It examines the role of hierarchy in team collaboration, using a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_goods_game#Implications\">public-goods game<\/a> \u2014 a standard of experimental economics that assesses the individual propensity to contribute to a group, in a situation where a person could potentially benefit from freeriding on the contributions of others \u2014 and adding key variables. In one game, the group was divided into \u201cmanagers\u201d and \u201cworkers,\u201d with the managers subject to different rules than the workers, and the rules themselves varying from round to round. The results were then compared to those from a game in which there was no hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p><b>The takeaway: Giving more incentives at the top of the pyramid and more work at the bottom is dangerous.<\/b> Ultimately, the study supported the idea that, while the mere presence of managers can boost team collaboration and individual contributions, providing special incentives to managers can have an overall dampening effect on performance. Workers are less inclined to be collaborative when they feel they undertake a disproportionate amount of work and receive fewer benefits than their managers. More worryingly, the study also found the managers benefitting from their incentives in \u201csneaky\u201d ways when they had discretion over the amount they could receive from group contributions, shortchanging the workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you quantify the impact of managers on an organization\u2019s performance?
