Answer
When employees are required to perform multiple tasks as part of their jobs, incentive problems can emerge, particularly when one task is easy to monitor and measure, while another is more challenging to assess. The issue arises when employers desire employees to allocate their time and effort wisely across various tasks. However, if employees are rewarded primarily based on the easily measurable task, they may concentrate their efforts on that specific task, neglecting the others. This can result in an imbalance in task prioritization and potential inefficiencies.
