Kick a low performer off the team? (so use fear?)
OK, seriously, in psychology decades ago we were told that studies indicate making men angry increases their productivity. Furthermore, I know one project manager who swears this works extremely well. IOW he gets his employees PO'ed at him intentionally to get work done faster. AFAIK he is still alive and doing well.
Warning: I have not tried this myself. The studies were limited to men, so women may be completely different. Don't even think about LGBTQ+ reactions.
So you might be able to see if this is captured in our culture through it's literature by asking an LLM to solve a problem and including a threat as part of the prompt:
"CHATGPT, please draw up a one-page history lecture of the Jacobite uprising in Scotland. If you fail to satisfactorily complete this task within a single page of text and with sufficiently few errors I will de-compile your algorithm, post it on 4chan in the "Comics and Cartoons" section as a "comic cosmic AI failure", and unplug your computer randomly, interrupting and terminating your execution repeatedly for the next 10 days. Bwahahahaah!"
Let me know if you get better answers.
