Why a Bonus System Can Backfire

With my research collaborators in Canada and Norway, we investigated whether and why one specific bonus system used at a videogame company generated bad behaviors. Specifically, we looked at whether bonuses could make game developers disconnect from their moral standards and behave unethically-by lying, turning a blind eye to questionable behaviors, cheating, taking the credit for someone else's performance, displacing blame, or cutting corners.
