“…The TDM strives to build a positive social exchange with participants and involves customizing survey methods to each specific situation in accordance with the audience, available funding, and necessary time frame for response (Dillman et al, 2014). It has been shown to yield response rates above 50% (Chidlow, Ghauri, Yeniyurt, & Cavusgil, 2015;Dillman et al, 2014). For the current study, three mail-based contacts were made with potential participants.…”

The purpose of this study was to describe and explore early elementary school teachers' practices with regard to addressing student anxiety, focusing on the types of anxiety-reducing strategies they teach in their classes, the level at which they teach them (i.e., on an individual, small group, or whole class level), and the nature of the approach they use (i.e., proactive or reactive). Using a modified version of Tailored Design Methodology (TDM; Dillman, Smyth, & Christian, 2014), survey results (N=190 teacher participants; 64% response rate) indicated that almost two-thirds (66%) of teachers affirmed that student anxiety was impacting their classrooms. Almost all teachers (i.e., 90%) acknowledged teaching multiple anxiety-reducing strategies to their students, contrary to expectations. Survey participants most commonly reported teaching strategies to the whole class, as opposed to teaching strategies to small groups of students or to students on an individual basis. Use of reactive, as opposed to proactive approaches to teaching these strategies were more often reported. Implications are provided for how school personnel can support teachers in using a more proactive approach and ensuring that targeted instruction is available for students with more intensive needs.

“…Most research in international business is cross-cultural or across national borders (Childlow, Ghauri, Yeniyurt, & Cavusgil, 2015). With this nature, survey is considered as the most expedient way to reach the objects that are dispersed around different countries or are located in distant area.…”

AUTHORSMaria Yosephine Dwi Hayu Agustini https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3330-249X ARTICLE INFOMaria Yosephine Dwi Hayu Agustini (2018 AbstractLow response rate has been considered as a matter in a survey. Even though researcher has applied techniques to enhance the response rate, they very often still experience low rate of response. This paper tries to share the challenging experience in dealing with low response rate in the context of international business research. This is a questionnaire survey of small firms in Indonesia that were doing business abroad. The results show that it is more important to select the most effective survey method rather than techniques to enhance response rate in order to deal with local condition. Survey by knocking the door is found to be the best suited alternative for maximizing the response rate.
