NSW SES-Valuing Volunteers Survey

Thank you for agreeing to participate in an anonymous survey of the values of NSW SES volunteers. This survey is part of independent research being undertaken by University of Wollongong researchers (and approved by the university’s Human Research Ethics Committee) that aims to better understand the primary motives for volunteering in emergency services. Values are the enduring principles and beliefs that guide and motivate individual and group actions, and this study aims to reveal the dominant and shared values of the NSW SES volunteer workforce.

This survey briefly describes a range of different people and asks how much like you is this person, with response options from this person is very much like me to this person is not like me at all. There are no right or wrong answers, and your choices provide a guide to your own values preferences. The survey should take around 15 minutes to complete.
