Public Sector Commission WA Employee Perception Survey 2014

In Western Australia, the Public Sector Commission's purpose is to bring leadership and expertise to the public sector to enhance integrity, effectiveness and efficiency. The Commission’s vision is of a high performing public sector serving the needs of the State now and into the future.\r\n\r\nIn accordance with section 22D of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, the Public Sector Commissioner reports annually to Parliament on the state of public sector administration and management, and on the extent of compliance with public sector standards and ethical codes. One of the primary information sources used for the State of the WA public sector report 2014 - Measuring up is the employee perception survey (EPS). \r\n\r\nThe EPS captures employee views about factors affecting their workplace, such as leadership, communication, work/life balance and performance development. This information helps to understand organisational culture across the public sector and is essential in identifying areas for further consideration and acknowledging good practice. \r\n\r\nThe EPS is typically conducted in each public sector body with more than 20 employees once every five years. Different regional offices for the largest agencies, Department of Health and Department of Education, are surveyed every year. To improve the representativeness of the sample, entities are selected across a range of sizes and portfolios. However, care should be taken in interpreting the EPS results because the sample may not be entirely representative of the broader public sector.\r\n\r\nBetween February and June 2014, all employees in 21 public sector entities were asked to complete the survey (including two regional offices from the Department of Health and one from the Department of Education). The average response rate to the survey was 48%, with 6879 valid responses received.\r\n\r\nThree files are available for download on data.gov.au:\r\n\r\n1)    Public Sector Commission EPS 2014.pdf – the survey instrument sent to relevant employees to access online or in hardcopy.\r\n\r\n2)    Public Sector Commission EPS 2014 data.xls – individual responses to the EPS, with a question key and response key.

西澳大利亚州公共部门委员会（Public Sector Commission）的宗旨是为公共部门提供领导力与专业支持，以提升其廉洁性、履职效能与运营效率。该委员会的愿景是打造一个高绩效的公共部门，满足本州当下及未来的治理需求。

根据1994年《公共部门管理法》第22D条规定，公共部门专员需每年向议会提交公共部门行政与管理状况报告，以及公共部门标准与道德准则的遵守情况报告。《2014年西澳公共部门状况报告——履职评估》（State of the WA public sector report 2014 - Measuring up）的核心信息来源之一便是员工感知调查（Employee Perception Survey, EPS）。

该调查旨在收集员工对职场影响因素的看法，涵盖领导力、内部沟通、工作与生活平衡、绩效发展等维度。相关数据有助于洞悉公共部门整体组织文化，同时可精准识别需优化的领域，并认可已有的良好实践。

通常而言，员工感知调查（EPS）每五年开展一次，覆盖所有雇员人数超过20人的公共部门机构。而对于规模最大的两个机构——卫生署（Department of Health）与教育部（Department of Education），其各区域办公室则每年接受一次调查。为提升样本代表性，调研对象涵盖了不同规模与业务领域的公共部门实体。但在解读调查结果时需谨慎，因为样本或许无法完全覆盖更广泛的公共部门群体。

2014年2月至6月期间，调研团队向21家公共部门实体的全体雇员发放了调查问卷（其中包含卫生署的2家区域办公室与教育部的1家区域办公室）。本次调查的平均有效回收率为48%，共回收有效问卷6879份。
