We would like to hear from you about the friendships you may have in your workplace. The purpose of our study is the investigation how your colleagues may influence your attitudes toward your organization.

We are interested in researching the idea that some people may be loyal to the organization in which they work and intend to stay with the company because, at least in part, they have important friendships with their colleagues. Alternatively, some people may be less loyal or may want to leave an organization because of poor relationships with coworkers.

Please take a few moments to think about how you feel about your colleagues in your current or previous workplaces and to reflect on whether your friendships or lack of friendships with your colleagues affected your commitment to the organization and your desire to remain with the company.

At the bottom of this form, please tell us about your thoughts relating to this issue.
