Performance pay and work hours: US survey evidence
利用美国调查数据,发现拿绩效工资的人工作时间明显更长,这种关联在控制工人和雇主固定效应后依然存在,且主要源于行为反应而非人员筛选。
Abstract Using US survey data, we show that those on performance pay work substantially longer hours. This remains in worker fixed-effect estimates and in worker with employer fixed-effect estimates. The magnitudes confirm increased hours as a dimension of the anticipated effort response and long hours as a potential intermediary between performance pay and reduced worker health. Despite managers being the most likely to both receive performance pay and work long hours, this association largely reflects sorting and not the behavioral response evident for other workers.
