NGOs Salary Survey 2005

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 benchmark jobs were developed. The objectives of the design are:

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

To facilitate participants in completing 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

A total of 73 questionnaires were sent out to Agency Members of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service. Participating Agency Members returned completed questionnaire to HKIHRM directly. A total of 67 questionnaires were received and the response rate was 91.8%.

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.
