Prof. Danilov erforscht derzeit, wie Führungsstile, Arbeitsorganisation und digitale Technologien das Verhalten und die Leistung von Beschäftigten beeinflussen – mit Fokus auf experimentelle Studien zu Anreizen, Fairness und Compliance. Sie untersucht konkret, wie Manager ihre Führung an Marktbedingungen anpassen, welche Effekte digitale HR-Tools auf Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit haben, und wie Richtlinien (etwa Affirmative Action) Motivation und Sabotage verändern. Ihre Erkenntnisse helfen Unternehmen und der öffentlichen Hand, Organisationsstrukturen, Personalmanagement und Führungspraktiken evidenzbasiert zu gestalten – relevant für HR-Abteilungen, Unternehmensführung und Politikgestaltung.

Abstract Governments across the world have implemented restrictive policies to slow the spread of COVID-19. Recommended face mask use has been a controversially discussed policy, among others, due to potential adverse effects on physical distancing. Using a randomized field experiment ( N = 300), we show that individuals kept a significantly larger distance from someone wearing a face mask than from an unmasked person during the early days of the pandemic. According to an additional survey experiment ( N = 456) conducted at the time, masked individuals were not perceived as being more infectious than unmasked ones, but they were believed to prefer more distancing. This result suggests that wearing a mask served as a social signal that led others to increase the distance they kept. Our findings provide evidence against the claim that mask use creates a false sense of security that would negatively affect physical distancing. Furthermore, our results suggest that behavior has informational content that may be affected by policies.

We investigate whether incentive schemes signal social norms and thus affect behavior beyond their direct economic consequences. A one-shot principal–agent experiment is studied where prior to contract choice principals are informed about the past actions of other agents and thus have more information about norms of behavior. Compared with a setting in which principals are uninformed, agents exert substantially higher effort under a fixed wage contract when they are aware that an informed principal chose this contract. The informed principal’s choice apparently signals a norm not to exploit trust, which leads to more trustworthy behavior. This mechanism’s robustness is explored in further experiments.
