| Abstract: | This paper studies the dynamics of work group whose members value not only compensation, but also having a high status relative to their peers. Compensation takes the form of a fixed salary plus a bonus based on group performance. Status is determined both by contributing to group output and by non-productive, social activities which is called "politics". Group members allocate their time btw. working and non-productive status enhancement, trying to maximize the combined utility from compensation and status rank. It is shown among others that status competition based on merit can push group members to work hard. |
