DESCRIPTION:I study how organizations assign tasks to identify the best ca
 ndidate to promote among a pool of workers. When only non-routine tasks ar
 e informative about a worker’s potential and non-routine tasks are scarc
 e\, the organization’s preferred promotion system is an index contest. E
 ach worker is assigned a number that depends only on his own potential. Th
 e principal delegates the non-routine task to the worker whose current ind
 ex is the highest and promotes the first worker whose type exceeds a thres
 hold. Each worker’s threshold depends only on his own type. In this envi
 ronment\, task allocation and workers’ motivation interact through the o
 rganization’s promotion decisions. The organization designs the workers
 ’ careers to both screen and develop talent. So competition is mediated 
 by the allocation of tasks: who gets the opportunity to prove themselves i
 s a determinant factor in promotions. [...]
