How were the survey questions created?
In 2002, SHRM developed an employee job satisfaction survey. To develop the survey approach and items, an extensive review of the academic research literature from the fields of Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Business Management was undertaken by SHRM researchers. Based on this literature review, SHRM researchers created a pool of items which were then reviewed by two separate panels of experts. The current job satisfaction survey is comprised of these final items, as well as additional items which have been added as advances in theory have necessitated.
In 2011, the survey was expanded to include employee job engagement. As with the job satisfaction survey, these engagement items were based on an extensive review of the academic research literature. The final items were developed by a team of SHRM researchers currently led by Alexander Alonso, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP.
