Abstract
Monetary incentives, even though apparently efficient in driving performance of workers, have drawbacks, explains BRUNO S. FREY. They can result in a reorientation of workers from their focus on quality towards merely meeting objectives. The experiment presented in this video studies the impact of replacing monetary incentives with symbolic awards. * BRUNO S. FREY is Professor at the University of Basel and research director of the Centre for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts (CREMA), Switzerland.
