MSPB is soliciting suggestions from the federal workforce for topics to make the subject of a future research project into management issues facing the federal government.
In addition to deciding appeals of disciplinary and certain other personnel actions, MSPB researches and reports on topics based on a research agenda that it currently is updating.
Recent MSPB studies have addressed such topics as assessment of training and experience, employee perceptions of favoritism, settlement agreements, employee engagement, and workplace violence. Other topics it has examined include employee recruitment and selection, fair treatment, employee development, motivation and engagement, and effective management.
Suggestions should be sent to research.agenda@mspb.gov
