On the incidence of profit sharing
Article Abstract:
The tendency of employees to free ride under a profit sharing scheme is influenced by industry demand conditions. The study showed that employees are motivated to avoid free riding where there is an existing elastic demand, which also influences the firm to adopt a sharing scheme. Workers are also found out to have the tendency to limit output by avoiding areas where inelastic industry demand is present.
