Appendix 2: Introduction & request mail to
Head-HR to participate in the AQ® study
From: Susan Tripathi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 5:03 PM To: Subject: PhD Program: Request your support for Data Collection Importance: High
Dear Mr. _______________,
Greetings!! It was a pleasure speaking with you yesterday and I thank you for your courtesies
extended in our call.
As shared with you, I am pursuing a doctorate program from Welingkar Institute of
Management Studies, Mumbai, through S.N.D.T. University. My PhD subject is “Use of
Adversity Quotient (AQ® in creating strong business leaders of tomorrow.” My
research work is aimed towards understanding AQ® factors of Indian
leaders/managers/professionals and building methodologies & processes in Human Resources
management that will help in usage of AQ® in recruitment, training & organization
development. The research work is being undertaken across the Retail, Hotel, IT, ITES and
Hospital industries, primarily the services industry.
After completing the initial desk study, I am now approaching various organizations for
sample data collection. The method employed to collect data is a simple questionnaire that
does not seek confidential information of the professional or the organization. For data
collections/interviews, I am using the AQ® Profiler (a HR Model questionnaire based
responses) created by Dr. Paul Stoltz, a USA based expert on the subject. Dr. Paul Stoltz has
also blessed my PhD Program and granted me non-commercial license to use their content.
As discussed, I am forwarding a document detailing AQ® & its significance and the AQ®
questionnaire. My sincere request is that I may be allowed to administer this questionnaire to
10 top tier/ Heads of functions from your organization (4 corporate heads - Head-HR,
Finance, Marketing & PR and Sales + 6 senior professionals from other main stream). There
are 14 real life situations given in the questionnaire which one has to respond to and the time
taken to complete each questionnaire would not be more than 10-12 minutes.
As committed, once I receive the AQ® and CORE® scores of your employees, would send the
same to you. I look forward to your help and support in this academic endeavor.
Best Regards

Dear __________________,
Thank you for sending me your response to the AQ® questionnaire. Your inputs will definitely
add value to my research. I have been able to complete the primary data collection through
the questionnaires applied on 130 top managers of 13 companies in 5 different industries.
As advised by my doctoral guide, Dr. A. K. Konar, I am now approaching all the 131
respondents to provide me with some additional variables that are required for the study. In
regards to this, I have tried calling you on the board numbers many-a-times, but have not
been able to reach you. Hence, I am sending the attached file named “Additional Variables”
which captures the additional information that is required to help in the AQ study.
Trust you would be able to send me the needed information.
