| Abstract: | Highlights: [•] We conduct the first natural field experiment to explore the relationship between the “meaningfulness” of a task and worker effort. [•] We found that increasing the meaningfulness of a task increased the quantity of output with no change in quality. [•] We found that decreasing the meaningfulness of a task decreased the quality of output with no change in quantity. [•] Our study introduces MTurk as an exciting platform for running natural field experiments in economics. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
