Hartnell College 1999 Accreditation Employee Survey Final Report.

This document describes the results of an employee survey conducted as part of an Accreditation Self-Study at Hartnell College (California). Approximately 70% of the college's employees responded to the survey during fall 1999, and the respondents' characteristics appeared to be representative of all Hartnell employees. Employees as a whole appeared to be satisfied with how most aspects of the college are functioning, as evidenced by the median response for the vast majority (75%) of survey statements being "mostly agree." However, there were some subgroups, notably full-time faculty, whose responses were significantly less positive in some areas compared with other subgroups and respondents as a whole. Survey results indicated areas of strength, such as employees are interested in promoting student academic success and the college community promotes an environment that supports student and employee diversity. Areas of difference or areas needing improvement included: (1) working conditions and relations among administrators, faculty and classified staff; (2) budget planning, access to software applications, respectful treatment and governance (all issues raised by full-time faculty); and (3) parking. Contains 6 figures, 11 tables and a copy of the survey. (PGS)
