Questionnaire Design and TestingTian XiuhuaService Survey Center of NBSAugust, 2008Beijing, ChinaAbstract:Questionnaire design aims to make respondents have a clear and comprehensive statement of questions and answer them or provide data, and also to make information obtained facilitate the data processing. Questionnaire design is an important step of survey and plays a central role in data collection process. It has a major impact on data quality. Though there are some principles in design theory, there is still a big challenge for well-designed questionnaire of enterprise survey in China. The NBS has implemented and finished the questionnaire design for enterprise and self-employed household in service industry on the basis of international corporation project, and won international specialists’ consent. This paper summarizes some principles and methods firstly, then introduces the enterprise survey questionnaire design combining the actual state of China. Enterprise and self-employed household questionnaire design are separated by different Methods of Data Collection. This paper expounds how to deal with some problems in questionnaire design process, including following aspects: code design, how to reflect the change of sample enterprises though enterprise questionnaire, and the improvement of self-employed household questionnaire from indicator to question.This paper also introduces the method and process of questionnaire testing in practice, explains the importance of choosing proper respondents and the demand of organizer’s ability. Finally, the questionnaires are amended according to the test result and suggestion from relevant experts.Keywords: questionnaire design testQuestionnaire (or survey form, statistics form) is composed of a series of questions which are specially designed to get information about some subject from respondents. Questionnaire plays an important role in the process of data collection, so the design of it can affect the data quality and the authority of statistics organization.1. Principles and methods of design1.1 PrinciplesThere was a violent argument about the questionnaire design theory. In 1980, British scholar (Marketing Research) Labaw wrote an " Advanced Questionnaire Design" ,in this book, she argued that the greatest weakness of questionnaire design was lack of theory and proposed her own systematic theory, set off a crazy discussion on this theme. After she wrote an article for revision, she constructed a framework thatincorporated her theoretical principles and the subsequent work of Jenkins and Dillman; Sudman, Bradburn and Schwarz; Harkness; Fowler; Belson; and others. This framework does not constitute a theory of questionnaire design, but provides a conceptual model of the questionnaire design process, including questionnaire design principles, these principles are:1.1.1 Questionnaire must fit the methods of data collection.. There are differences in telephone interview, Face-to-face interview, mailed questionnaire, and online survey, such as the telephone survey questionnaire will not be able to design graphics, mailed questionnaire survey will be considerate that, the respondents can not ask for “What is the exact meaning of this?” when they don’t understand the question，and so on.1.1.2 The questionnaire structure must be regular and reasonable. The general structure of the questionnaire is composed of title, the questions and themes, such several parts. First, the format must be normative; second, interval between various parts must be appropriate, the layout must be clear and easy to fill.1.1.3 Questionnaire should be as short and simple as possible. No matter what kind of survey approach, most people are still willing to complete some short questionnaires, and the questions which are unrelated to the problem must not be included.1.1.4 The questions generally should be ordered from easy to difficult. Start with a brief introduction, so the respondents will understand the purpose and know how to complete.1.1.5 The principle of choosing closed or open-ended questions. Generally, if we want the subjective information of respondents or when the scope of the question couldn’t be well defined, the open-ended questions will be suitable; if the question is able to clearly described and the options are easy to define, then select the closed questions.1.2 Methodology1.2.1 The basic methods. There are three kinds of questionnaires, the qualitative indicators questionnaire, quantitative indicators questionnaire and the combinative indicators questionnaire. For either type of questionnaire, the design process should be guided by the principles of the design. Such as the qualitative indicators questionnaire, use the closed or open-ended questions according to the survey theme. Open-ended question doesn’t provided options to the respondents. The closed questions list a number of possible answers for respondents to choose, there are various kinds of closed questions, the most common questions are the two choices question, a number of options question and multiple-choice question, sorting question and grade assess question, and so on. In practice, closed question is used widely. Of course, whether the words of the questions are simple, applicable and concrete should be considered carefully. Finally should also consider the questionnaire format, including the questions sequence, location of notes and layout design. For the quantitative indicators questionnaire design, we must first consider the scientificnature of the indicators, and then also have to consider their feasibility, if the indicator is very scientific, but in practice can not collect data, it is not valuable. Third, the design should facilitate filling in the form. Fourth, the layout should be simple and clear. The combination questionnaire design, consider all the above factors.1.2.2 Questionnaire design steps. The steps are: first, make the objective of the survey clear, learn the needs of data users; second, define the survey content, list the problem need to be solved or indicators need to be collected data, write the filling in instruction and indicators explanation; third, ask for suggestions from