Abstract
This chapter describes the methodology of the CNR-IRCrES survey, conducted to investigate the effects of agile working emergency implementation on the research personnel from two Italian Public Research Organizations – the National Research Council (CNR) and the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). This survey, based on the CAWI methodology, sought to explore specific aspects of scientific work such as autonomy, creativity and productivity, as well as contextual aspects such as personal well-being, the use of ICT tools and the environmental implications of agile working. The first part of the chapter describes how the survey was designed and the various dimensions that were investigated by the questionnaire. The second part summarizes the implementation phase while also introducing the participants’ profile through a descriptive analysis of the sample of respondents.
Keywords: agile working, smart working, Public Research Organisations, methodology; survey.
