Why Boss Pressure and Employee Slack Form an Intractable Nash Equilibrium in the Workplace

The article uses game theory to show how external pressure and trust deficits push both employers and employees into a Prisoner's Dilemma where betrayal becomes the dominant strategy, creating a double‑loss Nash equilibrium, and then proposes repeated‑game and profit‑sharing mechanisms to break the stalemate.