users and external consulting experts, discuss the amendment of the questionnaire; forth, test the questionnaire in small-scale; fifth, revise the questionnaire according to test results.2. Questionnaire design2.1 Design for enterpriseAn enterprise is an economic organization engaged in production and operation for profits. An enterprise legal person means an enterprise which has registered with various administrative departments for industry and commerce, has obtained the Business License of Enterprise Legal Person and is qualified as a legal person in accordance with the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China For Controlling th e Registration of Enterprises as Legal Person, and the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of Registration of Companies, etc. Enterprise survey questionnaire is designed for the enterprise legal person.There are nine parts for the enterprise questionnaire. The first part is composed of some basic attributes indicators, including enterprise name, code of enterprise legal person, legal representative person, contact information, time to start business, principal operating activities, type of controlled holding, enterprise’s duration of operation during the reporting period, reasons for not in full operation during the reporting period and so on. The second part is the major economic indicators, including some indicators from the balance sheet, profit and distribution, and other subjects of accounting and human resources indicators, mainly to meet the needs of national accounts, taking into account the needs of other users. The third part is the change of enterprise, including whether the enterprise is consolidated, whether the enterprise is merged, whether the legal person code of the enterprise changed, whether the name of the enterprise changed. The forth part is the data of the business establishments affiliated with the enterprise, including two questions, one is whether the enterprise has business establishments under the categories of different industries or operating in different regions; the other is what the number of the establishments is. The fifth part is the data of the member enterprises of the corporate administrative institution, list two questions, one is whether the enterprise is a administrative institution, the other is what the number of member enterprises is. The sixth part is the recommendations, let respondents evaluate the following aspects: from format, indicators sequence, whether the data is easy to captured, whether theindicator explanation is clear, attitude of the interviewers and the training work of the statistic organization and so on, improve the survey according to these evaluation. The seventh part is the information of filling person, including the time used to fill in this form and the contact information. The eighth part is the detailed data of the establishments, this part is the expansion of part four. If the enterprise contains establishments (answered in part four), then fill this part with the activity, industrial code, the number of employees hired at the end of the period, income of each establishment and so on. The ninth part is the detailed information of the member enterprises of corporate administrative institution, is the expansion of part five. If the enterprise is the administrative institution ( answered in part five), then fill in this part with the activity, industrial code, income and so on of each member enterprise.2.2 Design for self-employed householdSelf-employed household is a business unit except the farmer which is based on the self-employed work, all the means of production belong to the work self, the outcome is personal possession.Self-employed usually don’t have the basis of accounting, no accounts to be investigated, plus the uneven cultural level of the individual owners, so we should choose the interview method, supplemented by actual observations, to ensure reliable data sources. The questionnaire should be designed in this premise.We designed the questionnaire similar to the enterprise at the first, but more simple in the content. The first part is the basic data of self-employed, including the name of the owner, contact telephone, principal operating activities and so on. Second part is the major economic indicators, including the number of the employee, business floor space, fixed assets, operating expenses and its components, operating income and so on. The objective is to be able to calculate the added value to meet the basic needs of accounting. Part three and part four are same as the enterprise, recommendations and information of the people filling form.After investigation, we changed the major economic indicator into operating questions, designed 13 issues in the second part, through the processing of these issues, we can get the needed indicators.2.3 The main difference between the designed questionnaire and the existing survey questionnaire2.3.1 Designed questionnaire adds the National Bureau of Statistics logo on the upper left corner, to enable enterprises clearly know this is a national survey, and should actively cooperate with it.2.3.2 Designed questionnaire adds the part of recommendations, to learn the evaluation about the questionnaire and the training work of the statistical system from the respondents, provide the basis for improvement.2.3.3 Designed questionnaire adds the question of “Time used to fill in the form”, to learn the burden of enterprises and the difficulty of the interviewers.2.3.4 Designed questionnaire adds the change information of enterprise, it can provide help for BR maintenance and data evaluation.2.3.5 Designed questionnaire adds the list table of business establishments affiliated with the enterprise, to try to let the enterprise headquarters fill the establishments table.2.3.6 Designed questionnaire adds the list table of the member enterprises of the corporate administrative institution, to accumulate experience and provide the basis for the accounting.3. Disposal of difficulty issues in questionnaire design3.1 Questionnaire code designThe code can facilitate the computer processing, make the questionnaire identification and