Example writeup:

The main purpose of this analysis is to identify the work-related factors that influence the overall wellbeing of public sector employees. The unit of analysis for this study is individual employees. The data for this analysis is based on a survey of employees of Utah State, which was conducted in June of 2011. A list of all Utah State employee e-mail addresses was obtained from the office of human resources and used as the sampling frame for this project. We sent survey requests to 500 randomly selected employees from this list. The online survey consisted of 23 questions and took approximately 7 minutes to complete. Questions on the survey include demographic variables, work satisfaction variables, overall happiness measures, job descriptors, and a variety of information about the quality of conditions in the workplace generally. Of the 500 employees who received requests, 250 responded with complete surveys yielding a response rate of 50%.

The work satisfaction variables were measured on a 7-point Likert scale from "strongly dissatisfied" (coded 1) to "strongly satisfied" (coded 7). There are three satisfaction questions, and each of the questions were phrased in the following manner: "On a scale of 1 (strongly dissatisfied) to 7 (strongly satisfied), how satisfied are you with [work element]?" The work elements considered are pay, benefits, work schedule, work environment, and opportunities for professional growth.
