Thesis (D.Sc.)--New Jersey City University, 2016.

An acute care physician in Massachusetts, elementary-aged children in Connecticut, high school students in Colorado, and soldiers in Texas: all are some of those who became a victim of the newest and most dangerous threat in America, the active shooter. Active shooters have no regard for their victims or the locations of their criminal acts. They have struck in schools, military bases, colleges, shopping malls, businesses, and corporations. Universities like Texas State University, police departments like New York City, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and regulatory groups like The Joint Commission have all attempted to find a viable deterrent to this threat in recent years. How do leaders in the executive suite know the perceptions of their staff members when it comes to active shooter preparedness? Do employees support the security interventions implemented by the executive suite or disregard them?

520 $a An acute care physician in Massachusetts, elementary-aged children in Connecticut, high school students in Colorado, and soldiers in Texas: all are some of those who became a victim of the newest and most dangerous threat in America, the active shooter. Active shooters have no regard for their victims or the locations of their criminal acts. They have struck in schools, military bases, colleges, shopping malls, businesses, and corporations. Universities like Texas State University, police departments like New York City, federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and regulatory groups like The Joint Commission have all attempted to find a viable deterrent to this threat in recent years. How do leaders in the executive suite know the perceptions of their staff members when it comes to active shooter preparedness? Do employees support the security interventions implemented by the executive suite or disregard them?
520 $a Surveys have been used for many years in the corporate environment to evaluate workplace perception. Employee morale surveys have been part of change management and are vital to the ongoing reorganization of the corporate environment in the United States. Properly designed and skillfully conducted surveys can reveal a vast amount of important information about employee perceptions. Management may use the survey results to make improvements in the workplace. If an employee can take a survey to identify gaps in morale, benefits, and work process, why can they not participate in a similar survey to determine gaps in security interventions within their workplace?
520 $a A review of the literature found a cycle of active shooter events from the national level to the hospital level. A review of the literature found there have been 324 active shooter incidents in the United States between 1966 and 2010. A review of the literature found that One hundred and fifty-four of these events have been in hospitals. An exhaustive review of scholarly databases found no suitable instrument to measure employee perception of security interventions, as it relates to active shooter events. A review of literature further identified two distinct areas of investment in security operations within the private security field: high-tech infrastructure, and low-tech programs. How do employees perceive these two interventions?
520 $a Based on the fact that differences exist between high-tech and low-tech security interventions, another avenue may exist to define better the pros and the cons of these interventions. In 2010 an expert in the security field, Robert Johnson stated in an article on the Argonne National Laboratory website that "Real security is thinking how bad guys would think." To train staff to think how a bad guy would think, security professionals must first understand what the employees think about safety and security in the workplace.
520 $a A survey instrument was developed to identify the perceptions of hospital employees as it relates to active shooter preparedness. This survey tool was validated by a jury of experts, revised, and pre-tested with 41 respondents in a participating hospital in New Jersey. Nine of these respondents were blind to the researcher, and the remaining 32 were known to the researcher. One hundred and twenty surveys were sent out, 60 to the blind respondent group and 60 in the non-blind respondent group for a return rate of 34% combined. The data was analyzed for internal correlation and consistency using Cronbach's alpha. The Cronbach's alpha was recorded as .88 on a consolidated data set indicating strong reliability for the 20 scaled items of the 24 total questions.
520 $a Preliminary data from the respondent surveys suggest that employees perceive low-tech security programs made them feel safer in their workplace than high-tech security infrastructure. The data also suggests that regardless of the type of security intervention, employees will rarely be altered in the perception of the workplace as safe or dangerous. This perception of safety and danger appear related to the position, age, and experience of the respondent. Future research is recommended which uses a pre-test and post-test design to correlate scientifically proven hypothesis from the preliminary data. From an ARD methodology, it would appear that employees feel safer in their workplace with low-tech security programs over high-tech security infrastructure.
