Dear Learning-Org Member,
My name is Michael Kennedy and I am a doctoral candidate in the
University of North Texas Industrial/Organizational Psychology Ph.D.
program. I am contacting Learning-Org members to invite your
participation in my dissertation research investigating people's
perceptions of fit with their job, organization, and profession.
A recent trend suggests that professional employees increasingly favor
career/professional development compared to commitment to an employing
organization. To examine this trend, the current study investigates
professionals^Ò perceptions of fit with levels of their work
environment (e.g., job, organization, and profession) and the distinct
impact of these perceptions on their attitudes (e.g., job
satisfaction) and behaviors (e.g., performance).
Since my research focuses on perceived fit with one's profession,
sampling from a professional affiliation such as Learning-Org was
chosen due to the level of professionalism characteristic of its
members.
This dissertation study is for research purposes only. Participation
in the study is anonymous and you will not be asked for any personally
identifying information. Furthermore, your responses will not be
linked to you in any way. The study's survey is web-based and should
take no more than 20 minutes to complete. If you would like to
receive a report of my research findings, please reply to this email
