This year Staff Senate teamed up with the office of human resources to develop and administer a staff survey.
Staff Senate survey demonstrates overall satisfaction
The survey was designed with multiple goals in mind, including:
- To provide baseline information about staff perceptions regarding their job satisfaction, commitment to Missouri State University, engagement at work, work-life culture, supervisor’s style of leadership and loyalty to the university as a place to work and as a place for education.
- To examine attitudes toward current professional development activities and to assess needs of future professional development activities.
- To survey use of, awareness in and lack of interest in different benefits provided by Missouri State University.
- To provide an outlet for staff to express what’s exciting about their job, what are blocks and hindrances they experience at work, and what they would change to improve effectiveness and satisfaction at work.
Findings from this survey can be compared to future survey efforts to examine changes over time. Results of this survey may assist human resources and Staff Senate plan for future staff needs.
The final report from the survey can be found on the Staff Senate webpage.
Highlights
- Respondents gave supervisors high scores in “individual consideration leadership” which measures the extent to which a supervisor or manager treats each employee as an individual rather than just a member of a group.
- Respondents demonstrated an emotional attachment to Missouri State, indicating that they identify and feel involved with the university.
- Respondents indicated a high level of job engagement and satisfaction.
- Respondents reported high levels in “work-life culture” which measures the extent to which the university supports and values the integration of employees’ work life and non-work life.
Thanks to everyone who responded to the survey. While shedding light on areas where the university can continue to improve, the survey results demonstrate that staff predominantly see Missouri State University as a great place to work.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
