This study examines the effects of hybrid product and organizational identities on members’ identification with their organization.

In an experiment, advisers were paid a bonus to recommend a lottery which only risk-seeking individuals should choose to a less informed client. Afterwards, they had to choose for themselves and make a second recommendation to another client, without any bonus. These advisers choose the risky lottery and...

In this paper, it is shown that the existence of a generalized ordinal potential in a smooth game with multi-dimensional...

This raises the question whether peer sanctioning systems exist that avoid these costs and...
