Question 8

The City Council has requested that the municipal research unit in the city manager’s office examine why so many citizens appear to be dissatisfied with municipal services. That dissatisfaction has manifested itself in complaints to city council members, to the city manager and mayor’s offices, to heads of city departments and in letters-to-the-editor of the local and community newspapers. Using citizen satisfaction with city services as your dependent variable, write five hypotheses that you could then test in a survey of citizen attitudes in your city. Identify the independent and dependent variables. How would you operationalize the independent and dependent variables? How would you collect the data?
