How to Run the Survey

To support the development of public servants surveys around the world, the GSPS provides a series of resources to strengthen the survey process.

 

1. We propose a core module for inclusion in all surveys of public officials.

​

2. We provide a large range of other modules as a question bank.

​

3. We have produced a series of survey tools to guide survey work.

Global Survey Core Questionnaire Module

To improve the coherence of surveys of public servants across space and time, the GSPS proposes that public servants surveys include a common module of questions.  There are 46 questions in total, with a standard running time of 15 minutes.  Browse the core module below and download it here.  The rationale for a common module and the selection of the particular questions chosen is outlined in the GSPS Conceptual Framework.  Please contact us if you require the questionnaire in other languages.
