Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the earnings of a worker are closely tied to their output, they have a direct incentive to work harder rather than shirk. This is because their compensation is directly linked to their productivity. In contrast, when workers are not monitored, paid the same wage rate, or when firm ownership is separated from managerial control, there may be less of an incentive to work harder or put forth more effort, which can lead to shirking.
