RESEARCH STUDY: What keeps this community running?

Post by DonBMo
Why do people use Waze? Because of the navigation system, the gamification features or the strong community? We are an international team of researchers from Finland and Germany trying to identify the factors, which motivate people to use Waze and to participate in this community.

This information will help to understand how this community can continuously gain new members and to keep them engaged.

Please start the survey here: http://www.unipark.de/uc/waze/?a=5

Information gathered in this survey will be kept completely anonymous. The survey should take about 10-15 minutes.

After completion of the study we will share our results with you.

Dr. Juho Hamari (University of Tampere)
Dr. Wael Soliman (University of Jyväskylä)
Benedikt Morschheuser (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

If you are interested in our research you can have a look at our publications:

The latest update is that the PIs were unable to get a sufficient number of participants to accurately form the result set they wanted.

I believe they are still collecting responses if you know of anyone who might want to participate.

Hey together,

yes we still collecting data.
Currently we have around 20 participants. That's enough to say that the majority of our constructs work very well, but we need to find around 80 more participants to be able to identify correlations.
So if you are interested, please share this survey among your peers.
Thanks a lot.

Wow! We have 59 participants now.
100 or more would be great in order to calculate correlations.

Perhaps there would be a larger response if this was posted in the Country forums? (I'm not sure if that's appropriate or not...) I suspect there would be a greater number of responses though.
