The Ministry Survey 2016

In 2016, an electronic questionnaire was sent out to case officers and managers with at least one year's service in the ministry and directorate and other central administration on features of working methods, personnel and decision processes. The study is a continuation of similar surveys in 1976, 1986, 1996 and 2006. Principal investigators are Professor Per Lægreid, University of Bergen and Rokkan Centre, professors Tom Christensen and Morten Egeberg, University of Oslo, and Professor Jarle Trondal, University of Agder. All the researchers have been central as project staff and principal investigators in the previous central administration surveys.
