Getting along with Colleagues – Does Profit Sharing Help or Hurt?*
利用德国数据，研究了利润分享对员工合作行为的影响，发现对非监督男性员工促进合作，但对重视成功的员工无影响，对监督者则减少合作，且存在显著的性别差异。
Summary Theory presents two channels through which profit sharing can cause workers to increase their coworkers' productivity: greater cooperation and increased peer pressure. This paper argues that these generate opposite influences on coworker relations, and that which dominates varies according to circumstances and type of worker. Using German data, we show that, for non‐supervisory men, profit sharing increases cooperation, but that for those who highly value success on the job, it has no influence on cooperation, and for supervisors it reduces cooperation. Moreover, the findings show striking gender differences in the effect of profit sharing. We contend these patterns fit with underlying theoretical expectations.
