I am looking for a validated survey for use in my dissertation research. Thus the problem statement is how do companies create a sustainable workforce in a competitive environment with a declining population that requires an increasing level of sophisticated skills and technical knowledge when the average lifespan of skills is five years and diminishing?

My research questions are:

A. Is there a correlation between the rate of employee retention and the amount of training the employees receive?

B. Do companies that invest in training have employees with longer tenure?

C. Do companies that use professional training (higher education, consultants, etc.) have a better retention rate than those that utilize internal training?

D. Does external training provide better knowledge transfer than training which is provided internally?

Any guidance to a survey instrument that could be utilized would be helpful.
