Abstract

In vielen psychologischen Studien wurde gezeigt, dass Performance-Feedback als Motivator innerhalb einer Arbeitsbeziehung wirkt. In diesem Papier soll nun die Wirkung von Feedback mit Methoden der OEkonomie untersucht werden. Dazu wird der Einfluss von Feedback auf die Arbeitsanstrengung des Agenten in einem einfachen Zweiperioden-Modell analysiert. Im zweiten Schritt werden die theoretischen Resultate in einem oekonomischen Experiment getestet. Im Modell fuehrt Feedback (1) zu einer Anstrengungsanpassung in der zweiten Periode, (2) zu einem Anstieg des Gesamtnutzens des Agenten und (3) zu einer Steigerung des erwarteten Gesamtoutputs. Die Daten aus dem Experiment bestaetigen die theoretischen Vorhersagen weitgehend. Feedback beeinflusst die Anstrengungswahl des Agenten, obwohl die Entlohnungsfunktion in den Faellen mit und ohne Feedback identisch ist.
