PMU survey

Exit Survey »

Hello:
You are invited to participate in our survey [Project Description Here]. In this survey, approximately [Approximate Respondents] people will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about [General Survey Process]. It will take approximately [Approximate Time] minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact [Name of Survey Researcher] at [Phone Number] or by email at the email address specified below.

These six questions ask you to identify the way you experience your organization right now, and, separately, the way you think it should be in the future if it is to achieve its highest aspirations. In the survey, “the organization” refers to the organization managed by your boss (or the organization in which you manage).

Please rate each of the statements by dividing 100 points between alternatives A, B, C, and D depending on how similar the description is to your firm. (100 would indicate very similar and 0 would indicate not at all similar). The total points for each question must equal 100. The assessment uses this method to better demonstrate how trade-offs always exist in organizations and resources—including time and attention—are never unconstrained. That is, the response scale demonstrates the inherent tradeoffs required in any approach to culture change.

First, rate how you perceive the organization to be at the present time in the NOW column. Second, rate the organization again in the FUTURE column depending on how you think your organization must be if it is to accomplish its highest objectives and achieve spectacular success in three to five years.
You may divide the 100 points in any way among the four alternatives in each question. Some alternatives may get zero points, for example. Remember that the total must equal 100.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
