I think this implementation would work at least as well as state of the art modern management techniques do. It's a decent idea.
I've daydreamed about something similar. Not sure whether it would be better or worse, but my implementation would limit the amount each person can give, per month. I also struggled with the idea of making it a token economy. Thoughts?
- kleneway 18y agoI think the token economy thing is a good idea. You could also do a market approach of rewarding people who pick the top performers, but that gets really tricky.
- Alex3917 18y agoAll the research on token economies shows they don't work, at least according to Punished by Rewards.
- ericb 18y agoThat's an interesting looking book. I'm familiar with the whole intrinsic/extrinsic motivation arguments. I guess it depends on the definition of "work". In this case the economy would be intended as a measurement tool more than a motivational tool. However, I suppose you could still make a case that it would become demotivational, which would be at cross purposes.
