I am doing a study over the next two years on job satisfaction and its psychological impact outside of work. This is a longitudinal study, so it means that we'd have to talk every 4-6 months for 2 years. I am curious if people would be willing to do this. You would be 100% anonymous and unidentifyable in any paper I write, but I would be asking a lot of personal psychological questions. I am a PhD student in psychology / organizational behavior at a top 10 school (joint program with the MBA program). The compensation would range from $50-$100 per interview - which would last about 1-2 hours.

This would be for my dissertation, by the way.

I am in the Northeast but we'd do it by phone. Then you'd just get a check a few weeks later.

I havent ironed out how I am going to find people just yet... this is actually the very first time I've asked anyone in the "real world" about my dissertation. I have to still talk to my advisor if finding people online would be "acceptable" -- i dont see why not...I think it's a great idea & if people are willing - i'll get better info than if I force myself into some organization like most businesses. so, it's good to know people are willing. i'll tell my advisor and see what she thinks on monday. i will probably have a "screening" survey - just so I can get people of varying ages and sex - and in different industries...so I have a cross section. I wouldn't want like 200 people in retail who are all 18... that wouldnt really be a great thing to base a 2 year study on!! Also, I need people who are committed to working with me over 2 years (only 5-10 hours over 2 years... but usually people drop out)... not sure that everyone is interested in this.
