We study several solutions to shirking in teams, each of which triggers social incentives by reshaping the workplace social context. Using an experimental design, we manipulate social pressure at work by varying the type of workplace monitoring and the extent to which employees are allowed to engage in social interaction. This design allows us to assess the effectiveness as well as the appeal of each solution. Despite similar effectiveness in boosting productivity, only organizational systems involving social interaction (via chat) were comparably appealing to a baseline treatment. This suggests that solutions involving social interaction are more likely to be effective in the long‐run than solutions involving monitoring alone.

利用社会激励的力量来遏制团队中的逃避

我们研究了团队逃避的几种解决方案，每种解决方案都通过重塑工作场所的社会环境来激发社会动机。通过实验设计，我们通过改变工作场所监控的类型以及允许员工进行社交互动的程度来控制工作中的社会压力。这种设计使我们能够评估每个解决方案的有效性和吸引力。尽管在提高生产力方面具有类似的效果，但只有涉及社交互动（通过聊天）的组织系统才吸引基线处理。这表明，从长远来看，涉及社交互动的解决方案比仅涉及监控的解决方案更有效。
