Declarations

:

: Earlier versions of this study were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM 2024).

: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.

: The data was collected in Germany. In Germany, approval by an ethics committee is only necessary if medical or physiological information about the participants are collected or when participants are treated in a way that may harm their health. As we did not use such kind of data or apply such kind of treatment in our study, we did not need to get approval from the ethics committee.Nevertheless, we closely followed the guidelines for the treatment of human subjects of the German Psychological Association (DGPs, 2016), and this study was conducted in accordance with the model code of ethics of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA, 2015) and of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2016). That is, we informed participants about purpose, duration, and procedures of the study and about the confidentiality of all the data that were collected. Furthermore, participants were informed that they could always withdraw from the study without any disadvantages, about incentives of participation, and whom they could contact about questions. After participants had received this information, they agreed to participate in our study and also that data from them was collected, stored, and analyzed for our research.

: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
