| Abstract | This paper addresses the effects of peer pressure in work teams. Many empirical studies have shed light on the efficiency of peer pressure. Peer pressure can be defined as mechanisms of mutual monitoring and sanction established within a group of agents by the agents themselves in order to dissuade the members of the group from adopting a non-cooperative behavior. When work is organized in team production with profit sharing, theory predicts that compensing members of the team in proportion to the team's collective output provides a strong incentive to free ride on the efforts of others. However, because profits are shared, such structure also provide strong incentive to exert peer monitoring. Indeed a shirker do not reduce only his own payoff but also the payoff of every member of the team. We show in this paper that under some conditions, peer pressure increases cooperation. Cet article vise a etudier les conditions d'efficacite de la pression des pairs dans le cadre des equipes de travail. On definit la pression des pairs, comme l'ensemble de ces mecanismes de controle mais egalement de sanction mis en place par les agents eux-memes afin de discipliner leurs pairs. Lorsque le travail est organise en equipe de production et qu'une partie du resultat est partage entre les membres de l'equipe, chaque agent peut etre incite a adopter un comportement de passager clandestin. Toutefois, alors que le partage des profits fournit aux agents des incitations fortes a adopter un comportement opportuniste, un tel mode de remuneration incite egalement au controle mutuel. En effet, le partage des profits peut inciter les agents a se controler mutuellement car la remuneration de chaque membre du groupe depend non seulement de son propre effort mais egalement de celui des autres membres de l'equipe. On montre dans cet article que sous certaines conditions, la pression des pairs peut etre une solution relative au probleme du passager clandestin. |
