1) The survey given in the above question is for evaluating the performance of employee, supervisors and different departments of the organization. The survey includes identifying the process of work in the organization. This includes identifying answers to many questions such as, Is the supervisor perform its duties efficiently? Is team members work with the sense of resposibility of their work? How effectively criticisms are handled? etc. All these questions can help in evaluating the effective working of the organization.

The respondents to the survey are employees of the organization. There are various methods which can be used to measure reliability of survey. Reliability is concerned with the consistency of our measurement, that's the degree to which the questions used in a survey elicit the same type of information each time they are used under the same conditions.
