Dear Participant
I am a doctoral student of Indian Institute of Management Calcutta with specialization in Management Information Systems. I am carrying out a study on the determinants of participants’ involvement in group projects (could be academic / social / organizational project) . The final objective is to come up with a model that is able to highlight specific project attributes which promote project participation, and thereby contribute towards successful completion of the project.
For the purpose of investigation, this survey questionnaire has been developed. It is divided into three sections. The first section deals with demographic information. The second section contains questions about participants’ experience in a group project. The third section attempts to collect your overall opinion about group project participation.
This survey is targeted at people who have participated in a group project. The participation could have been driven by the specific role that participants’ served in this project, for providing inputs/suggestions/feedback to the project group, for checking the project status, or because of general curiosity.
So if you have participated in any group project, the survey is for you! Please allow us some of your precious time and kindly fill up the questionnaire which will take approximately 15 minutes. Your response and participation are very important for the successful completion of this research endeavor.
If you are interested in the results of our study, please leave your name and email at the top of the questionnaire. We will ensure full confidentiality of the information that you provide to us in the survey. If you have any questions please feel free to mail at [email protected]
Thanking you in advance!
Best Regards
Rahul Thakurta
