Dear Prospective Participant:
I am a doctoral candidate working under the direction of Dr. Kecia M. Thomas in the Department of Psychology at the University of Georgia. I invite you to participate in a research study which focuses on workplace experiences of employees in management positions. The purpose of the current study is to learn more about how various workplace factors affect these individual's work attitudes and perceptions, especially those in regards to organizational diversity climate, efficacy and turnover intentions. The survey link is http://tinyurl.com/workplacestudy
.
You have been selected to participate in this study because you have been identified as a professional who works in a managerial/supervisory position. For the purpose of this study, a professional in a management position is defined as anyone who works full-time and is paid on a yearly, not hourly, salary, who has a job title or position of supervisor or manager or is in a position where they current have supervisory experience or budget accountability. College professors and administrators do qualify. A college degree is not required.
If you do not meet the professional and managerial/supervisory criterion, please disregard this request; however, please forward this survey on to others that you know who would meet these conditions.
If you do meet the criteria, we ask that you take 15-30 minutes to complete our survey at http://tinyurl.com/workplacestudy
or
https://ugapsych.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSbiAe05DXdE3CA
and ask that you forward this survey to others!!. Participation in our study, and learning the results of it, will be one way that we can understand the work experiences and some of the challenges that may influence the turnover intentions and perceived self efficacy of managers and supervisors. It can also help us develop and support organizational practices that improve the work lives of these individuals.
By completing the web survey, you are making this important project possible.
Sincerely,
Bryan L. Dawson, M.S. Kecia M. Thomas, Ph.D.
