Abstract
We provide a theoretical analysis of multitask promotion tournaments in which workers increase their promotion chances by under-performing (over-performing) on tasks that are de-emphasized (emphasized) in a promotion rule. In some settings the …rm can mitigate such “strategic shirking” by committing to a promotion rule that requires more balance in the performances across job tasks than would be justi…ed on productivity grounds. The model can explain “Putt’s Law”, which states that competent workers are sometimes passed over for promotion in favor of incompetent ones.
