Work Orientations, Norwegian part of ISSP, 2015

This survey is carried out on the basis of the research collaboration in "The International Social Survey Programme" (ISSP). ISSP is an international organisation that prepares and coordinates annual surveys in its member countries, mainly within the fields of political science and sociology. The topic of the surveys varies, but are repeated at intervals of a few years. In this way, changes in behavioral patterns and attitudes over time as well as differences between countries and cultures, are possible to be detected and measured. NSD – Norwegian Centre for Research Data became a member of ISSP in 1989 and have since been responsible for carrying out the surveys in Norway. In connection with the survey, researchers are invited to add supplementary questions to the Norwegian respondents. In 2015 the objective was to collect data on working conditions and experiences. NSD and ISSP conducted similar surveys in 1989, 1997 and 2005.