management be easy, the code may be meaningless, and also can has a certain sense. With the China's actual situation analysis, taking into account the characteristics of China's administrative divisions, that each of the cities, counties have administrative division code, the city code contains two figures, so we decide that the enterprise questionnaire code has five figures, the former two is the city code, because there will not be more than 99 cities in a province; the last three figures will be from 001 to 999, it is the sequence number of the enterprise in each city, the number of the local enterprise samples will not be more than 999 in a city. So it is easy and convenient for whether the Survey Office in province or the Survey Office in city to code the questionnaire.The questionnaire code of the self-employed household contains 15 figures, the former 12 ones is the village administrative code, and the last 3 figures is the sequence number of the self-employed household in each village. Generally, each village contains not more than 999 self-employed households. This code is not only easy to use, but also accords with the habit of statisticians, because the administrative zoning code is frequently used in the statistics.3.2 Enterprise questionnaire how to reflect the change of samplesBecause of the establishment time of BR and the time of the survey is not synchronized, some sample enterprises changed when they were visited, such as merger and separation, and so on. If we can learn the change information, it can be useful for the data estimation and BR maintenance. For instance, we design some questions, such as whether the enterprise is merged, if merged, should fill the merge time, the name of enterprise before merging, the Legal Person Code, the name and Legal Person Code of the enterprise be merged. The questions about separation information can be designed similar to the merge.But we should not only consider how to set questions or indicators for collectinginformation, but also should consider how to get better results, we must concerned about the psychological reflection of the respondents when they receive the questionnaire, they may be sick of the complex indicators or too much questions, this will affect the quality of data, also be said to be unsuccessful design of the questionnaire.In addition, because the different educational level of filling person and many enterprises do not have full-time statisticians, so the accountant often works on the statistics as a sideline. So they need to refer to information or consult relevant personnel when they are asked to fill the change information in the form, especially the separation information of enterprise, the separate enterprise name and the legal person code is necessary, but the separate enterprise may not be local one, so they cannot get the information of the separate enterprise. Even if the accountant can fill the form, it will cost great deal of energy and time, moreover, the accounting workload is already big enough.It is difficult to let enterprise to do so much work just for this information, and this may affect the result of the survey. This is a conclusion from a large number of investigations. So we keep searching for better means which can learn the basic information and does not increase the workload, and also be easy to achieve. That is, let the enterprise only answer the optional question without other information, if need to know the detailed change information, the Survey Office of NBS in the prefecture or county level can contact the enterprise to check according to the simple information provide by the questions.3.3 The improvement from indicators to questions on self-employed household questionnaireWe choose the interview way to visit the self-employed ones, because one is they do not have accounts, and the other is they do not want to reveal their rich, and the third is they do not understand the indicators we need. Therefore, even the interviewer visit, also need to ask carefully and adopt some survey skills. Through investigation, we find that the best interview way is colloquium, talk about their current operations and difficulties firstly, and then ask about the number of employees, and ask their equipment and housing expenditure, finally, ask the most sensitive indicators of income. The interviewer should judge whether the income conforms to the actual target according to the expenditures, if it can not meet the actual information, check it on-site.If the questionnaire adopts the form of indicators, interviewers first need to record the relevant data at the colloquium, then calculate according to these data to get the needed indicators. If the questionnaire designed to be composed of the interview records, it will facilitate the interviewers, and reduce the workload, and also avoid the calculation error. For this reason the indicators on this questionnaire will be replaced by the questions.4. Testing of the questionnaire4.1 Content and used methods of the testingWe want to test the following aspects: the questionnaire for both enterprise and self-employed household, filling instruction and indicator explanation, interviewer manual, letters about explanting the survey targets, expecting the respondents’cooperation, the survey organization and implementation.We tested 18 enterprises and 25 self-employed households from 4 neighbourhood committees and 1 village committees in Shenyang of Liaoning province, 23 enterprises and 25 self-employed households from 4 neighbourhood committees and 1 village committees in Linyi of Shandong province, respectively. All the enterprises in Shenyang filled the form by accountants, 15 enterprises in Linyi filled the form by the accountants or the statisticians, other 8 ones were visited by the interviewer. All the self-employed households were visited by interviewers who come form the sub-district office or the neighbourhood committees.First, the Survey Office in Shenyang and Linyi selected the enterprises and villages need to be tested, hired the interviewers, and contacted the samples beforehand; second, the Survey Office of Shandong and Liaoning provinces distributed the document