Sparrow and Nyfoudi research projects - Group B

Hello.

You are invited to participate in our two research studies.

The first study concerns e-coaching. In this study, you will be asked to write down responses to some questions that might typically be asked by a human coach, but which are given here as typed questions on the screen. It will take approximately fifteen minutes to complete this study.

The second study concerns the relationship between self belief and being entrepreneurial in the workplace. In this study you will be asked to make some assessments of yourself. It will take approximately ten minutes to complete this study.

Your participation in the two studies is completely voluntary.

There are no foreseeable risks associated with the two studies. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the research at any point.

Your responses will be strictly confidential and data from these research studies will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the studies or the procedures, you may contact Professor John Sparrow at 07973715827 or by email at [email protected].
