It aims to examine their legitimacy perceptions of different participatory arrangements. The research was conducted by means of a vignette study in which we included a representative arrangement and six participatory arrangements for which we differentiated for types of initiator (government or citizens) and three types of citizen involvement (consultative, co-decisive and decisive). We found that executives assessed government-initiated arrangements as more legitimate than citizen-initiated ones. Moreover, they perceived the co-decisive arrangement as the most legitimate.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/01925121241264314
