Definitions:

Diversity describes the variety of the staff in hospitals. Therefore, a high diversity indicates that a great variety of cultures, age-groups, educational backgrounds, and e.g. an equal number of male and female employees is observable in the workforce. Conversely, a workforce has a low diversity when all members have the same culture, age, educational background, and e.g. the same gender.

Please refer questions containing “this hospital“ or “your hospital“ to the hospital you are currently working in.


Data confidentiality:

All data collected with this questionnaire are treated strictly confidentially. The data will be evaluated anonymously at the university of Bayreuth and used for scientific purposes only. The results of this research project will be published compressed and statistically evaluated. Consequently it will be impossible to relate results to individual corporations, hospitals or persons.
