Hello:
You are invited to participate in our Leadership Styles Preference Inventory. In this survey, you are asked to rank items from 15 questions on your preferred leadership styles for work related endeavors. This survey questionnaire may take approximately 12-15 minutes to complete. You are also asked to answer a few demographic questions to ensure the test minimizes bias.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and 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 me, Craig Ellis, by email at mailto:[email protected].
For each question, you are to drag and drop the 6 statements so they are ordered according to your preference. The top-most item will be your most-preferred and the bottom-most item should be your least preferred. These 6 statements describe leadership behaviors that managers, supervisors, or potential leaders may display in the workplace. Statements that describe leadership behaviors that are more preferable to you should be shown above statements that describe leadership behaviors that are less preferable to you.
Please read all of the statements in the set before deciding how to rank the statements.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
Sincerely,
Craig Ellis |
