The survey was administered through Survey Monkey, an online survey hosting
company. According to Survey Monkey, there were 729 members comprised of campus
administrators, principals, and assistant principals who meet the criteria of this study.
Survey Monkey (1999-2013) revealed that “there are nearly one million members who
have signed up to take surveys and thousands of members join each day” (para.1). The
researcher heard various conversations regarding the ethical behaviors of administrators
in the independent school district in a southwestern state. Since those conversations did
not include any data to support the perception, the researcher proceeded to research on it.
To use the administrators of the independent school district as participants in the study,
the researcher sent email to campus administrators, administrative personals requesting
participation with the link to the survey in the body of the email.
