Ola Kvaløy is an economics professor and the dean at UiS Business School. With co-authors Sebastian Fest, Petra Nieken and Anja Schottner, he's been awarded the best article award from the journal The Leadership Quarterly with the paper: How (not) to motivate online workers: Two controlled field experiments on leadership in the gig economy.

– This is an excellent recognition from one of the worlds leading management researchers. It is a growing interest in management among economists, and this award reflects it, Kvaløy says.

The paper presents results from two large-scale experiments on Amazon Mechanical Turk investigating the effects of monetary rewards and soft leadership techniques on output quantity and quality.

The Leadership Quarterly is a bimonthly peer-reviewed multidisciplinary social science journal and one of the world's leading journals in management research. It has a broad focus and publishes papers from various fields of social science and biological science.

The award includes a citation, cash award and an invitation to visit CCL (Center of Creative Leadership).
