从经验上看,尽管金钱激励很弱,但薪酬制度能产生很大的努力。我们认为互惠动机是激励的来源。我们解决了基本的委托代理问题的最优合同,互惠动机和明确的绩效工资是替代品。企业内生地决定两种激励来源的组合,以最好地诱导代理人的努力。分析模型的扩展版本,使我们能够研究组织结构如何影响互惠的有效性,并得出具体的经验预测。我们使用UK-WERS工作场所的薪酬数据集,以确认我们的扩展模型的预测。
Empirically, compensation systems generate substantial effort despite weak monetary incentives. We consider reciprocal motivations as a source of incentives. We solve for the optimal contract in the basic principal-agent problem and show that reciprocal motivations and explicit performance-based pay are substitutes. A firm endogenously determines the mix of the two sources of incentives to best induce effort from the agent. Analyzing extended versions of the model allows us to examine how organizational structure impacts the effectiveness of reciprocity and to derive specific empirical predictions. We use the UK-WERS workplace compensation data set to confirm the predictions of our extended model.
