Study title

“Fair: Arbeiten in Deutschland” is a web-based survey conducted by researchers from the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” at the University of Konstanz in cooperation with colleagues from the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the Research Institute of the Federal Employment Agency. The survey aims at addressing questions of inequality perceptions. As central element, the survey contains a multi-factorial survey experiment in which respondents evaluate the fairness of earnings of their fictitious co-workers as well as their potential behavioral reactions. Additional modules cover job satisfaction, the job situation, the working context (on the firm and working group level) and demographical information. The repository contains the cleaned and labelled data (DE, EN), the codebook (DE, EN) and a field report including detailed information on the survey and experimental design, sampling approach, field work and data cleaning (DE, EN).
