      Steiner, Jeffrey; Amabile, Teresa (Elsevier BV, 2022-07)

      Gilchrist, Duncan Sheppard; Luca, Michael; Malhotra, Deepak (2016-09-01)
      Do higher wages elicit reciprocity and hence higher effort? In a field experiment with 266 employees, we find that paying above-market wages, per se, does not have an effect on effort relative to paying market wages. ...

      Bohnet, Iris; Van Geen, Alexandra Vivien; Bazerman, Max H. (INFORMS, 2012)
