NCU Organizational Audit

NCU’s Communication 341 class has conducted an audit on the university in order to assess the way the members view communication within the organization. The methods for collecting data included two surveys sent out to the campus. Additionally, 15 interviews were conducted with members of the organization. The results show key information about areas of NCU that members feel are excelling in communication, as well as areas in which communication is a struggle. Some of the positive themes found included department cohesion and fulfillment; some areas of concern included trust, employee recognition, and workload.

Cognitive Dissonance on Post Consumer Purchasing

This paper will investigate cognitive dissonance on post consumer purchases. I will be measuring and trying to prove that female students are more likely to feel more cognitive dissonance after a purchase than male students. I will be using a 22 point scale measuring three different elements, which are emotions, wisdom of the purchase, and concern over the purchase. The questionnaire was placed and distributed to the NCU students at the Beacon Beanery.

The Correlation Between Religious Faith and the Need for Closure

This purpose of this study was to find the correlation between an individual’s religious faith and their need for closure. A person’s need for closure directly corresponds to their need to reduce uncertainty. People are looking for answers to their questions, which then helps them reduce their uncertainty giving them a sense of satisfaction. This is backed by the most updated research from our text Close Encounters by Guerrero, et, and other database websites. Our hypothesis states people with a high level of religious faith will be more likely to have a lower need for closure in relationships. Upon completion of this study and final data compilation you will find that our study will lean considerably towards our hypothesis.
