Online surveys enable efficient and cost-effective data collection. However, this convenience is threatened by careless responding (CR), where survey participants provide inaccurate or thoughtless responses, often due to low motivation or disengagement. The presence of CR is ubiquitous across survey research, and compromises the usefulness of data by introducing statistical errors that distort findings, attenuate variable relationships, and decreases statistical power. Solutions to mitigate CR often involve removing valuable data or using impractical interventions like monitoring respondents or reading warning messages. A more sustainable approach needs to be found which CR at its root by exploring strategies that align with its theoretical basis in motivation theory. This study designed survey characteristics aimed at reducing CR based on Hackman & Oldham's (1975) Job Characteristics Model. The research also examined the impact of survey length and the moderating effect of distributive justice on the relationship between motivation and CR. Previous studies have suggested that longer surveys may decrease participant motivation, while positive evaluations of distributive fairness can sustain it. Using a 3X2X2 between-subjects experimental design, this study investigated the effects of motivational survey characteristics (present, not present), survey length (short, medium, long), and distributive fairness (high payment, low payment) on nine CR indicators. Results did not support the effectiveness of motivational survey characteristics in reducing CR. Partial support was found for the moderating effect of distributive fairness and survey length on reducing CR on some indicators. As previously observed, the results confirmed CR's association with personality characteristics. Finally, the level of compensation had varying effects on the manifestation of CR across the different indicators. Participants showed increased care and accuracy in responding to observable CR indicators when they were paid more. Conversely, participants showed more carelessness on observable CR indicators when paid less. These findings suggest that financial incentives may not effectively promote careful responses but incentivize participants to conceal their carelessness on easily detectable indicators.
