Wichita State University participates in the Docking Institute Staff Satisfaction
Survey as part of a Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) initiative that includes all six
Regents universities. The survey measures employee satisfaction among Unclassified
Professional (UPS) and University Support Staff (USS), focusing on topics such as
morale, appreciation, compensation, workload, and workplace culture.
The university has consistently taken part in the Docking Survey on a three‑year cycle,
with documented surveys in 2019, 2022, and 2025, allowing WSU to track trends over
time and compare its results against statewide benchmarks. This consistent participation
ensures the university remains responsive to staff needs and aligned with systemwide
expectations for employee experience and workplace quality.
