Secondary Outcomes (end points)
We elicit reasons of and perceived consequences for respondents’ decision to allow further training. These questions allow us to study channels through which the treatment variation affects decisions to allow further training. In particular, we elicit agreement to statements regarding the expected consequences of the proposed further training, such as increased job satisfaction and productivity of the employee, both at the respondent’s own company as well as at another company, and increased likelihood of the employee to move to another company. Besides, we ask about agreement with the statement that the proposed further training is good for the respondent’s company overall. We also ask to what extent the respondent agrees with the statement that there are no financial or human resources to make the further training possible.
We also would like to study treatment-effect heterogeneities by companies (i) industry, (ii) employment structure, (iii) size and (iv) past further-training activities.
