Methodological Considerations

To test the hypotheses and investigate whether participative safety has an effect on turnover intention among public employees in Germany and whether age plays a role in this context, I draw on quantitative secondary data. More specifically, I analyze survey data that has previously been collected for research purposes via an independent fieldwork agency by the Chair of Public and Nonprofit Management at the University of Potsdam. The survey was designed within the broader field of employer attractiveness research in the public sector in Germany and therefore aligns with the aforementioned research objective; it is thus suitable for further analysis within the framework of this project.
