Organizational Cynicism Research Study

This study is being conducted as part of a capstone project at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith in order to study the causes, effects, and potential cures of organizational cynicism. Participants must be 18 years of age or older to participate in this project and participation is entirely voluntary. Participants can decide to stop at any time during the survey and may skip any questions if desired.



All participants will be encouraged not to share any information, in which they could be personally identified. The information gained from the interviews will be transcribed with no names, proper nouns, or any identifying information. Privacy will be protected for all participants. All interview information will be in password protected electronic files.



The treatment of all participants will be equal, irrespective of their function and role in the organizations they represent. All participants will be given equal weight and respect in the development of research themes and analysis that supports the research findings. Participants will be informed that if they feel they have been harmed in anyway by the interview process or the research study, they can contact Dr. Kristin Tardif of the University of Arkansas Fort Smith.
