Deadline extended!
You are invited to participate in a 10-minute, anonymous survey for an IRB‑approved research study that serves as the final requirement for my Doctor of Philosophy degree at Western Michigan University. The study, conducted under the supervision of Dr. David Szabla, examines how full‑time higher education employees navigate organizational change. Specifically, it explores the relationship between resistance to change and an individual's paradox mindset-the ability to work effectively amid competing demands or contradictions in the workplace.
I understand that clicking on a survey link from someone you don't know can raise reasonable concerns. To help you feel confident about the legitimacy of this request, you are welcome to Google my name or visit my LinkedIn profile to verify my identity, affiliation with Western Michigan University, and research background.
If you feel comfortable participating, the survey link is below. Your insights as a higher‑education professional would be extremely valuable. All full-time employees of higher education institutions in the United States are welcome to participate.
