Win Prizes by Taking Part in Study
My name is Jim Grant and I am a doctoral candidate at Saint Mary's University (SMU) in Halifax as well as an assistant professor of human resource management at Nipissing University. As part of my doctoral thesis, I am conducting research on employee dismissal and performance management in Canada under the supervision of Dr. Terry Wagar, also of SMU.

My study involves the management of employee performance and discipline for poor performance from the human resource practitioner’s perspective. The results of this study will be of interest to the legal community, HR practitioners, and managers of all types. In addition, confidentiality is assured and our methods have been approved by the SMU research ethics board. The survey can be completed on-line and has typically taken about 20 minutes.

The link to the survey and additional explanation:

For participation, you will be entered in a draw for several small gifts which will take place at the completion of the study. At that time, you may access the results of the study at:
