About this table

DescriptionPaired conjoint on prioritizing accountability demands: 1,201 civil servants (600 UK Prolific, July 2019; 601 Dutch executive-agency staff, October 2019) chose in up to 4 tasks which of two stakeholders' demands to perform first; stakeholders varied expertise, type and likelihood of consequences for non-compliance, and previous experience. Outcome is a forced choice.

Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead.

Outcomes:

choiceTwo stakeholders have communicated demands to your organization. You have been asked to perform tasks to respond to both demands, however, you can only do one at a time, so you must decide which one to perform first. Which stakeholder's demand would you prioritize? [choice, forced]
