The ARI Survey of Employers: Technical Manual/Codebook 1990

Abstract : This is one of two reports produced to document the 1990 U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Survey of Employers. The Survey of Employers was designed to obtain civilian employers' perceptions of the availability and importance of the skills and abilities that can be acquired by all first-term enlisted soldiers. These data are being used to develop a model of the influence employers' attitudes and practices may have on Army enlistments. Survey questionnaires were mailed to a stratified random sample of 2,145 presidents and chief executive officers of American businesses. This volume documents the methods used for the employer survey project. Technical appendixes include a data codebook, survey instrument, and administrative documents.
