Design:

• Cross-sectional online survey in 5 countries - Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, UK
• Recruitment of participants via the panel company Ipsos
• Length of questionnaire ca. 10 minutes (median)

Participants:

• Employees from Germany (781 participants), Italy (877 participants), Lithuania (264 participants), the Netherlands (796 participants), the United Kingdom (673 participants).
• Employees from the mobility, housing/building, and manufacturing sectors could participate. The latter did not answer questions about consumers' values, beliefs, and preferences.

This dataset content consists of 4 parts:

1. Questions regarding perceptions of different societal actors, i.e. government, businesses, consumers, employees, and their role in advancing circularity
2. Questions regarding perceptions of consumers: their values, beliefs, and willingness to engage in circular behaviours in mobility and housing
3. Questions regarding employees perceptions of their organisation and their behaviours at work to advance circularity
4. Questions regarding employees overall behaviours to advance circularity, e.g. by trying to influence the government, or other citizens, and related beliefs

The two datsets uploaded have the numerical values, e.g. 1-5 for the countries, and the labels for each, e.g. the country names.

The uploaded Excel includes all variables with the exact phrasing and naming in the dataset, the scales for each variable, and the 5 language versions.
