Performance pay in the hybrid work economy

Alipour, Jean-Victor - 2026

The large-scale rise of working from home (WFH) has granted workers unprecedented autonomy over how they allocate their time and effort, while weakening employers' monitoring ability. We ask whether firms use performance-based compensation to align workers' incentives when adopting WFH. To...
