Why do you think that might be the case? For your consideration, note that Joseph Blasi, Director of Rutgers University$$s Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing states that profit sharing $$helps companies keep employees invested in making a profit,$$ Blasi said. $$When they are getting some of the profits, employees are more motivated to work toward efficiencies and solving customer service problems.$$ What do you think? Also, does agency theory apply here?

Any idea why Americans have a less lucrative profit$-$sharing plan? Is it possible that the pilots at American were traditionally more focused on negotiating higher base salaries, which do not fluctuate $($unlike profit sharing$)?$ Above, American was said to be $$proposing a profit sharing plan identical to that of Delta.$$ What will American want in return? Again, how would agency theory apply here?

page $379$ Delta$$s profit sharing payout in $2020$ was zero. Why? Is this the way a $$variable pay$$ plan like profit sharing is supposed to work?
