"In this manuscript, we propose the installation of an online access panel survey for research into the role of norms in employer-employee relations. The panel is intended to close a gap in the research infrastructure for research on social norms on the labour market. From the most pressing research questions in the field, we derive a survey design that tailors optimally to the diverse needs. We suggest an online access panel of about 11,500 respondents with semiannual panel waves. Participants are sampled from an administrative database with excellent coverage that contains information on employees and employers. This guarantees sufficient numbers of employees per establishment in order to apply multilevel analysis methods. Supervisors and newly hired employees are oversampled in order to generate sufficient case numbers. Furthermore, the access panel serves as a sampling frame for projects that require specific groups of employees (e.g. newly hired, supervisors). These projects can recruit access panel members for regular surveys, dairy studies, online lab experiments or vignette studies. In this way, the suggested new data source caters to diverse research gaps in the area of norms in employment relationships and allows for a variety of methodological approaches."
