Mr. Jones pays his employees by the hour. He believes they purposely work slowly to maximize their personal satisfaction. What can he do to provide them with a stronger incentive to work efficiently?
Mr. Jones needs to do something that would change worker incentives. One option would be to link pay to output or to the firm's profitability. He could pay bonuses for increased output, or he might tie all employee income to the profit the firm earns. This would make the employees residual claimants, giving them a stake in the firm's well-being.
