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...
