Informed Consent
You are invited to participate in our social media survey. We are a group of industrial-organizational psychology graduate students at the Florida Institute of Technology.
It will take approximately 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
In this survey, organization members will be asked to answer questions about social media websites, which are defined as online communities consisting of individuals with similar interests. Common examples include Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. We are specifically looking for organization members who are involved in the hiring process.
These social media websites are growing in use and importance. We are interested in understanding what types of information employers hope to acquire by using social media information when making hiring decisions.
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.
