APPENDIX G: Participant Instructions/Release Form<br />

Dear Associate of Iowa Hospital CEO:<br />

My name is Lynn Janssen and I am a doctoral student in the Educational<br />

Leadership program at <strong>Drake</strong> <strong>University</strong> in Des Moines, Iowa. I am conducting a<br />

research study to explore the relationships between Iowa Hospital Chief<br />

Executive Officers' (CEO) leadership styles and their personal values. In<br />

addition, I will be exploring the relationships between the CEO's leadership style<br />

and the size and setting of the hospitals they serve as well as the CEO's years of<br />

experience, age, and gender, and leadership training. To assist with this research I<br />

am asking that you complete the following 45-item questionnaire about the<br />

leadership behaviors of your hospital CEO. Completion of the survey should take<br />

approximately 10 minutes to complete.<br />

The survey results will remain anonymous (coded by CEO NAME to allow later<br />

matching) and your participation is completely voluntary. Also, you may<br />

withdraw your participation at any time during this process. Finally, please be<br />

advised that this information is for research purposes only and that the results will<br />

be presented in an aggregate form and will not be released or published as<br />

individual CEO studies. While the complete results of the study may be<br />

published, your name or that of your hospital or CEO will not be known.<br />

The CEO has been afforded the opportunity to receive a report of the collective<br />

responses if four or more raters respond to the 360" assessment. This is done to<br />

further assure anonymity of the respondents. Your individual results will not be<br />

made available to the CEO or any other entity. If you have any questions,<br />

please contact Lynn Janssen at 515-223-6620, ext. 222 or via ernail at<br />

lynnjpremier@aol.com. Return of the completed survey in the attached stamped<br />

and addressed envelope will be considered your consent to participate.<br />

Please complete the attached survey and<br />

mail in the attached addressed envelope by<br />

Thank you for your participatiorr.
