Several online review platforms offer monetary incentives to motivate individuals to write reviews and keep them engaged with the platforms. While existing studies have examined the effects of completion-contingent monetary incentives (which uniformly reward users as long as they write reviews on the platform), we know little about the effectiveness of performance-contingent monetary incentives (which reward platform users based on the quality of their reviews). In this paper, we examine the effects of receiving performance-contingent rewards on users’ continued contribution in terms of the quantity, quality, and valence of the reviews they generate. We leverage a quasi-experiment research design to analyze a large dataset that we obtain through a collaboration with a large restaurant review platform in Asia. Our evidence shows that after receiving performance-contingent rewards, individuals write more reviews and write reviews that are of better quality. Interestingly, receiving rewards does not significantly affect the valence of subsequent reviews. Our study extends past research by being one of the first to examine how receiving performance-contingent rewards affects subsequent behaviors of reviewers. Our results can also guide platform managers to design efficient and effective incentive policies. Posted online: July 7, 2021

当为评论付费时:绩效或有金钱奖励的案例

一些在线评论平台提供金钱奖励来激励个人撰写评论并让他们与平台互动。虽然现有的研究已经检验了以完成为条件的货币激励(只要用户在平台上写评论就统一奖励用户)的效果,但我们对以绩效为条件的货币激励(根据质量奖励平台用户)的有效性知之甚少。他们的评论)。在本文中,我们根据用户生成的评论的数量、质量和效价来检验接收绩效奖励对用户持续贡献的影响。我们利用准实验研究设计来分析我们通过与亚洲大型餐厅评论平台合作获得的大型数据集。我们的证据表明,在获得与绩效挂钩的奖励后,个人会撰写更多评论并撰写质量更好的评论。有趣的是,获得奖励不会显着影响后续评论的效价。我们的研究扩展了过去的研究,成为第一个研究接收绩效或有奖励如何影响评论者后续行为的研究之一。我们的研究结果还可以指导平台管理者设计高效有效的激励政策。在线发布:2021 年 7 月 7 日 我们的研究扩展了过去的研究,成为第一个研究接收绩效或有奖励如何影响评论者后续行为的研究之一。我们的研究结果还可以指导平台管理者设计高效有效的激励政策。在线发布:2021 年 7 月 7 日 我们的研究扩展了过去的研究,成为第一个研究接收绩效或有奖励如何影响评论者后续行为的研究之一。我们的研究结果还可以指导平台管理者设计高效有效的激励政策。在线发布:2021 年 7 月 7 日
