Sisällön kuvaus

The annual survey studied employee opinion on the quality of working life in Finland. Main themes included organisation of work, development opportunities and flexibility, wages, workplace bullying, capacity to work, and changes in working life. Questions in the barometer have mainly remained the same each year. For the 2014 collection round, new questions were added about ideas on the development of the workplace, flexible working time, method of agreeing on the wage and social media. Questions about management and leadership were not included this time.

First, the respondents were asked how many years they had worked for the employer they were working for at the time, whether they were in a management position, and how many persons worked at the workplace. Changes in the number of staff, distribution of work and tasks, and implementation of new working methods and systems over the past 12 months were charted. Psychosocial working environment was charted with questions about openness, encouragement and equality in the workplace, job stability, and opportunities for employees to develop and apply new ideas. Further questions covered measures taken to improve health of employees, safety of work environment, and skills of employees. Discrimination at work based on ethnic group, age, gender and type of job contract was explored. Incidents of bullying, harassment and violence at work were surveyed.

Next set of questions investigated the respondents' membership in a trade union or professional association, flexible working time arrangements at the workplace, pay and bonus systems, and satisfaction with pay level. The respondents' participation in job-related training and development of the workplace was investigated. Use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs, in the performance of work tasks was charted.

Autonomy at work was charted by asking about influence over own work tasks and working pace, over the distribution of work in the workplace, and about working to a tight schedule. The respondents were asked about working outside the main workplace (at home, client's office, in the field) in the past 12 months, and work-related calls, emails and messages they had had to attend to outside their official working hours.

One set of questions investigated the employees' perceived workload, capacity to work, estimate of own mental and physical capacity to work, sickness absences, long-term illnesses and disabilities, and hindrance caused by illness/disability at work. The respondents were asked how likely they thought it was that they would be dismissed or laid off, or that their tasks would be changed over the next year. Views were probed on the likelihood of getting an equal job if they became unemployed, on the general employment situation in Finland, possible changes in working life in general, and the employer's financial situation. Finally, the respondent's emotional state was investigated with a few questions.

Background variables from the Labour Force Survey 2014 were utilised in the Finnish Working Life Barometer. Background variables included, among others, the respondent's year of birth, age, gender, region, type of municipality, education, economic activity, status in employment, industry of employment, occupational group, employer type, type of contract, weekly working hours, and additional jobs.

Otantamenetelmä

Probability: Stratified

Telephone interviews were conducted as an additional study during Statistics Finland's Labour Force Survey. The sample for the Working Life Barometer was drawn from the stratified random sample used in the Labour Force Survey which, in turn, had been drawn from the population register of Statistics Finland. From the Labour Force Survey sample, Finnish-speaking employees aged 18-64 who had responded being employed for at least 10 hours a week were selected for the Working Life Barometer. The Labour Force Survey is a panel study where one person is interviewed five times. The sample of a single month of data collection consists of five rotation groups that have been included in the study at different times. The sample for the Finnish Working Life Barometer 2014 was drawn from the second and third groups with the limitations set by the population under study. Using these same limitations, research subjects were further drawn from the fourth group until the sample size of 2,200 persons was reached. The data collection period for the 2014 survey was longer than that of the previous surveys. The number of respondents was 1,722 persons.
