Abstract
It was hypothesized that (a) subjects given a choice (high-choice) to work on a task would be more productive than subjects given little choice (low-choice) and (b) higher reward would lead to decreased productivity for high-choice subjects but to increased productivity for low-choice subjects. Subjects were either given a choice or not given a choice to work on a task for a specified level of reward (either equitable reward, under-reward, or over-reward). Results indicated that high-choice subjects produced more than low-choice subjects, and that higher reward tended to lead to lower productivity for high-choice subjects, while higher reward tended to lead to greater productivity for low-choice subjects. These results were discussed in terms of alternative responses to inequitable rewards.
