There is little research into the work-life balance of people who work from home. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence how people who work from home manage their work-life balance. I am seeking adults aged 18 or over who work from home (part-time, full-time or some of the time) to take part.
This survey consists of a set of questions about working from home, your preferences, and some demographic questions. It should take around 15 minutes to complete.
Who is doing this research?
This research is being carried out through Loughborough University by Hannah Evans, a PhD student, working with Dr Donald Hislop and Dr Raymond Randall.
Will my taking part in this study be kept confidential?
Your participation in this study is anonymous and the information you share will be kept confidential and stored securely. It will only be available to the research team: Hannah Evans, Donald Hislop and Raymond Randall. If the research is published in a scientific journal, all respondents data will remain anonymous.
Once I take part, can I change my mind?
Once you have started the survey, you can leave it at any time before completion, and your data will be automatically withdrawn. If you would like to withdraw after completion, please contact the main investigator Hannah Evans at [email protected] before 31st August 2014, stating the time and date you completed the survey.
