Abstract: "The German Management and Organizational Practices (GMOP) is the first large-scale survey that systematically investigates the use of management practices in German establishments. The data includes information on over 1,900 establishments for the years 2008 and 2013 and allows detailed analyses on the relationship between management practices and firm performance. Linked with administrative individual and establishment data, the GMOP can be used by external researches. Providing an overview of the survey and data quality, this paper is a point of reference for analyses based on the GMOP. We describe the questionnaire design and important steps of the field phase. Further, data quality issues with a special focus on sample selection, response rates and representativeness are discussed. As informed consent to linkage is legally required in Germany, we additionally analyze which respondents are most likely to consent." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
