Researchers

Human Synergistics materials are designed for change and development programmes and for use by trainers and consultants. However, instruments such as the Organisational Culture Inventory provide statistically valid and reliable means for conducting quantitative research. Therefore, our inventories are frequently used by university faculty members and graduate students for research purposes.

Human Synergistics supports the research use of the inventories (and simulations) by offering a research discount on materials purchased exclusively for such purposes. Researchers interested in obtaining a research discount should submit to Human Synergistics two copies of their research proposal including information on the procedures, the number of people to be surveyed, and funding constraints. In exchange for any research discounts approved by Human Synergistics, investigators are expected to provide us with:

(1) copies of all working papers, presentations, reports to sponsors and manuscripts to be submitted for publication which present results and

(2) a copy of the data collected through the use of the materials as soon as such data become available. Researchers can submit the scoring sheets (i.e., NCR second sheets), a raw data file (ASCII file), or an SPSS/Windows file.

Researchers will be asked to sign a letter of agreement confirming the terms of use of the instrument. Please contact HS in the United States at info@humansynergistics.com for additional information.
