Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a master’s student in the Graduate School of Technology Management at the University of Pretoria. My research, titled A Proposed Theoretical Framework for Equality and Industry 5.0, focuses on how technological transformation can contribute to equality, sustainability, and inclusive development in South Africa.

The aim of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges of Industry 5.0, and to propose a framework that highlights their impact on society. The purpose of this questionnaire is to gather your views and experiences on these issues.

Your participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without penalty. Your privacy will always be protected, and all responses will remain confidential. I will not analyze any data individually — all responses will be grouped and analyzed together. This means you are assured of anonymity.

Question Title

* 1. By selecting the "Yes" option, I confirm that:
  • I am 18 years or older.
  • I voluntarily agree to participate in this anonymous survey.
  • I understand that I can withdraw at any time during the survey without any penalty.
  • The information provided will be handled confidentially, and results will be used only for academic purposes.
