Dear Prospective Participant:
I am a doctoral candidate working under the direction of Dr. Kecia M.
Thomas in the Department of Psychology at the University of Georgia. I
invite you to participate in a research study which focuses on workplace
experiences of employees in management positions. The purpose of the
current study is to learn more about how various workplace factors affect
these individual’s work attitudes and perceptions, especially those in
regards to organizational diversity climate, efficacy and turnover
intentions. The survey link is

PLEASE REMEMBER TO FORWARD- This study is utilizing a snowball methodolgy
and benefits greatly from you forwarding this email to others who might
be able to respond as well.
You have been selected to participate in this study because you have been
identified as a professional who works in a managerial/supervisory
position. For the purpose of this study, a professional in a management
position is defined as anyone who works full-time and is paid on a yearly,
not hourly, salary, who has a job title or position of supervisor or
manager or is in a position where they current have supervisory experience
or budget accountability. College professors and administrators do
qualify. A college degree is not required.
If you do not meet the professional and managerial/supervisory criterion,
please disregard this request; however, please forward this survey on to
others that you know who would meet these conditions.
If you do meet the criteria, we ask that you take 15-30 minutes to
complete our survey at
http://tinyurl.com/workplacestudy
or
https://ugapsych.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cSbiAe05DXdE3CA
and ask that you forward this survey to others!!. Participation in our
study, and learning the results of it, will be one way that we can
understand the work experiences and some of the challenges that may
influence the turnover intentions and perceived self efficacy of managers
and supervisors. It can also help us develop and support organizational
practices that improve the work lives of these individuals.
By completing the web survey, you are making this important project
possible.
Sincerely,
Bryan L. Dawson, M.S. Kecia M. Thomas, Ph.D.
