Help! Student Dissertation

I am conducting research into purchase behaviour for flights for those who fly for business. I understand this is probably against the rules of this forum but I am struggling for respondents. All replies appreciated!

Thanks so much! The response so far has been incredible, and has certainly not been the same as many of my colleagues who are struggling for respondents!

Done, I wasnt sure what you wanted for this one:

What is your current level within your organisation?

Are you trying to work out someones income, how much company travel budget they control or where they place on a company hierachy? I'm one of those awkward people who have technical skills instead of people skills.

All done! Hope it helped.

Struggled with the ‘role in organisation’ question. I’m a teacher so none really applied? I have leadership roles but not overall? Also I imagine quite a few are self employed so that might cause an issue.

otherwise, great questions and when done (good luck!) I hope you share the results! :-)

I’m looking to discuss to what extent FFP membership positively affects the purchase of business flights, And why it does so. My own experience from working in an SME was that the soft benefits gained from status (from business travel) lead to people choosing to fly that airline during their leisure time for lounge access, priority boarding etc. Most of the current literature about airline loyalty and FFPs looks at the leisure market so I thought there was a hole this could fill.

I realise the demographic questions are somewhat limited but I followed my supervisors recommendations. And she’s the first marker so it seemed prudent to do so! Aside from that there’s about 5,000 words allocated to our discussion of the results.

Done! It’s an interesting topic, and OP if you need further input please get in touch by PM - happy to help. I did my undergrad dissertation on a similar topic, so may be able to help somehow

was just about to say, typically in studies like this don’t the Principle Investigators go and buy a panel from Qualtrics or something?
