Using philanthropy to motivate employees can backfire, a study published by Economic Journal indicates.
When workers were told additional labor would reward a charity, they were less motivated than when they were offered no reward at all, The Wall Street Journal reports. The great majority of people, 85 percent, did more work when they knew the result was an increase in their own compensation.
Stephan Meier, a professor at Columbia Business School in New York and coauthor of the paper, says workers may see philanthropy as manipulative when it is used to get them to do more work.
“Tying charitable contributions to workers’ productivity or output was actually worse than doing nothing at all,” Meier told The Wall Street Journal .
Another coauthor of the paper, Lea Cassar, says there is a big difference between an opportunity for an employee to improve his or her own standing and a charitable donation on their behalf.
“Charitable and monetary incentives clearly don’t work the same way,” Cassar told The Wall Street Journal .

Thus, one positive result of the popularity of ESG investing is that it is causing companies to focus on improving their ESG scores to lower their cost of capital.”
Attempting to tie employee productivity to philanthropy and a focus on environment, social, and governance issues places corporations in the center of woke culture. If employees do not agree, they have little to no recourse against companies’ support of leftist ideology in the workplace.“For years, the left has cleverly placed issues like climate change, racial equity, and gun control under the umbrellas of ‘corporate social responsibility’ and […]
