Performance pay, working hours, and health‐related absenteeism
利用英国2004-2011年工人-企业匹配面板数据，发现绩效薪酬比例增加会延长工作时间（每周35-39小时），但超过40小时则无此效应；长工时与健康问题无关，却与健康相关缺勤正相关，暗示绩效薪酬的生产力提升被加班导致的缺勤所抵消。
Abstract Analysis of broad, U.K. worker‐establishment matched panel data from 2004 to 2011 reveals that working hours increase with the fraction of an establishment's workers receiving performance‐based pay, if the cutoff for “long weekly hours” is from 35 to 39, but not beyond a sharp discontinuity at 40. Long hours are found to be unrelated to various workplace health problems but positively related to health‐related absenteeism. Combined with complementary research on hours and productivity, the results suggest that the well‐known productivity enhancements from performance pay are dampened by exhaustion‐induced absenteeism stemming from additional working hours and higher per‐hour work intensity.