of lunching the test, and printed questionnaires, relevant letters and interviewer manual and so on, and sent these materials to the relevant units; third, the Survey Office in Shenyang and Linyi decided that the test would be held in June and August, before the test, they trained the participants together, the participants contains filling form person from enterprises, interviewers and the relevant personnel from county level survey office, provincial survey office and the National Bureau of Statistics. The delegation of Statistics Canada took part in the entire process of the test in Shenyang. During the training time, explained the enterprise questionnaire and the fill instruction to the staff of enterprises, introduced the self-employed household questionnaire and interviewer manual to the interviewers, the interviewer manual included the instruction about the definition of indicators, checking methods, where need to correct data, how to get the cooperation of the respondents. Each kind of the questionnaires cost two hours of training time.The fourth step, after training, the staff from enterprises was given one day and half time to go back their enterprise to fill the questionnaire, the interviewers were asked to visit 5 self-employed units, some interviewers in Linyi completed part interview for some enterprises. If the staff from enterprises and interviewers met difficulties on the test spot, they can contact the Survey Office of Shenyang and Linyi for help. Finally, convened the colloquia, listen to the evaluation and improvement suggestion on the questionnaire, training work, interviewer manual and used methods from the participants.The Statistics Canada delegation thought the participants were well prepared and had a serious attitude in particular. And organization for the meeting was very successful, lively, high efficiency. The evaluation of the test is:(1) The test of questionnaire was very successful, it had tested the content of the questionnaire, the relevant materials and survey methods which needed to be improved;(2) We can benefit from the questionnaire test on two main aspects: one is the formatof the questionnaire, the other is the content of the manual, particularly for suggestions of manual content improvement, it is necessary to give a more clear definition of indicators, should give the examples of processing and presentation in the instruction.4.2 Organization of the testingSuccessful test survey activities are inextricably linked to the well-planned arrangement, meticulous organization and the high level participants.(1) Well-planned arrangement. The National Bureau of Statistics is responsible for designing the questionnaire, preparing all related materials, and proposing the specific requirement at the same time. The Survey Office in Shandong and Liaoning is responsible for the arrangement and informing the selected cities by document, the city Survey Office is responsible for selecting the sample enterprises and villages, and contacts them in advance, explain the survey target and the work to be done to them, and ask for their cooperation.(2) Meticulous organization. The participants contains relevant people from the National Bureau of Statistics, Survey Office of NBS in provincial , city and county level, Sub-district Office, Village Committee or Neighbourhood Committee and sample enterprises, also includes the Statistics Canada delegation in Shenyang. We should arrange the duty of every level staff well. The staff filling form is mostly accountant in Shenyang, but in Linyi, it also contains some statisticians from enterprises and some interviewers, this is determined by the actual situation. The hired interviewers for self-employed household are from Village Committee or Neighbourhood Committee, a good organization of them is the key to the test.(3) High level participants. The quality of the participants also can affect the test result, especially the designer and the people filling form from enterprises and the interviewers. The designer not only should be good at the design knowledge, but also understand the accounting methods and accounting systems well, particularly the "new enterprise accounting standards", implemented since January 1, 2007 within the listed company framework, they should know the difference between the old and new versions, they also are required to learn the characteristics of industry and the actual situation. The staff from enterprises and the interviewers not only should have a serious attitude, but also have certain knowledge, ability level and work experience. Linyi involved 31 enterprise staff and interviewers, of which 90 percent graduated from secondary school or higher, 74 percent had statistics work experience.5. Improve of the questionnaireAll the above questionnaires are completed in strict accordance with the design steps, tested in small-scale, and also test the relevant survey materials and organizational processes. Due to the careful design, a lot of investigation and the application of some experience, the questionnaires and materials were approbated by the test participants, but still need to be improved and perfected.We revised the following parts according to the record of the forum took place in Shenyang and Linyi:(1) Delete the inappropriate or unrelated indicators and questions.(2) Determine the explanation for some indicators and the filling instruction.(3) Improve the interviewer manual, give detailed examples for reference.(4) Prepare survey certificate and relevant stuff for interviewers.The revised questionnaires were used in partial provinces.Questionnaire design is an art, the test is the means to improve questionnaire. To design high-quality questionnaire, first, pay more attention to the design; second, we should seriously listen to and study the needs of users and research the feasibility and effectiveness; third, we must take appropriate forms of test organization, request that there must be some experts in the field of survey and accounting among the participants in the test; fourth, choose appropriate respondents; fifth, we must seriously study the rationality and universality of the test results.References1.
