Survey_Perceived training opportunities and work effort

The respondents were randomly assigned either one of the sets of the questionnaire. They were first asked to respond to items related to intrinsic motivation and work effort (pre-test). Once they completed this section, the instructions guided them to move on to read the assigned vignette (high/low training opportunity). Subsequently, they were asked to assume that they were now working in the specified hypothetical organization (Company A/Company B) and proceed to answer questions related to perceived training opportunity (manipulation check items) and work effort (post-test). Finally, they were requested to provide the required demographic information.A total of 208 respondents (104 for vignette A and 104 for vignette B) participated in this study.
