SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Naval Officers as Employees
Survey; OMB Control Number: 0703-SDSU.
Needs and Uses: The proposed survey is sponsored by the Navy Chief
of Information and originates out of the Navy's primary civilian public
relations graduate education program at San Diego State University,
where the Navy details public affairs officers annually in order to
earn a master's degree. This study will explore the possible
relationship between the Navy's digital communication subsidies,
employee-organization relationships (EOR), and diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belongingness (DEIB) in the officer ranks. Additionally,
findings from this research may advance the Navy's understanding of how
to use digital communication to improve DEIB and EOR in the officer
corps. Only adults (those aged 18 years or older) are eligible to
participate in the study. To get at this population, the researcher
will study naval officers assigned to different types of units (e.g.,
surface ships, aviation, submarines, special warfare, etc.) as they
represent the key demographic desired for this study. Potential
respondents will be recruited with the assistance of public affairs
officers at type commands (TYCOMs) and fleets of these units. TYCOMs
and fleets perform administrative, personnel, and operational training
functions for a ``type'' of weapon system.

This study will employ a mixed-mode for collection of surveys,
utilizing both an online survey hosted by Qualtrics and a paper-based
survey method for when online completion of the survey is not ideal.
Respondents will have an option to return the survey anonymously via
mail. Data received from this survey will assist public relations
researchers by gaining an understanding of EOR and DEIB in Naval
officers from traditionally marginalized communities as well as advance
employee-organization relationship theory.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 150.
Number of Respondents: 500.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 500.
Average Burden per Response: 18 minutes.
Frequency: Once.
Dated: November 14, 2023.
