セミナー
2023年3月6日(月)16:30-18:00
(人事経済学ワークショップ、スーパーグローバル大学創生支援事業、TCER共催)
形式:ハイブリット
会場:早稲田大学 早稲田キャンパス  3号館305教室
タイトル:”Is this really kneaded: Eliminating potentially harmful monitoring practices in a large-scale trial” with Matthias Heinz, Mitchell Hoffman, Tobias Kretschmer, Nick Zubanov

要旨:
In a large German bakery chain, many workers report negative perceptions of monitoring via checklists and other paperwork. We survey workers and managers about the value and time costs to all paperwork duties at the firm, and randomly remove two of the most onerous and low-value duties in half of stores. Sales increase by 2-3\% and store manager attrition is substantially reduced, while problems identified via mystery shopping are unchanged. Beneficial effects are fully concentrated in stores where regional managers predict that the treatment will be effective, reflecting substantial heterogeneity in returns that is well-understood by these upper managers. Effects appear not to come from workers having more time for production, but rather indirectly from employees intrinsically valuing that the firm reduced their paperwork. As a result of the RCT, the firm implemented firmwide reductions in monitoring, eliminating a checklist that employees regard as demeaning, but keeping a checklist that helps coordinate production.

Abstract:
In a large German bakery chain, many workers report negative perceptions of monitoring via checklists and other paperwork. We survey workers and managers about the value and time costs to all paperwork duties at the firm, and randomly remove two of the most onerous and low-value duties in half of stores. Sales increase by 2-3\% and store manager attrition is substantially reduced, while problems identified via mystery shopping are unchanged. Beneficial effects are fully concentrated in stores where regional managers predict that the treatment will be effective, reflecting substantial heterogeneity in returns that is well-understood by these upper managers. Effects appear not to come from workers having more time for production, but rather indirectly from employees intrinsically valuing that the firm reduced their paperwork. As a result of the RCT, the firm implemented firmwide reductions in monitoring, eliminating a checklist that employees regard as demeaning, but keeping a checklist that helps coordinate production.
