Job Allocation Rules and Sorting Efficiency: Experimental Outcomes in a Peter Principle Environment
An important issue in personnel economics is the design of efficient job allocation rules. Firms often use promotions both to sort workers across jobs and to provide them with incentives. However, the Peter Principle states that employees’ output tends to fall after a promotion. Lazear (2004) suggests that self-selection may improve job allocation efficiency while preserving incentive effects. ...
متن کاملJob Assignments under Moral Hazard: The Peter Principle Revisited
Job Assignments under Moral Hazard: The Peter Principle Revisited The Peter Principle captures two stylized facts about hierarchies: first, promotions often place employees into jobs for which they are less well suited than for that previously held. Second, demotions are extremely rare. Why do organizations not correct ‘wrong’ promotion decision? This paper shows in a complete contracting setti...
متن کاملOptimal allocation of resources in a job shop environment
In this paper we study the allocation of production services (e.g., maintenance) to machining centers in a job shop when there is a limited amount of resources for such services. Dierent classes of jobs go through the shop. A job class is characterized by its route, its processing requirements, and its priority. The problem we address is how to optimally allocate production services (the resou...
متن کاملPeter and Anti-peter Principle as the Discrete Logistic Equation
In this work Peter principle (in the hierarchical structure any competent member tends to rise to his level of incompetence) is consistently interpreted as the discrete form of the well-known logistic (Verhulst or Maltusian) equation of the population dynamics. According to such interpretation anti-Peter principle (in the hierarchical structure any incompetent member tends to rise to his level ...
متن کاملThe Peter Principle Revisited: A Computational Study
In the late sixties the Canadian psychologist Laurence J. Peter advanced an apparently paradoxical principle, named since then after him, which can be summarized as follows: ’Every new member in a hierarchical organization climbs the hierarchy until he/she reaches his/her level of maximum incompetence’. Despite its apparent unreasonableness, such a principle would realistically act in any organ...
