Categories, Counts, and Proportions : Alternative Results in Measuring Team Functional Diversity

Birnbaum-More, Philip H.; Park, Michael; Im, Il - 2007

Previous research on functional diversity in teams has produced conflicting findings. Most research since 1992 has used counts of the number of different functions or one of two measures that apply different weights to the proportion of individuals within each functional category. Scholars have...

Boosting the Effect of Peer Recognition on Cooperation? Experimental Evidence on a Workplace Intervention

Echeverry, David; Polania-Reyes, Sandra - 2023

This paper documents a field experiment on how peer recognition affects cooperation in the workplace. Using an online public goods game in a large financial corporation in Colombia, we show that both public and private recognition have a significant within-subjects effect on employee voluntary...

Effort and Comparison Income : Survey and Experimental Evidence

Clark, Andrew; Masclet, Davis; Villeval, Marie-Claire - Groupe d'Analyse et de Théorie Économique Lyon … - 2006

This paper combines ISSP survey data and experimental evidence from a gift-exchange game to determine the effect of status or relative income on work effort. We find a strong effect of others’ incomes on individual effort decisions in both datasets. The individual’s rank in the income...

Even though decision-making in small teams is pervasive in business and in private life, little is known about subjects' preferences with respect to individual and team decision-making and about the consequences of respecting these preferences. We report the results from an experimental...

Clark, Andrew E.; Masclet, David; Villeval, Marie-Claire - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2008

This paper considers the effect of status or relative income on work effort, combining experimental evidence from a gift-exchange game with the analysis of multi-country ISSP survey data. We find a consistent negative effect of others’ incomes on individual effort in both datasets. The...

Heterogeneous treatment effects in groups

Riener, Gerhard; Wiederhold, Simon - In: Economics Letters 120 (2013) 3, pp. 408-412

We show in a laboratory experiment that the same method of group induction carries different behavioral consequences. These heterogeneous treatment effects can be directly related to the quality of the relationship established between the subjects. Our results indicate the importance of...
