Transparency and incentives among peers
研究组织内同行间的透明度如何影响委托人的激励成本,发现互补性下透明度降低激励成本,且流程型团队比职能型团队更有效。
This article studies the effect of transparency among peers on the principal's cost of providing incentives. Using directed graphs to represent peer information, we show that under complementarity the cost of providing incentives is decreasing with the level of transparency within the organization. We also investigate the role of the architecture of the information in boosting incentives. In arguing that substitution impedes the benefits of transparency, we will compare function-based teams with process-based teams, showing that the latter are more effective in providing incentives.
