With the LPP, the IAB provides a unique data product for personnel economic research in Germany. The simultaneous observation of employer and employee perspective allows both cross and longitudinal analyses of the relationship between HR management, individual job quality and firm performance. The following central questions can be answered on the basis of the data: Which HR management instruments are used by establishments? Are there differences in the heterogeneity of application, for instance with respect to establishment size classes or sectors? How do HR management strategies develop over time? Is there an impact of certain HR management strategies on firm performance? Is there an impact of certain HR management strategies on employees’ attitudes, satisfaction, health status, commitment etc.? What changes occured during the Corona pandemic and with the introduction of new technologies? In addition, the linkage of the surveys with the IAB Establishment Panel offers further analytic potential.
Corona Special Survey: At the beginning of the Corona pandemic, a special corona online survey was conducted among a subset of the employees who participated in wave 4. The resulting data from three survey waves during 2020 are available as a supplementary module to the LPP data product upon request.
For detailed information on the IAB Establishment Panel please refer to the Establishment Panel web sites of the department 'Establishments and Employment' as well as to the related FDZ web site.
