Study Description

Abstract

The Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators (NFP) is an internet-based survey of public administrators. The study deals with matters that are important to society, public administration and democracy. The panel is initiated and run by researchers from the leading reseach universities and institutions in Norway and is a non-profit project that aims to serve research goals. The Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators seeks to contribute in a dialogue between research, politics and socitey.

The Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators is part of the Digital Social Science Core Facility (DIGSSCORE) at the University of Bergen (UiB). The Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators is also affiliated with the Norwegian citizen Panel, the Norwegian Journalist Panel, and the Panel of Elected Representatives. The University of Bergen is the owner and treatment manager of the The Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators. Ideas2Evidence executes the practical implementation of the survey, and are responsible for recruting participants, as well as sending and receiving surveys to and from respondents. The data is stored encrypted and secure in UiB’s infrastructure for for safe processing of sensitive personal data in research, ‘SAFE’. The panel has been reported to and processed by the Data Protection Official for Research at Sikt - Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research. More information can be found at uib.no/en/nfp.

Scope

Geographic coverage: National.
Unit of analysis: Central government employees.
Universe: All employees of the central government.

Methodology

Sampling procedure

All employees of the central government - ministries, directorates and supervisory authorities - are invited to participate in the Norwegian Panel of Public Administrators. Contact information has been collected through “Depkatalog” or the website of the individual directorate or supervisory authority, or contact lists delivered by the individual directorates or supervisory authorities.

As of this fourth wave of NFP, only employees of the central government have been recruited. The long term goal is to recruit public administrators from all levels of public administration.

Due to some over-coverage during the recruitment process, there are N = 37 respondents who have been excluded after the field period, as they did not belong to the defined target population, that is, not working in public administration in the central government (ministries, directorates, and supervisory authorities). We therefore recommend excluding these respondents when conducting analyses. This can be done using the variable f4_tvcpa. For more information on the exclusion process and exclusion criteria, please consult the documentation report.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on an online questionnaire where the panel members are invited by email. Panel members were recuited to the panel in wave 1, 2 3, and 4.

For a more detailed description on recruitment of panel members, please see the documentation report.

Wave 4 was fielded from 13th of November 2023 to the 5th of December 2023.
