Abstract

Even if the managers are well aware of the abilities of their subordinates, they often have to use uniform systems of labor remuneration, that is, to fix the payments to the employees so that they are defined uniformly exceptionally by the results of their work, rather than directly by their abilities. The present work studied the properties of uniform systems of labor remuneration in the active systems consisting of a principal and several subordinated agents. Realization of identical actions by various agents was considered in detail. Relationship between the stimulation function and the function of action, which is understood as the dependence of the vector of actions chosen by the agent on its abilities, was studied.
