Characteristics of nonrespondents among workers

Abstract

Notes that previous comparisons of respondents and nonrespondents in survey research have indicated that females and those with higher educational levels have higher response rates. A survey was conducted of 552 checkers working in 14 stores of a supermarket chain. Results support previous findings and also indicate that surveys of workers seem to be biased toward more stable, older, more effective employees.
