46 0 6 | D E TA ILE D R E SU LT S NORTHERN TERRITORY PUBLIC SECTOR PEOPLE MATTER SURVEY REPORT 2014 This section of the report presents results for each individual survey item. Detailed results allow the investigation of themes outside of the assigned headings (e.g., personal accountability, perceptions of how supportive the NTPS is, satisfaction/agreement with the job characteristics) which can only be performed by looking at the detailed results. To interpret results for 2014, it is important to consider all of the information provided for each question and not just a component in isolation.
