Objective function of firm: y-w-β+κ‚ for which β=ũy‚κ=dka Production Function: y=ka The objective function of firm has been added two functions based on the basic model‚ -β and +κ‚ showing the cost and the benefit of non monetary rewards respectively. They are allocated in the firm’s objective function‚ because the firm is the sender of the rewards‚ which the firm will have a cost and benefit of the reward from the worker. β is a negative function‚ since it is the cost of non monetary rewards
