AFTER THE TOURNAMENT: OUTCOMES AND EFFORT PROVISION
通过实验室实验，研究发现锦标赛输家会减少后续努力以降低赢家收益，这符合不平等厌恶理论；而输掉随机决定锦标赛的参与者努力减少更多，但会随时间消退，且可通过岗位轮换缓解。
Outcomes of workplace competitions may themselves influence subsequent behavior—particularly if employees feel wronged. In a laboratory experiment, we find that—consistent with inequity aversion—tournament losers supply less postcompetition effort than winners when doing so reduces their tournament opponent's earnings. Consistent with procedural fairness concerns, subjects who lose arbitrarily decided tournaments that disregard tournament effort choices supply even less post‐tournament effort than other losers. While losers' effort reductions consistent with inequity aversion persist, effort reductions following arbitrarily decided tournaments fade over time. Finally, we show that effort reductions related to inequity aversion could potentially be mitigated through workplace rotations.
