Suppose two pizza parlors employ drivers whose job it is to deliver pizzas to those who order over the phone. One company pays its drivers an hourly wage, and the other pays them by the number of pizzas delivered each day (which can be affected by efforts of drivers to deliver and hurry back for the next order). Which company is more likely to experience higher rates of traffic accidents among its drivers? Why?

Answer:

The second company which pays as per delivery.

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the company paying their employees as per the deliveries made have incentive their employees to work in speedy manner. It is definite that employees, in intention to earn more, will try to deliver more and more pizzas and that could lead to major accidents.

The other company employees might not work in an hurry as they are being paid on hourly wages hence extra work is not going to get them anything.
