Evaluating Anti-Shirking Strategies
A call center is struggling with low employee productivity, which management attributes to workers not exerting sufficient effort. Two potential solutions are proposed:
- Strategy 1: Implement a new, sophisticated software that monitors keystrokes and call times, making it almost certain that any lack of effort will be detected within the hour.
- Strategy 2: Redesign the workspace with better ergonomic chairs and provide higher quality headsets, making the job less physically and mentally taxing.
Analyze how each strategy attempts to motivate employees to work harder. In your analysis, explain the underlying economic mechanism through which each strategy influences an employee's decision to exert effort or not.

Decomposition of the No-Shirking Wage
A firm has two types of jobs. Job A involves repetitive, strenuous tasks where it is difficult for a supervisor to observe an individual's moment-to-moment work rate. Job B involves collaborative, engaging tasks where an individual's contribution is immediately obvious to the team. To motivate employees to work diligently, which job would require the firm to create a higher 'cost of job loss' (the economic benefit an employee receives from having the job compared to being unemployed), and why?

Impact of Workplace Changes on Employee Motivation
Analyzing Competing Effects on Worker Motivation
A firm understands that to motivate an employee to work hard, the value of keeping their job must outweigh the temptation to slack off. For each scenario, match it with the primary reason why the firm would need to offer a particularly large 'extra benefit' (i.e., a high wage relative to unemployment benefits) to ensure diligence.
A firm that successfully implements a new technology making it easier and faster to monitor employee productivity can reduce the wage it pays to its workers without causing them to shirk, assuming all other factors remain constant.
A company's assembly line work becomes physically more demanding due to a new production process. To prevent workers from reducing their effort, the manager needs to adjust their compensation. Arrange the following statements into the correct logical sequence that explains why a wage increase is necessary to maintain worker diligence.
A manufacturing firm simultaneously introduces two changes. First, it re-engineers its assembly line process, making the work more physically strenuous for its employees. Second, it installs a new, highly effective real-time monitoring system that can almost instantly detect when a worker's pace slows down. Because these two changes have opposing effects on the incentive to work hard, the net impact on the size of the 'cost of job loss' (the wage premium above what workers could get elsewhere) required to motivate employees is ____.
