Employees as Participants
Using a work environment for a research study can be complicated because of strong hierarchical relationships in the workplace, ambition to get ahead, or pressure to keep a job. The Board is required to make sure that participation in a study is voluntarily. You should construct your study so that participants are not directly or indirectly coerced into participation. The party who is funding the study can affect the voluntary nature of the study. Also, some workplace evaluations may not be research studies and do not qualify for IRB review. The following section outlines the requirements for conducting research in a workplace and discusses some of the issues involved.
