Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study conducts three kinds of experiments and investigates the condition wherein a person makes more effort to get a good result. First experiment focuses on the situation that a pair of workers work multiple jobs. Second experiment focuses on the situation that a third person observes the level of the effort by other two workers. Third focus on the tournament wherein workers compete to get a higher post. The below is the experimental results: (1) it is difficult to cooperate in all the works in the first experiment. (2) When a third person works with other two workers in the future, two workers cooperate. (3) There are some people who make much larger effort to win the competition and some other people drop out from the competition without making any effort.
