Hello everyone,

As part of my MSc Dissertation project at Warwick Business School in UK, I’m conducting a survey that deals with users’ experiences of participation in professional virtual communities, of which Spiceworks is perfect example

I would be great if you could help me and participate by clicking on the link below. The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to answer. All responses will be kept strictly confidential (used only for the purposes of my dissertation). Everyone who participates will have the option to enter into a draw for five £20 (or $30) Amazon vouchers.

Click here to start the survey:

I greatly appreciate your help. My degree depends on this survey! If you would like to know the results of my work, please email me and I will send you the results in September.

Best regards,

Nikita Kursov

I will be more than happy to post the findings right here, although this will only happen at the end of August.

@akp982: thanks for the tip, but my email address is already quite public due to the survey, so it's not an issue)

Many thanks to everyone who took the survey, your help is much appreciated.

Needless to say, I will share all of my findings with the community, but I still need more participants for the results to have any weight, so more responses would be fantastic!

Hi everyone, just a quick update:

Firstly, I'd like to thank the 34 Spiceworks members who participated in the survey so far.

Secondly, I plan to close the survey on 20/08/10, soon after which I'll be able to share my results in this thread.

Of course, your results will be skewed by a small percentage of active people in the watercooler being the participants and not a general cross-sampling of the community.

Firstly, thanks for taking the survey and secondly, I do agree with your point - admittedly this is a limitation often inherent in quantitative online studies that rely on the kindness of strangers and sometimes fail to capture the views of the less-active participants. 

On the positive side, however, I should still have substantial data to make valid conclusions, moreover such limitations are acceptable in the academic world so long as the researchers account for any potential skewness in data analysis and the write-up.
