The demographic information presented in Table 16 shows that respondents were of a wide age range, with
the majority aged between 51 and 60 years. Indeed the vast majority of respondents were aged between 31 and
60, with just 11 (19.3%) respondents outside of this age range. Again with the length of employment demographic
it is clear that the majority of respondents had been working for the organisation for a long period of time, with
84.2% having been employed within Service 6 for greater than 5 years. It is also interesting to note that 15
respondents (26.3%) either did not want to disclose, or did not disclose, the length of employment in the
organisation, considering that just 7.1% of ‘Age’ and 5.3% of ‘Sex’ respondents did not disclose this information.
Lastly, with regard to gender there was a relatively even split between the number of male (n = 24, 42.1%) and
female (n = 30, 52.6%) respondents.
A series of chi square tests for independence were conducted on demographic data in order to examine the
population differences between Survey 1 and Survey 2. The relationship between the 'Age' category in the two
surveys was not significant, χ 2 (6, N=179) = 5.12, p = .530, as was that for gender (χ 2 (4, N=179) = 6.20, p = .
185. However, there was a significant difference in the length of employment category, χ 2 (7, N=179) = 37.69, p
= .001.
