Sažetak

Using the correlational model of multiple regression analysis,
the authors analyzed data on characteristics of the procedure
of on-field sampling, descriptors of the interviewing procedure, descriptors of interviewers, settlements where interviews were
done, and characteristics of contact and respondents. These
were analyzed as descriptors of the behavior of 139 interviewers
in the European Values Study in Croatia. Availability of
respondents as a combination of demographic and contact
characteristics was detected as the main predictor of variability
of the response rate. Another set of predictors were recognized
in the set of characteristics of interviewers’ behavior which do
not comply with the proposed rules of sampling or interviewing.
Those predictors clearly depict interviewers' utility oriented
behavior aiming at maximizing the financial effects of
engagement in fieldwork. Therefore, real economic-motivation
model of fieldwork management has to be developed in order
to prevent practice of utilitarian disobeying fieldwork rules.
Other predictors show considerably less or none of the
predictive power with regard to the response rate.
