and practices. Employed respondents in the 1991 General Social Survey gave identification and location information about their employers and the employers of working spouses. Each employee interviewed in person was matched to his or her employer, and an informant from the work establishment (either the personnel director or the chief executive officer) was interviewed by telephone or by mail questionnaire. Industry data from published government sources were merged with these data. Topics covered include employer staffing procedures, interval job ladders, promotion chains, job training programs, employee benefits and incentives, and structural characteristics of organizations.
