Hi there,

I got to your site via E2 - I am a psychology researcher interested in looking at the job attitudes of IT professionals, and theorise (after a brief tour of the site) that you may have more than the average number of these amongst your target user group.

I am trying to find ways to recuit subjects to complete a web-based questionnaire on job attiudes (satisifaction with your job, your organisation, your career, etc) beginning in about July, and I was wondering whether it would be appropriate to post a request for interested people to one of the sections on your website.

Could you please let me know whether this would be appropriate or not (as I really don't want to offend anyone, or waste your time). My email is JobAttitudesIT@hotmail.com, and I am happy to provide you with more information if that would help you make a decision, or answer any questions you might have. The aim of my study is to discover what IT professionals need to be satisifed at work, so hopefully the results of this study will bring something good to everyone who participates, when it is completed.

If you have any suggestions about more appropriate places to attempt to recruit subjects, please let me know.

Thanks for your time,

Ms. Jordan Roberts.
