Executive Summary
The purpose of our research was to gauge the reasons why people do and do not get involved with Slippery Rock School of Business organizations. We wanted to compare many factors within our collected data to try and get a better understanding of the personal feelings and characteristics of those people both involved and not involved in organizations.
The data collected for just those not involved in organizations, shows that out of 71 students only 43 of them have ever thought of being in an organization. Many of the organizations in the School of Business have never even been heard of by the respondents. Many of the students feel that being involved could be valuable to them in the future. But due to a variety of factors the most prevalent one being a lack of free time, the students still do not become involved. This may be because of work or because of being involved in other organizations.
Our research showed a variety of reasons why students did join. When asked to check all that apply, students selected to gain experience, to network, and to put a name on their resume as the top reasons why they joined. Close to 75% of those students said that their expectations were met and all of them said they would tell fellow students to become involved. Twenty respondents said they think membership will be valuable, where thirteen said it would prove to be very valuable.
As we analyzed the data collected from both categories of students we can see that in general, students that are involved have a higher GPA. We thought that there would also be a relationship between higher GPA and number of classes skipped per week but this is not the case. We found that 51% of those involved skip 0 classes per week where 56% of those not involved skip 0 classes per week. Students involved in organizations also tend to be more dedicated to their major and both sets of students value their career very highly.
