| Abstract: | This study estimates employees' response to the introduction of a group incentive plan, using monthly, individual-level data collected from two units within a large U. S. financial corporation. The incentive plan caused performance to converge to a standard: the initially least productive workers improved greatly, whereas the performance of the initially most productive workers didn't change. The incentive plan was successful in increasing the average level of productivity across the work group. |
