17 novembre - Questionnaire en ligne

Les allers-retours m'ont pris presque un mois jusqu'à ce que je sois enfin capable de poster le questionnaire en ligne et de l'envoyer en pré-test.

Maintenant, c'est fait, gràce aux efforts combinés des collègues de PPM.

Voici le courriel du pré-test

=================

Dear colleagues and friends,

you have been kind enough to accept my invitation to answer to a questionnaire in the framework of my DBA. As most of you already know (thanks to the doctoral seminars for several of you), my research focuses on e-mail, and more precisely on friendly spam.

I have defined friendly spam as unsolicited e-mail originated by "friendly" sources, e.g. by sources that can't be properly filtered by spam filters. In the professional environment, these sources include co-workers, supervisors, supervisees, partners, etc.

With this questionnaire, I am trying to evaluate how organizations answer, at the policy level, to the following questions:

1) How do organizations address the issue of the impact of the usage of electronic communications on their employees' work/life balance?
2) How do organizations manage, at a policy level, the usage of electronic communications in the professional environment.

By providing input to this questionnaire, both by answering to it on-line and by providing me with your direct feedback, you will help me finalizing the questionnaire and fine-tuning the questions. This pre-test is in my view a significant milestone in the preparation of the final questionnaire, which will be distributed early December to 500+ organizations in the ICT sector.

I am therefore already extremely thankful to all of you who have accepted to contribute to my research. I also seize this opportunity to thank (and congratulate!) the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which is hosting this on-line survey, as well as the colleagues of my team, who are contributing to this work.

The questionnaire is available at this url:

It goes without saying that your input will remain confidential.

You may note that, with a view to separating the different roles of my compound identity (!), I have created a specific e-mail account for my DBA research. Please be kind enough to use this address for all issues in relation with this questionnaire.

Once again, I thank you very much.

With my best regards,

Je vais quand même dire à Deniz qu'enseigner m'a plu !

Dear Deniz,

once again, I'd like to thank you for this fantastic opportunity to teach at Webster's! As we discussed, and as we expected, I enjoyed this exprerience very much.

I look forward to a similar opportunity in the near future, at your convenience, and depending on the evaluations provided by the students and on your own needs.

With my warmest regards,

Fernando
PS - I ended with a record number of 21 students!
