| Abstract: | To date, the literature on the performance-related pay (PRP) and health relationship has focused on self-reported data. This paper uses an experimental method to examine the effect of PRP on stress measured by salivary cortisol for those who self-selected into a PRP contract, focusing on whether participants who perceive themselves with higher ability self-select into PRP and exhibit different stress changes compared to those not in a PRP scheme. Results show that self-selected PRP participants demonstrate significantly higher cortisol levels than participants in the nonPRP group. This study suggests that, regardless of sorting, PRP leads to higher physiological stress. |
