Overview

The (hierarchical) codebook

We gradually developed a codebook of factor labels to fit the data.

Opposites coding

The main factors are understood in a positive way, so D&I approaches; culture refers to (aspects of) a positive, pro-diversity and/or pro-inclusion approach. However, sometimes, causal claims are made which concern the lack or absence of, or poor / disappointing performance on, the same factors. In this case, they are coded with a preceding ~ symbol which can be read as “not” or “weak” or “lack of”.

Main (Second-level) factors

We will combine these into a smaller number of second-level factors.

This table excludes factors which were only mentioned once.

Do different groups of respondents answer the questions in different ways?

(EXCLUDING PPL OUTSIDE UK )

Does the number of mentions of individual links differ according to the meta variables like gender?

The baseline for comparison is the total number of link mentions by each group.

Here we print out sets of tables for each meta variable – unless there are no significant results at all for a meta variable, in which case we print “No significant results”, as with ethnicity, below.

In these tables, the coloure row counts all the links between the approaches and the outcomes – each link is a particular story or fragment of a story – for each of the groups e.g. women and men. We set a baseline by looking at the overall size of the groups according to the meta variable, e.g. the number of women and men, and look to see if the numbers of women and men who mentioned this set of links are in significantly different proportions to the baseline. If they are, the row is included in the table, with brighter orange background showing a larger proportion than expected, and a brighter blue showing a smaller proportion than expected.

Main meta variables, high significance level

Key to the colours:

A brighter orange background means the proportion of people from a particular group (e.g. women) in a particular row is larger than expected, and a brighter blue means the proportion is smaller than expected.

These are the main meta variables:

#ETHNICITY_PV
#ORG SIZE_PV
#ROLE_IN_ORGANISATION_PV
#IndustrySector_PV
#Gender
#Gender identity
#Sexual orientation
#AGE_PV
#SEC_main_earner

In the tables, each row is a set of links between a pair of factors – a particular story or fragment of a story. We set a baseline by looking at the overall size of the groups according to the meta variable, e.g. the number of women and men, and look to see if the numbers of women and men who mentioned this particular story are in significantly different proportions to the baseline. If they are, the row is included in the table, with brighter orange background showing a larger proportion than expected, and a brighter blue showing a smaller proportion than expected.
