Questions 2-4 seem OK, but question 1 is problematic. I've been conducting data analysis on questionnaire data and people can't be expected to imagine "if it were my money". It's not their money, it won't be taken from their paycheck. Basically the stakes are not real. Which in turn will create in upwards bias.
- StavrosK 11y agoThat probably doesn't matter, as long as the bias is uniform.
- mziel 11y agoYes, but what does the question actually capture? What's the incentive not to agree with that statement? Or maybe everyone puts "4" instead of 5 to hedge their bets? Don't want to deride the question without seeing someone from Deloitte expand on that, but the "as if it were own money" seems redundant at best.
- StavrosK 11y agoI don't think there's an incentive in reviewing others, apart from the general "greater good". The "own money" part is probably to get people to think a bit more honestly, rather in a "sure, why not" way. I agree that it doesn't sound very effective.
- eli 11y agoI'd be glad to give everyone a raise with someone else's money -- when there's no downside to doing so. I think the point is to remind you that there's a cost associated with that.
- mziel 11y agoBut there is no cost/downside. At least for you. What I'm arguing is that this "reminder" is not effective.
