Primary AnalysisThe primary analysis of WERS 2004 is reported in two stages. A free 40-page booklet of First Findings were published by the DTI in July 2005, whilst the full report (the sourcebook) was published by Routledge in July 2006. An accompanying 120-page report provides a descriptive portrait of employment relations in small and medium-sized enterprises. Further details of each of these publications are provided below. A small number of errata have been identified in the primary analysis. Details are available to download here. First Findings:Kersley B, Alpin C, Forth J, Bryson A, Bewley H, Dix G and Oxenbridge S (2005) First Findings from the 2004 Workplace Employment Relations Survey, London : Department of Trade and Industry. Download from DTI web-site Hard copies of the First Findings are also available free-of-charge from the DTI Publications Order line.

The slides from the Powerpoint presentation used at the launch event is available to download from the DTI website. DTI WERS website Syntax files to replicate figures in First Findings The following files make available the syntax developed by the WERS Research Team in the preparation of the First Findings publication. Much of this syntax also provides the starting point for the analysis presented in the sourcebook. The intention is that these files will make the precise nature of the primary analysis more transparent. The files include the syntax needed to replicate all of the figures reported in First Findings, as well as the syntax to create the many derived variables used in the analysis. For the 2004 Cross-Section Survey of Managers alone, the syntax creates more than 200 derived variables. There are twelve SPSS syntax files in total, as set out in the tables below. The syntax to a) create the derived variables and b) replicate the First Findings figures, are provided in separate files. The tables syntax files contain commands to run the appropriate derived variables syntax through SPSS ‘include’ statements. In order to run the syntax, the user must first amend the file paths as appropriate, and then open the tables syntax and ‘run all’. This will derive the required variables and produce the tables. The names of the files in which the file paths must be altered are listed at the top of each tables syntax file. To derive all the variables used in First Findings it is necessary to match in some additional data files. Links to these files are provided in the final table below. Commands to match in these data files are included within the relevant syntax. Therefore, the user simply needs to save these data files to the appropriate directory and ensure that the paths in the syntax files are amended accordingly. To give an example of this, to replicate the figures in First Findings based on the 2004 Cross-Section Survey of Managers, users should open the syntax files ‘WERS 2004 MQ derived variables.sps’ and ‘WERS 2004 MQ FF tables.sps’, change the file paths as necessary and save both files. The user should then run the tables syntax file. There are a few additional issues that users should be aware of:
WIAS would like to express their thanks to the WERS Research Team for allowing us to make their syntax publicly available. The individual syntax files and additional data files can be downloaded from the tables below; alternatively download the complete set of files, including a copy of these notes (zipped) here. For users without access to SPSS, the derived variables created by the syntax files below are also available in text file format upon request.
