Sabotage in tournaments: evidence from a laboratory experiment
Harbring, Christine; Irlenbusch, Bernd - 2009
Although relative performance schemes are pervasive in organizations reliable empirical data on induced sabotage behavior is almost non-existent. We study sabotage in tournaments in a controlled laboratory experiment and are able to confirm one of the key insights from theory: effort and...

Information and competition entry
Ewers, Mara - 2012
This paper studies the influence of information on entry choices in a competition with a controlled laboratory experiment. We investigate whether information provision attracts mainly high productivity individuals and reduces competition failure, where competition failure occurs when a subject...

The Effect of Self-Awareness and Competition on Dishonesty
Çıbık, Ceren Bengü; Sgroi, Daniel - 2021
We provide the first investigation of the relationship between self-awareness and dis- honesty in a multi-wave pre-registered experiment with 1,260 subjects. In the first wave we vary the level of awareness of subjects' past dishonesty and explore the impact on behaviour in tasks that include...

Incentives in Tournaments with Endogenous Prize Selection
Harbring, Christine; Irlenbusch, Bernd - 2004
Tournament incentive schemes offer payments dependent on relative performance and thereby are intended to motivate agents to exert productive effort. Unfortunately, however, an agent may also be tempted to destroy the production of his competitors in order to improve the own relative position....

Reciprocity and Payment Schemes: When Equality Is Unfair
Abeler, Johannes; Altmann, Steffen; Kube, Sebastian; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
A growing literature stresses the importance of reciprocity, especially for employment relations. In this paper, we … study the interaction of different payment modes with reciprocity. In particular, we analyze how equal wages affect … rather driven by the fact that reciprocity is violated far more frequently in the equal wage treatment. Agents suffering from …
