| Abstract: | The authors develop a model of shirking and technology choice and show that organizations exercising less effective direct control over shirking adobt technologies that underutilize the workforce to a greater degree relative to neoclassical counterparts in order to control shirking indirectly. Thus technical inefficiency arises endogenously as a rational response to allocative inefficiency caused by shirking. |
