This study presents a theoretical and experimental investigation into the effects of competition and team incentives on dishonest behavior. We develop a singleagent decision model that incorporates loss aversion and a lying cost to examine the impact of these incentives. Our theoretical analysis...

The goal of this study is to examine the impact of follower’s conflict behavior (FCB) on work engagement (WE), as well as how transformational leadership (TL), leader-member exchange (LMX) and team member exchange (TMX) govern the link between dimensions of FCB problem-solving behavior (PSB),...

This study analyses how servant leadership influences group member performance and their well-being. For this, we projected a conceptual framework to incorporate the moderating effect of leader-member dyadic politeness of exchange and pragmatic politeness and the mediating effect of objective...

Different patterns of leadership were previously established empirically, however, many of them were conceptually interrelated and pursued simultaneously, while their overall effect remained poorly understood. We proposed a theoretical framework by combining (F. O. Walumbwa &Schaubroeck, 2009)...

This study examines dishonesty in two-person groups in which social comparison is possible. We conducted an online experiment using a version of the coin-toss task in two different environments where group members’ payoffs are affected (or not) by each other’s reports. We find that, in both...

We study a contract design problem between a principal and a team of two productively heterogenous agents who can mutually monitor each other’s actions over an infinite horizon. The principal designs the explicit contract to set the stage for the agents to use implicit contracts to motivate...

Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gender diversity in coinventing teams and technological innovation. We reason that a diverse range of perspectives and experiences brought about through gender diversity can lead to more creative problem-solving and...

This paper explores commonalities between two bodies of work: Social Interdependence Theory (SIT) in social psychology, and Multilevel Selection Theory (MLS) in evolutionary biology. These two fields have each created theories of group integration, or how elements of a system become so...

This paper proposes the use of musical selections to enhance team-based learning (TBL) activities in economics education in the K-12 classroom. The author provides pre-designed lessons and templates that align with the Voluntary National Content Standards in Economics. The approach builds on...

We use a laboratory experiment to investigate the extent to which leaders---faced with opportunistic incentives---employ monitoring to improve team production. Participants are assigned to teams, with one person appointed as the leader. The leader has the power to commit to a monitoring option,...
