Includes bibliographical references

Scholars in strategy, organizational behavior, and economics have shown increasing interest in the link between non-monetary, extrinsic incentives and employee productivity. However, nearly all of this research examines rewards that have some kind of social recognition mechanism. In the first chapter of my dissertation, I examine the awarding of private, non-monetary badges for hitting performance targets. On Amazon Mechanical Turk, workers receiving this type of badge upon hitting a performance threshold are approximately 9.4 percent more productive than workers in the control group. Interestingly, this increase in productivity was almost the exact same as giving workers hitting the threshold a 20 percent bonus in pay.

520 $a Scholars in strategy, organizational behavior, and economics have shown increasing interest in the link between non-monetary, extrinsic incentives and employee productivity. However, nearly all of this research examines rewards that have some kind of social recognition mechanism. In the first chapter of my dissertation, I examine the awarding of private, non-monetary badges for hitting performance targets.

520 $a The second chapter of my dissertation presents the analysis of an actual incentive scheme that has a unique characteristic: it combines both symbolic and pecuniary incentives under the same platform. By examining the results of this real-life application, I can estimate the extent to which workers respond to an actual application of gamification and how its impact varies over time.
520 $a Understanding the determinants of value captured by different stakeholders is a key issue for both practitioners and scholars in strategic management. The final chapter of my dissertation presents a study on variations in worker compensation in the copper mining industry. Our results show that there is a positive effect of copper price on workers' compensation, but this effect is moderated by the characteristics of labor regulation in each country.
