  1. Hello! I am doing my Ph.D. dissertation on virtual workers and leadership of them and their preferences. Would you be willing to participate in an online survey in a couple of months? I would be more than happy to share additional information with you.

    Might you know others, as I am having a hard time finding particinpant organizations and my committee chair has suggested going with smaller organizations or companies.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration.
