Seeking Research Participants: The Impact of Social Networks on Work-Life Choices of South Asian Women in Canada

This doctoral research study is conducted by Anju Philip, PhD Candidate from the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics at the University of Guelph.

We are seeking participants for a two-part study investigating the meaning of work-life balance to currently or previously employed South Asian women living in Canada. This study also seeks to explore the personal networks that South Asian women belong to, and to what extent these networks impact their diverse choices surrounding work and life.

▪ Do you identify as a woman of South Asian origin or ancestry?

▪ Are you at least 21 years old and a permanent resident or citizen of Canada?

▪ Are you currently working or in between jobs and actively looking for full-time or part-time employment?

If you answered “yes” to all these questions, we would like to invite you to participate in a research study conducted by the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics at the University of Guelph!

This study seeks to explore the personal networks that South Asian women belong to, and to what extent these networks impact their diverse choices surrounding work and life. You will be asked to participate in a two-part study (a short online pre-interview questionnaire and an interview).

Participation is voluntary but those who complete both parts of the study are eligible to receive a $25 Amazon gift card.
