Today I found an article in the news about the behaviour based on social connections and incentives in the workplace. This study is academic but based on a field study on workers at a farm. So the data is more easy to analyse and also the result of the behaviour change. (Find in German:
www.handelsblatt: Zu gute STimmung ist schlecht fürs Geschäft). As usual it is difficult to say, if you can compare this findings to other kind of business and if there is a chance even to compare it to gender issues - but think about it.
