Action Research Projects

booksThe Action Research Project (3 credits) is an opportunity for students in the Organizational Leadership program to synthesize the competencies they have acquired from the curriculum with research and their work experience.  The outcome of this project is an actual intervention in an organization that is designed to strengthen the health and effectiveness of the organization.   Each student submits the theme of their proposed Action Research Project to their project advisor.  After approval, the student conducts research on the theme, executes the intervention, writes a brief overview of their project and meets with their advisor to share their results.

Below are several Action Research Projects that students have agreed to make available.  Due to the unique nature of the Action Research Project, most papers contain information considered proprietary to the organization in which the research was conducted.  As a result, we only provide public access to the following data related to each project:

  • Author Name
  • Job Title
  • Employer Name
  • Contact Number
  • Title of Project
  • Action Research
  • Project Bibliography
