Hi @eugene,
thanks for the feedback - I would love to share some more!
I am Joshua Hansen, and I am currently writing my Master Thesis at the IT University of Copenhagen - I have lived in Denmark the last 6 years, and I study Digital Innovation & Management and had a specialisation in service, and blockchain economics with Roman Beck, a great mentor and research leader in the field!
After reading lots of literature, we have finalised our research topic to analyze motivation for DAO Governance participation. We are only master students, so the end-scope is determined based on our time, data and resources.
We are basing the analysis of two systematic literature reviews about research in participation and motivation in Online Communities, and DAO Governance voting and behavior. We will try and use Social Exchange Theory ideas to go through our data, and both the theory, and our literature was the bases of our structured interview, which covers different Social Exchange Theory topics.
Now, we just need data, and lots of them! That is why we want to talk to any token-holder, whether you are a (un)informed lurker, delegate, core member or any other role that participates in governance processes. We will conduct structured interviews that cover around 20 questions. We know that the space likes both anonymity and efficiency, thats why we also are okay with sharing a survey-based form where we one can share their answers in a text form.
We have shared this in different discords, forums and reddits, as our focus is less what the purpose of the DAO is, but more a general overview of any DAO participants.
I hope this clears some more up! You can find my profile on LinkedIN to see I am real, and always link up with insights and ideas!
The data is collected and processed anononym, and we will not use names, direct statements or any other contact information and will be deleted after submission of the thesis in june. We are not at all interested in any journalistic efforts.
If someone is interested, you can choose to book a video call through a booking link - or I will send the forms.
