Güven ve sorumluluğun performans üzerindeki etkisi: Deneysel çalışma

This study explores the impact of (1) being responsible for the employer's payoff, and (2) being intentionally trusted by the employer, as two types of non-monetary incentives on the employee's performance. We design and implement a laboratory experiment where employers' payoffs are sometimes dependent on their agent's performance and sometimes not. Depending on treatment, the link between the employer's payoff and employee's performance is either randomly determined by the computer, or intentionally by the employer. Our main finding is that being responsible for the employer's payoff significantly increases the employees? performance. Breaking this down by gender, we find that the effect comes mainly from women. Whether responsibility is intentional or not affects employees? performance dependently on gender. Keywords: Non-monetary incentives, performance, reciprocity, responsibility, intentional trust.
