Survey Data on Industrial Standards and Firm Performance in Indonesia

Description

This data article presents a comprehensive dataset gathered from 276 companies across various sectors, including primary, manufacturing, and services, in Indonesia. The dataset includes the opinions of small, medium, and large-scale companies on the significance of implementing standards in relation to compliance, cost efficiency, customer satisfaction, innovation, quality, and productivity. The survey evaluates the influence of standardization on company performance from three different perspectives, and also collects data on the competitiveness of firms and government programs that aid in implementing standards. Furthermore, the survey identifies the obstacles that companies face in implementing standards, resulting in a total of 17 constructs and 167 variables in the dataset. This dataset can be utilized to understand the challenges related to standard implementation and compliance, assess the impact of industry standards on company performance, identify the advantages of implementing industry standards, gain insight into companies' perceptions, knowledge, and experiences with industry standards, and provide input from companies regarding standards to the government.

Steps to reproduce

In developing the survey, we meticulously outlined its objectives, aiming to capture insights from 276 companies across diverse sectors in Indonesia concerning the implementation and impact of industry standards. We curated a comprehensive company directory, rigorously validating and selecting a representative sample that accounted for factors like sector, size, and geographical location. Crafting a robust survey instrument with 17 constructs and structured into 17 blocks, we covered aspects ranging from company profiles to perceptions, impacts, and barriers related to standards. A pilot study involving a small group allowed us to refine the questionnaire, ensuring its effectiveness. Subsequently, we distributed the survey via email, prioritizing participant anonymity to safeguard privacy. Implementing a thoughtful follow-up strategy bolstered response rates, and employing a 7-point Likert scale facilitated meaningful data analysis. Rigorous checks for nonrespondent and common method bias added validity to our results. Ultimately, we presented the findings coherently, shedding light on the challenges, advantages, and perceptions of companies regarding standardization in Indonesia. Objective and Scope: Clearly define the objectives of the survey, including the specific aspects to be explored and the target population. Data Collection: Compile a directory of companies from various sources, including government agencies, Statistics Indonesia, and public databases. Validate the list to include companies that have voluntarily implemented standards such as SNI, ISO, HACCP, Halal Certifications, GMP, PSAK, OHS, BPOM, etc.
