Description
This thesis explores the relationship between introversion and individual commitment to corporate social responsibility. Research was gathered from a survey that classifies respondents as introverts or extroverts, and analyzes perceptions and commitment to social responsibility both on an organizational and personal behavior level. Findings from the study show that introverts are not more likely than extroverts to prioritize social responsibility at work or through their personal lives. However, there is evidence in this study that introverts think about corporate social responsibility and its effects on business success in a different way than extroverts. Introverts focus on avoiding risk, and they may be more prone than extroverts to see business success and social responsibility as two opposing forces. Introverts also perceive a wider gap between the current state of prioritization for CSR responsibilities and what they feel this prioritization should be. This study has a number of practical implications for business leaders hoping to increase commitment to CSR within an organization while drawing on the strengths of each personality type. Recommendations for increasing commitment to CSR are based on survey findings and research from secondary sources.

Description
The objective of this study was to investigate if 911 operators experience similar stressors and amounts of stress as law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel. To accomplish this, I conducted a focus group to obtain information about similar stressors experienced by all three areas of emergency services. Then I utilized this information to form a survey to quantify the amounts of stress experienced by emergency service personnel. My findings indicate that the stress experience is similar.
