Description & Coverage
Description:

One of the infinite rewards to continuously advancing technology is an increased ease and precision in organizational techniques. Online data collection and online instruments are vital ways to electronically measure and assess organizational areas relevant to management, leadership, and human research development.

Online Instruments, Data Collection, and Electronic Measurements: Organizational Advancements aims to assist researchers in both understanding and utilizing online data collection by providing methodological knowledge related to online research, and by presenting information about the empirical quality, the availability, and the location of specific online instruments. This book provides a strong focus on organizational leadership instruments while combining them with practical and ethical issues associated with online data collection. Such a combination makes this a unique contribution to the field.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Ethical Considerations in Online Measurements
  • Followers’ Characteristics, Behaviors, and Attitudes
  • Leaders’ Characteristics, Behaviors, and Attitudes
  • Online Survey Software
  • Online Surveys and Questionnaires
  • Organizational Communication Research
Reviews & Statements

Education specialists and other contributors identify Internet resources relating to organizational leadership, particularly applications of evidence to leadership approaches and processes. In sections on methodological issues, analysis of established measures, new measurements, and uses and comparisons they consider such topics as using mixed methods in organizational communication research, measurement instruments for fatalism, seven scales to measure the seven beatitudes in leaders, the inventory of learner persistence, and preferred features of course management systems in post-secondary and corporate online learning.
