[Fwd: listserv post request]

    Hello -

    I am a doctoral student in desperate need of more participants to complete a
    10-minute survey on training and training evaluation issues. It was
    suggested to me that I try asking several of the Academy of Management
    listservs to post my training survey participant request (see below for the
    survey email/link) to their message boards. Would you please consider this?



    In terms of survey participants, I am looking for full-time
    professionals/working adults from a variety of organizations. In particular,
    I am looking for executive-level participants (director-level and above) but
    need participants who are managers or individual contributors as well.



    Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need additional
    information.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration,

    Penny Palmer

    Hello -

    You are invited to participate in an online survey of training-related
    decisions, expectations, and evaluation data preferences. Under the guidance
    of Dr. Kurt Kraiger, Penny Palmer, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of
    Tulsa, is executing this research in order to collect data for her
    dissertation project.

    This survey is being conducted to understand more about how individuals in a
    variety of organizations feel about training and training evaluation. It
    only takes about 10 minutes to complete the survey!

    The online survey includes questions about the types of training investment
    decisions you make, the outcomes you expect to result from training, and the
    training evaluation criteria you would most likely use to make
    training-related decisions. In addition, you are asked to complete some
    job/demographic information so that group differences can be examined. No
    individual-level data will be released about any survey responses.

    In return for your participation, you may request a copy of the survey
    results. This report will provide information on the types of
    training-related investments, outcome expectations, and evaluation data
    preferences of a variety of training stakeholders (e.g., executives,
    managers, individual contributors). Knowing more about the various
    perspectives, interests, and needs of training's stakeholders can be useful
    in many ways. For example, providing organizational members with the type of
    training-related information that is found to be compelling can, in turn,
    facilitate more effective decision-making.

    This survey is very important - I hope you will agree to participate!
