| Abstract: | This study explores the effect of incentives on decision-aided performance. Especially, further insight is provided into whether, when, and how incentives affect task performance in the presence of decision aids by 1. replicating previous research showing the negative effects of incentives on performance, 2. examining whether this effect generalizes to a more realistic scenario with decision makers having access to additional contextual information not captured by the decision aid, and 3. applying an effort-based framework to explain the link btw. performance and incentives. In contrast to the previous findings, this study shows that incentives do not necessarily decrease performance in the presence of decision aids. Rather, it is shown that the effect of incentives on decision-aided performance depends on other contextual factors. |
