Hello coworkers! A few weeks ago, I sent out information about the opportunity to be part of our study of coworking spaces. I am a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan who is leading a study on understanding the relationship between coworking and thriving at work. My colleagues and I are looking to connect with coworking community owners/managers who would be willing to help us facilitate the distribution of a survey to their members. We are respectful of people's time and understand that coworking communities frequently receive requests for participation in other surveys. Our goal is noncommercial and, instead, is aimed at building an awareness and understanding of the broader coworking movement within our field of management and organizational studies. In short, we want to help promote the coworking movement by building a long-term understanding of the underlying social mechanisms that enable people to thrive because of it. We would like to post an introduction to our study and an invitation for participation to your community through this forum.
To learn more about the study or to take the survey, please see this website: http://sitemaker.umich.edu/coworking_survey/home I am pleased to report the three coworking spaces have already met the goal of 10 responses from their members. Thus, they will soon enjoy a treat on us in the coming weeks ($75 worth of bagels or pizza for your members). Sign up now and your space can also receive a treat! We are excited to learn from you!
