So how do you really feel about your work life?
 
This survey is part of a national research project on Australian attitudes to their work life and the place, if any, of faith and faith communities. The research is being conducted by Rev Scott Morrison, as a part of his doctoral studies and for Reventure, a not for profit organisation based in Melbourne dedicated to helping Australian workers and workplaces flourish in life and work.
 
By filling out this survey you are contributing to important social research on  why Australians do the work they do today, and what role if any, religious faith or spirituality plays in that motivation and output. 
 
If you decide to answer all the questions, this survey will take around 7-10 minutes. The information being gathered is confidential and non-identifiable. This survey has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Christian Research Association. If you wish to make an ethical complaint regarding the survey, you may email secretary_HREC@cra.org.au
