PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study is to determine how people view profit sharing bonuses.
PROCEDURE:
You will be asked to evaluate profit sharing bonuses that vary in the amount of money you can receive and when it is available. There are no right or wrong answers. We are only interested in your opinions about bonuses and how they could be distributed. There are two sets of questions. The amount and the length of time that you have to wait to receive the profit sharing bonuses will change. At the end you will be asked some questions so that we can describe the characteristics of our sample of participants and we will ask you about your strategy.
Risks:
There are no risks in responding to these questions. You may learn something about your decision making strategies.
