对公共和非营利部门以及从事企业慈善事业或其他企业社会责任政策的公司的工人来说，为社会事业做出贡献可能是一个重要的推动力。本文比较了一个社会激励的有效性，采取捐赠的形式收到的慈善机构的主题的选择，以财政激励。我们发现，社会激励导致生产力提高13%，无论其形式是一次性的还是与绩效或实力有关的。对于初始生产率低30%的受试者，反应强烈，而高生产率受试者则没有反应。当受试者可以选择混合激励时，一半的人牺牲了他们的一些私人补偿来增加社会补偿，女性比男性更有可能这样做。此外，在选择自己的支付方案时给予受试者一些自由裁量权，会导致业绩的大幅改善。将社会激励措施与对低生产率主体同样昂贵的私人补偿增加进行比较，可以发现前者在提高生产率方面效果较差，但差异很小，在统计学上也不显著。数据作为补充材料可在http://dx.doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2014.1985上查阅。这篇论文被行为经济学的Uri Gneezy接受。
Contributing to a social cause can be an important driver for workers in the public and nonprofit sectors as well as in firms that engage in corporate philanthropy or other corporate social responsibility policies. This paper compares the effectiveness of a social incentive that takes the form of a donation received by a charity of the subject's choice to a financial incentive. We find that social incentives lead to a 13% rise in productivity, regardless of their form lump sum or related to performance or strength. The response is strong for subjects with low initial productivity 30%, whereas high-productivity subjects do not respond. When subjects can choose the mix of incentives, half sacrifice some of their private compensation to increase social compensation, with women more likely to do so than men. Furthermore, offering subjects some discretion in choosing their own payment schemes leads to a substantial improvement in performance. Comparing social incentives to equally costly increases in private compensation for low-productivity subjects reveals that the former are less effective in increasing productivity, but the difference is small and not statistically significant.
