Professionalism and Contracts in Organizations
研究公共机构如何监督专业人员,发现弱激励会导致机构在监督中偏向员工利益而忽视其他群体,有时甚至完全忽略其他利益。
Employees in public agencies rarely have pay for performance: instead their incentives are often guided by a sense of professionalism. This paper concerns how organizations should monitor professionals. The primary outcome of the paper is that weak incentives lead public agencies to exhibit bias in their oversight, by rewarding the interests of their employees to the detriment of other constituencies' concerns. In some instances, this bias is complete by entirely ignoring other interests.
