| Abstract: |
This survey was sent to 2,913 employees of the Corrections Cabinet. Of these, 1,767 responded. Results show that 52 percent of all respondents are in support of testing applicants for employment, although there is some difference of opinion concerning the conditions under which the test should be administered. Fourteen percent support drug testing for anyone who is suspected of substance abuse. Nine percent are against drug testing in any form or under any circumstance, and 3 percent believe that drug testing should be on a voluntary basis for all employees. The majority of employees who responded believe that if a job applicant is positive on drug tests, he/she should not be employed. Twenty-three percent believe that the person should be hired, but be required to receive treatment as a condition of their employment. Only 7 percent believe that the applicant should be hired anyway without any specific condition for treatment. 3 tables and 7 figures |
