FACULTY TO FACULTY INCIVILITY AND WORK EFFORT RESEARCH STUDY
Greetings,
I am an EdD student at Benedictine University, impassioned with promoting positive and transformative organizational culture. I have recently begun research that focuses on faculty-to-faculty incivility and work effort.
My research examines the relationship between incivility and work effort among nursing faculty in a non-tenured technical college system associate-degree nursing program. As educators, we know that incivility in the workplace makes it difficult to retain and recruit the most talented of nursing educators.
In the following survey we are gathering data for this research. Participation in the survey is voluntary and will take you approximately 10 minutes to complete. It can be discontinued at any time and any information you provide is anonymous. In addition, email addresses and personal information are not linked to participant results and are not available to me. Data will be gathered and analyzed as a group and with no individual notation. Thank you very much for your time and support and helping with this research that aims to better understand and improve civility in the workplace. To begin the survey, please click on the Continue button below.
Warmest regards, Valerie Palarski, RN, MSN/ED |
