Purpose of the research study: The purpose of the study is to investigate individual perceptions of specific work-related behaviors.
What you will do in the study: You will be asked to fill out a survey. You will first be asked to answer some demographics questions, and then be given a list of work-related behaviors and asked to rate them in various ways. You may be asked one or two open-ended questions about your own experiences and opinions with these behaviors.
Time required: The study will require about 20-30 minutes of your time. This can be split into multiple sessions once you register to participate.
Risks: There are no anticipated risks in this study beyond potentially feeling temporary fatigue.
Benefits: There are no immediate benefits to you for participating in this research study aside from receiving your own results. The study may help us understand why people do and do not engage in specific work-related behaviors in ways that allow us or others to develop helpful interventions. We hope that, in the future, other people might benefit from this study based on the increased understanding and interventions that may occur.
Confidentiality: Your data will be anonymous which means that your name will not be collected or linked to the data. The data collected by investigators will not be linked to your identity. Researchers will not ascertain identities based on any information provided. All electronic data will be protected using continuously updated data security measures. Participants will never be identifiable in any written outputs produced based on analysis of aggregate patterns.

Right to withdraw from the study: You have the right to stop the survey at any point. If you decide not to participate in this study or if you stop participating at any time, you will not be penalized or lose any benefits to which you otherwise qualify.
How to withdraw from the study: If you want to withdraw from the study, simply close the survey. Incomplete surveys will not be used. You may withdraw prior to submitting your answers, but not afterward because of the anonymous nature of the data. There is no penalty for withdrawing.
