Appraising Organizational Culture

Sometimes leaders must check in with organizational members to appraise the current ethical work climate. Periodic evaluations of the culture and climate help leaders and coaches know when things are going well and when interventions are needed to improve the environment. In this two-part assignment, you will develop and distribute a tool for measuring ethical behavior in your organization and report on the findings. For this assignment, you will submit your measurement tool items and an introductory paragraph to participants. Step 1 Research various tools for measuring ethical behavior in an organization. Based on your research and the type of organization you work for, identify a tool you will use to collect data on ethical behavior in the workplace. Examples of tools are surveys, questionnaires, and interviews. Consider whether you will use a Likert scale, open-ended responses, or a combination. Step 2 Construct at least 10 items to include in your tool. Some items could be written as questions and others as statements for judgments or responses. Step 3 Develop the tool. Consider the following: How will you distribute the tool? How will you collect the data? How will you protect the identity of the participants? You may use a platform like Survey Monkey, Google, Pollfish, or another of your choice. Include a paragraph to the participant introducing the tool. Explain its purpose, how you will use the data, and when you need it to be completed. Step 4 Submit a Word document with the one-paragraph introduction to participants and items in your ethical behavior measurement tool. (No APA citations or references are necessary for this assignment.) Due May 4
