- Abstract
To achieve efficiencies and reduce costs, more and more companies are managing their employees by algorithm. In this article, the authors present some of the first research findings concerning the effects of algorithmic management on workplace dynamics. One important finding is that employees managed by algorithms are less likely than colleagues managed by people to help others. The authors conclude with suggestions for how companies who want to use algorithmic management can mitigate its negative effects.
