We study how help can be fostered by means of a team bonus in the presence of rank-order tournaments. In a simple model … we combine elements of relative rewards and a team bonus and study their effect on effort, help and sabotage. Quite … intuitively the theoretical analysis suggests that team members help less as relative rewards increase. This problem is mitigated …

We study theoretically and experimentally the role of fatigue and recovery within a competitive work environment. At work, agents usually make their effort choice in response to competition and monetary incentives. At the same time, they have to take into account fatigue, which accumulates over...
