Abstract

The data examines the experiences of municipal, state, wellbeing services counties and church personnel on working conditions and well-being at work. The themes of the survey relate to work organisation, work community and working environment. The target group of the survey are personal customers insured under the Public Sector Pensions Act (JuEL), i.e. employees and contract workers of municipalities, government agencies and institutions funded from the state budget and employers of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland.

The questions have remained almost the same in the different years of the survey. In 2022, the survey included questions on workload, well-being at work, the functioning and atmosphere of the work community and the organisation of work. In addition, the survey asked about satisfaction with supervisory work, safety at work and whether they would recommend the workplace to friends. In 2022, two questions were added on the work community and two questions on the multi-location and time flexibility of the job.

Background variables included occupational status, gender, type of employment contract, sector of employment, age group and field of occupation.

Sampling Procedure

Probability: Stratified

A representative sample of the target group has been randomly selected from Keva's registers, based on age, gender and occupational data, from municipal, state and church personnel. The sample was established in April 2022. Due to the reform of the wellbeing services counties, the sample for the municipal sector differs from previous years in that two samples of personnel in the municipal sector were formed based on Keva's register data: 1. Municipalities: a representative sample of personnel continuing to work in municipalities based on age, gender and occupational data. 2. Wellbeing services counties: a representative sample of staff moving to welfare regions, based on age, gender and occupational data.
