Abstract: This information collection is part of data collection activities for an applied research project authorized by 10 U.S. Code § 2358, Research and Development Projects, and 10 U.S. Code § 3013, Secretary of the Army. The research data that will be collected during this information collection will be used to validate a measure of inclusion policy practice decoupling (IPPD), as well as to test a scientific model of IPPD. Policies for inclusion can assist organizations in reaping the benefits of diversity amongst their ranks. Fully successful implementation of these inclusive policies requires aligned behaviors (practices). However, sometimes what leaders say (policy) and what leaders do (practice) may not align (decoupling): leaders may say more than they do or they may do more than they say. This research will be the first scientific attempt at understanding how alignment of inclusive policies and practices, or misalignment (decoupling), may influence the organizational outcomes expected from diversity (see attachments 1c-1f). Findings from this research within the military context are anticipated to allow the Army to develop better methods for increasing inclusive policies and practices and improving organizational performance.

Emergency Justfication: This internal survey information collection is part of ongoing data collection activities for an applied research project and is authorized by 10 U.S. Code § 2358, Research and Development Projects, and 10 U.S. Code § 3013, Secretary of the Army. DoD is requesting emergency processing to collect the information in compliance with the new requirements for surveys of public interest.
