Data collection and participants Sample Clauses

Data collection and participants. Data were gathered via questionnaires. These were handed out to employees and supervisors of the Dutch railroad company from the material planning departments at two different geographical locations. The planning departments studied are engaged in what is called material planning; to be more precise, these departments plan the material used for transportation (trains). The departments are located at and preoccupied with the material planning in different geographical areas. In the first department the response rate was 63.2%; whereas in the second department response was 100%. In department 1 (N=19) 89.5% the employees are male. The mean number of months people have worked with the Dutch railroad company is 243 (20.25 yrs). This is quite high, and can be attributed to the unique character of this company (until very recently state-owned and now when operating independently there is hardly any competition). Respondents’ tenure with the specific job ranges from 6 months to 8 years, with an average of almost 3 years. On average most people work full time. In department 2 (N=17) 82.4% of the employees is male. The tenure with the organization ranges between 6 months to 30 years, with an average of well over 3 years. Job tenure is on average 3.5 years. All people worked full time. Two different kinds of data were collected: attribute and relational data (Xxxxx, 2000). Attribute data included items about the attitudes, opinions and behaviors of individuals. This type of data is collected in our survey using Likert-type questions. Relational data are the contacts, relationships, or ties that relate one individual to another. Relational data are gathered using name-roster type questions, which is also described in the measurement section. We decided to measure our independent variables in both ways –mainly to prevent common method bias- with some of our dependent variables (e.g., satisfaction).

Data collection and participants. The data are from a study by Xxxxxxx (2001) and while not designed specifically for this research, the data provide adequate, and in some cases excellent, operationalizations to test the theory presented in this paper. The usage of data that were constructed with other research questions in mind than the current ones suggests that the tests of the hypotheses are conservative tests of the theory (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 1984). Fifty-one teams in eleven Dutch companies participated in this study. Of the 264 team members in total, 252 responded resulting in a response rate of 95.5 percent. Data were gathered between 1998 and 1999 with use of a questionnaire developed at the University of Groningen. The teams in this dataset are research and development (R&D) teams. R&D teams are “groups that conduct innovation activities (e.g., new product development), have at least three members, are social systems with boundaries so that members recognize themselves as a group and are recognized by others as one, have one or more common tasks, and operate within one organization” (Xxxxxxx, 2001: p.53).
