Hello, my name is Cheryl Harris. I am a doctoral candidate in
Industrial/Organizational Psychology at the University of North Texas.
I am currently in the process of completing my dissertation research on
Collaboration in Organizations and I'm looking for people to complete a
survey. Please consider participating if you are currently employed by an
organization, firm, school, or other organizational entity.
For more information about this study - including an overview of the model
being studied, Frequently Asked Questions, and sample email text to send to
others in your organization who you would like to invite to participate - go
to
www.collaborativeorganization.com/study.htm.
How Do I Participate?
Individuals are asked to complete a confidential survey. Participation in
the study is anonymous and your responses will not be linked to you in any
way. Completing the survey will take from 30-45 minutes. To complete the
web-based survey, click on the following link (or copy and paste it into
your web browser).

What Is the Purpose of the Study?
The purpose of the study is to understand how organizations can better
support people working together effectively to get the job done. I have
created a model of the organization design elements necessary to support
collaboration in organizations. The current study will help improve this
model and begin establishing links between collaboration in organizations
and organizational effectiveness.
Why Am I Asking You to Participate?
I am looking for a variety of individuals from a wide spectrum of
organizations to complete the survey. Whether or not your organization uses
teams or other ways to improve collaboration, your input is valuable to the
study!
Can I Get the Results?
FREE! Feedback reports summarizing the results of this survey are available
at two levels:
. Study-level report. Any individual participating in this survey is
eligible to receive a report summarizing the compiled results of everyone
participating in the study
. Organization-level report. If 30 or more people take the survey (special
arrangements may be made for smaller organizations) and select the same
organization in the demographics section of the survey they are eligible to
receive a feedback report summarizing the compiled results of the
organization.
Please note that no information identifying individual participants will be
included in any report. Please contact Cheryl Harris using the information
below to request study-level or organization-level reports. At the end of
the survey, you will be reminded to contact Cheryl for a feedback report and
given her contact information again.
Thank you!
