We model how individual preferences are shaped by strategic reciprocity choices. Our model accounts for heterogeneous players — with intrinsic altruistic, selfish or spiteful preferences — who randomly engage in short-run, as well as long-run, pair- wise interactions. To disentangle the...

The aim of the present study is to investigate the extent to which perceived organizational support and coworkers' conflict and work-family conflict play a role in the performance of three types of organizational citizenship behaviors. A cross-sectional design was used comprising a sample of 164...

This paper uses firm-level survey data to explore whether the extent to which firms perceive taxes and crime as impediments to their operations and growth (perceived constraints) affects firm tax evasion. To rule out spurious covariation, I use reported crime incidences as an instrumental...

This paper experimentally investigates the importance of sacrifice in affecting people’s reciprocal behavior. Our design allows us to exactly pin down how sacrifice of the sender’s own payoff matters for her perceived kindness from the eyes of the receiver in a sender-receiver game, without...

We experimentally study how (un)selfish lies are reciprocated—or not—in subsequent economic interactions in a labor market. The experiment was conducted in two sequential stages, where the first stage was a deception game, and the second stage was a gift-exchange game. We find that while...

We propose and axiomatize a decision model of social preferences under risk that captures motivated reasoning in social assessments. Our model considers a setup with a decision maker (DM) and one other individual. It highlights how the presence of risk enables the DM to egoistically exploit the...

We investigate the difference between monetary incentives and monetary gifts on employees’ performance using a firm-level field experiment. We randomly assign store managers of a German discount supermarket chain to two different groups. In the first treatment, the store managers receive a...

The open innovation concept is a comparatively new model, and there is an absence of empirical evidence to support a conclusive determination of the factors that affect open innovation, especially in terms of behaviour and costs. Researchers have proposed a variety of methods and techniques for...
