Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

For a randomized field experiment with 1,500 workers in an online labor marketplace, the abstract reports that identical positive feedback from human managers elicited greater care, effort, and accuracy than feedback from algorithmic managers; the study period is not stated.

Scope: 1,500-worker online-labor-marketplace field experiment; treatment-arm denominators and observation period are not reported on the abstract page

Structured relationships

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text and PDFs were not inspected.
  • The abstract reports total N=1,500 but not treatment-arm denominators, allocation ratio, effect sizes, confidence intervals, p-values, worker composition, geography, task details, or a result for the negative-interaction condition.
