Seeking participants for Covid-19 related study on workplace behaviors

  • 1.  Seeking participants for Covid-19 related study on workplace behaviors

    Hello all,

    I'm conducting a study examining the effectiveness of city and organizational policies related to Covid-19 on residents' and employees' compliance behaviors and attitudes. I'm also examining the work-from-home arrangements employees are implementing, and in particular the creative ways they may be navigating work-family conflict when many non-essential employees also have their kids at home. As an HR researcher, I'm interested in several factors that may be influencing these experiences including income, industry, and amount of time the policy has been in effect.

    I write specifically to seek participants, including fellow academicians and practitioners, but I also wanted to ask fellow faculty who may be teaching students right now, if you might be willing to encourage your students to participate (criteria: over 18, work at least parttime), as well? Practitioners, I greatly value your perspective, and I wondered if you might be willing to encourage your team members to participate? I would greatly appreciate it, as I'm seeking geographic diversity among respondents; participation should take around 15-20 minutes with a reliable Internet connection.

    Please let me know if you have any questions; and I am happy to share results with anyone interested (email: nittrouerc@uhd.edu).

    Thank you, again, and I hope you and your family are staying safe, Christy
