Abstract
|
Before
This online randomized crossover experiment examines how alternative collaboration arrangements and team incentive structures affect effort and performance in a timed visual retail task. Each participant completes four incentivized rounds under four collaboration conditions presented in a randomized, counterbalanced order. We plan to recruit up to 325 participants, targeting at least 264 analyzable participants.

Intervention (Public)
|
Before
Participants complete a browser-based visual product-counting task in repeated timed rounds. They receive standardized instructions, practice examples with feedback, and performance-contingent compensation. Across formal rounds, features of the collaboration environment and the mapping from individual performance to team reward vary according to a randomized, counterbalanced schedule. The purpose is to measure how collaboration arrangements and team incentive design affect effort and performance in a routine visual-inspection task.

Randomization Method
|
Before
Done by a computer before the four Prolific studies are published. Eligible participants are partitioned into four mutually exclusive participant groups in approximately equal proportions. Each group is assigned to exactly one of the four treatment-order studies: A-B-D-C, B-C-A-D, C-D-B-A, or D-A-C-B. The four order-specific studies are then published concurrently. Because the participant groups are mutually exclusive, a participant can see and enter only the study corresponding to the participant's assigned order. Assignment is fixed before treatment exposure and is not chosen by the participant or altered by the researchers after observing outcomes.
|
After
Done by computer through Prolific Taskflow before treatment exposure. The main Prolific study contains four prespecified external URLs, one for each treatment-order version. Taskflow is configured with equal planned allocation across the four URLs. When an eligible participant starts the study, Prolific assigns that submission to one of the available Taskflow URLs according to the platform's prespecified allocation procedure. The participant does not choose the treatment order, and the researchers do not alter the assigned order after observing participant characteristics or outcomes.
