NGOs Salary Survey 2008

Survey Medthodology


The following methodology was deployed in this survey.

Design of the Survey

With the input of the Task Group from HKCSS, the questionnaire and job descriptions for benchmarked jobs were developed. The objectives of the design are to:

  1. ensure adequate representation and faire interpretation of findings
  2. collect empirical data and views from participating agencies on their current practices in salary and benefits; and
  3. spot differences in remuneration practices due to the heterogeneity of agencies.

To facilitate the participating agencies to complete the questionnaire, an Explanatory Note with step-by-step instructions was developed. HKCSS representatives served as hotline support for agencies enquiries.


Data Collection and Response Rate

All Agency Members (351 agencies) of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service were invited to participate in this Survey. A total of 77 Agency Members returned the completed questionnaires to HKIHRM directly with a response rate of 22%.


Data Analysis and Report

Data were entered as electronic file for tabulation and analysis by HKIHRM in a professional and strict confidential manner. Necessary clarifications were made by HKIHRM to resolve potential data distortion and ensure completeness, accuracy, reasonableness and validity.?
