Letter of Solicitation for Research Study Participants

Dear Prospective Participant,

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Phoenix in the College of Doctoral Studies in the Industrial/Organizational Psychology Program. I am seeking participants for a study to identify consensus of experts on forward-looking strategies for modifying performance appraisals for aging employees. To serve on the panel, one should have either 5-10 years’ experience in conducting employee appraisals or be an employee nearing retirement age (55+), or a member of management. The surveys will take place online via SurveyMonkey.

Participation will involve completing 3-4 separate surveys over about 4 months; total involvement is about 2 hours. The first questionnaire should take 45-60 minutes. The subsequent two rounds should take 20-30 minutes each to complete. If a fourth round is necessary, it should take 20 minutes.

You can access more information about the study and the first survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W3R7336. If you have any questions, please contact me. Kenneth Jenkins either by email at kjenkins09@email.phoenix.edu or by telephone at 804-896-2162.
