Dear Colleagues,
As a member of your development-centered ListServ, I am soliciting your help in validating the design of cognitive development research. I will appreciate if you will take this survey (under 10-15 minutes) and, thereby, ensure the strongest instrument for the research.
It is a simple questionnaire. I encourage you to take it! I also ask that if you have colleagues that may be interested that you pass it on to them, as well.
If you are interested, please read on...
The cognitive development research introduced here (survey links listed below) is my doctoral dissertation research. This study centers on executive development, specifically to understand complex reasoning and how it develops. I hope, first, to further our understanding of the way that the executive reasons about problems and, thereby, facilitate the discussion among members of our profession. Second, you may develop greater personal awareness of stage-like executive development as a result of your participation in this research. Third, this research may shed a practical light on development issues that many organizations face.
The research instrument that I am using is a questionnaire. It centers on a theorized assignment preparation interaction between an executive and their subordinate.
I value your participation and thank you for your commitment of time, energy, and effort. Your responses will be considered as anonymous and confidential. If you have any questions about any aspect of this study or your involvement, I can be reached at my home telephone number (919) 676-8660, on my mobile (919) 522-5448, or via email at AIOEresearch@aol.com.
Respectfully,
Richard L. McElroy, Ph.D. (Candidate)
