Absenteeism: a comparison of incentives in alternative organizations

Article Abstract:

The incentives that causes workers to absent themselves from work with no apparent reason was analyzed. This involved the application of a game theoretic model on labor-managed firms and profit-maximizing firms and a comparison of the resulting incentives and equilibria. It was found that incentives causes workers in a profit-maximizing market to show up too often, while in an egalitarian cooperative setting, members tend to under participate. However, this may not be the case for all egalitarian cooperatives.
