Toward the Constructive Theory of Human Social Behavior. V. Labor Behavior under Piecework Pay

This paper is the fifth in our series (see references 1–4) aimed at describing the functioning of a human community (for example, a firm, a region, or a state) on the basis of a “microscopic” picture that represents individual deeds (behavior, in fact). General principles are outlined in reference 1, where we formulate an extremal principle that governs the behavior of individs and, thereby, the life of whole community. The description is, generally, closed, by which it is implied that the goods and services consumed by each individ result mainly from the labor of other members of the society (see also references 5 and 6).
