Britain, achieved a total of 56 pilot interviews. The clients accompanied two interviewers during the dress rehearsal. Following the dress rehearsal exercise, the GfK research team and the interviewing team met with the client for a debriefing session. Following this, further modifications were agreed as follows: Addition of a new question relating to demotion within job Additional response option to ethnicity question Altering the scale of a battery of questions relating to the fairness in which organisations treat their employees Further interviewer instructions added to the CAPI script for clarification purposes Amendment to the Electronic Contact Sheet (e.g. additional outcome codes for soft and hard appointment) Refinement of some interviewer materials (e.g. calling/ appointment cards) Coverage and structure As in 2006 and 2012, SES2017 comprised two different modes of interviewing: CAPI (computer-assisted personal interviewing, administered by interviewers) CASI (computer-assisted self-interviewing, completed by respondents) The questionnaire was organised into the following blocks of questions: BLOCK A: Checking eligibility (age and whether in paid work in the last 7 days) BLOCK B: Broad questions about the current job C: Detailed job analysis questions BLOCK D: Computing skills and Qualifications questions BLOCK F: Work attitudes BLOCK E: The Organisation G: Pay questions J: Recent skill changes and future perspectives BLOCK I: Well-being at work BLOCK K: Personal details BLOCK Q: Follow-up and Conclusion Blocks C and I were designated as the CASI sections of the questionnaire. However, interviewers were permitted to administer sections in the normal way if the respondent preferred: the CAPI script included a question where the interviewer could state whether or not the respondent used a completion method and, if not, the reasons why they chose not to complete it themselves. A copy of the questionnaire is included in Appendix A. CAPI programming package GfK developed the SES2017 CAPI script using the IBM SPSS Data Collection Family Suite of interviewing software, referred to as Dimensions. The script was written by a Senior CAPI Programmer in GfK Technology and Services team. Initial testing was carried out by the programmer before the CAPI script was passed to the GfK research team for testing.
