Abstract
ABSTRACT Many organizations, including for-profit firms, seek to support a social mission. This study experimentally examines how superiors’ value congruence and compensation scheme affect superiors’ target-setting decisions in social mission organizations. We predict and find that more value-congruent superiors set higher targets for their subordinates than less value-congruent superiors to motivate their subordinates to advance the organization’s social mission. We also find that superiors set higher targets for their subordinates when compensated with performance-based pay rather than a fixed wage. We highlight the importance of superiors’ value congruence with the organization’s social initiatives and compensation scheme on their target-setting decisions. Organizations with social initiatives or that are apt to adopt such initiatives should consider our findings when developing formal controls, as superiors’ value congruence with the social mission and their compensation structure can affect the targets they set for their subordinates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
