In 1979, serious research was just beginning on the connections
between stratification outcomes and organizations. Data suitable
for investigating these connections were scarce, and the general
wisdom was that they would remain scarce--since organizational case
studies were seen as the only means of gathering linked individual
and organizational data. The case study approach does allow one to
link the two types of data, but gathering such data on more than a
few organizations is prohibitively expensive and difficult, and
having only a few organizations limits g- eralizability. To help
solve this problem, we developed the idea of a survey of a random
sample of several thousand employed individuals, followed by a
second survey of their several thousand employing or- nizations.
This method, we reasoned, would provide us with a gen- alizable,
simple random sample of individuals, coupled with a weighted random
sample of organizations (weighted, of course, by size of orga-
zation). An added benefit would be that these valuable data could
be gathered by a survey organization for the price of two simple
surveys. It was not an easy idea to sell. We developed it into a
proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF), and though the
reviewers were o- erwise sympathetic, they were almost unanimous in
their contention that such a survey would not work because
"obviously" the great maj- ity of respondents would refuse to
reveal exactly who their employers were.
