UCI 2004 Employee Opinion Survey

UCI Human Resources utilized the Wonderlic Consulting firm to conduct an Employee Opinion Survey in the Fall of 2004. The results campus wide were quite positive, higher in most areas than the normative data Wonderlic has compiled from 20,000 responses from a variety of white collar type organizations as well as academic institutions.

There were ten survey categories:

The areas of Benefits, Commitment, Coworkers, Job Attitudes, Overall Satisfaction, and Work and Family Balance all had favorability ratings of at least 80%. Areas rated campuswide between 50% and 80% were Career Opportunities, Communication, and Supervision. The only area rated below 50% was Workload. The survey was distributed to 4165 staff employees with a 31% response rate. (Academic employees, including librarians, were not included in the survey.) Statistically there is 99% confidence that the overall results are within + or – 3% of the true attitudes and opinions of all employees.

Specific results can be viewed from the links below.
