The hidden cost of profit sharing on participation in employee stock purchase plans
Hennig, Jan Christoph; Hullmann, Rieke; Rau, Holger A.; … - 2021
Many firms use equity-based profit sharing to boost participation in employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs). Using a large panel data set (N=262,824) of a multinational firm, we compare the reactions of former ESPP participants and non-participants to a profit sharing distribution (PSD). We find...

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...
