Call for Participation in ClimateQUAL®: Organizational Climate and Diversity Assessment 2011 and 2012

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) invites participation in the ClimateQUAL® survey in 2011 or 2012. The ClimateQUAL®: Organizational Climate and Diversity Assessment (OCDA) project centerpiece is an online survey that collects information about staff perceptions concerning (a) the organization’s commitment to the principles of diversity, (b) staff perceptions of organizational policies and procedures, and (c) staff attitudes. The survey addresses issues such as diversity, teamwork, learning, fairness, current managerial practices, and staff attitudes and beliefs.

ARL, in partnership with the University of Maryland Industrial/Organizational Psychology (I/OP) Program, offers this protocol to the library community. We are currently seeking eight to ten additional US, Canadian, and UK institutions to participate in 2012. Please note that participants need to survey at least 50 part-time or full-time employees, possibly including student workers.

More details on the call for participation are available in the original press release.
