    This article concentrates on ideals of total devotion in Latin late antique Lives of secret saints. It argues that total devotion is narrativised according to a standardised plot structure or ‘masterplot’. The plot starts with the saints’ performance of total devotion in religious competition, which increases their fame and emotional attraction among the followers. Imitating the example of earlier ascetics, the saints withdraw in isolation to avoid the followers’ attention, but to no avail: the more they hide, the more they become known through the spreading of rumours. The saints’ subsequent disclosure intensifies their emotional attraction, and results in the people’s demonstration of total devotion. In a final step, the audience of the hagiographical tales is invited to follow the saints’ example. Laying bare the recurring plot elements, the article highlights the nexus of ascetic withdrawal, secrecy, fame, emotions, storytelling, and imitation in the constitution of total devotion.

    This paper studies how pay transparency affects organizations that reward employees based on their efforts (i.e., using "subjective performance evaluation"). First, we show that transparency triggers social comparisons that require the organization to pay its employees an "envy premium". This premium reduces the value of the employment relationship to the organization, and thus its incentive to pay subjective bonuses to the hard-working employees. To restore credibility of its incentive system, a transparent organization must therefore reduce the weight of bonuses, and increase the weight of fixed salaries, in the employees' compensation, relative to organizations that operate in a more conventional "pay secrecy" regime. Second, we show that transparency enables the employees to collectively sanction the organization for reneging on subjective incentives. Collective enforcement allows the transparent organization to use strong employment relationships to "cross-subsidize" weak ones, achieving a more balanced allocation of effort than under pay secrecy. We discuss testable implications of our model for compensation design, the choice between transparency and secrecy regimes, and organizational responses to pay transparency laws.

    In diesem Beitrag wird eine autoethnographische Reflexion von Komplikationen geleistet, die aus der Sichtbarkeit der Autorin im Text erwachsen. Diese Komplikationen resultieren aus der Tatsache, dass die Autorin zugleich einer Kultur des Sichtbarmachens und des Verbergens der eigenen Involviertheit als Forscherin angehört. Ihre Annahmen über mögliche Gefahren, die mit dem Sichtbarmachen persönlicher Gedanken im Prozess des Arbeitens verbunden sein könnten, verändern sich in diesem Prozess; Einsichten im Verlauf des eigenen Schreibens gewinnen eine grundlegend neue Gestalt. Zuletzt verhilft Autoethnographie zu einem besseren Verständnis der persönlichen und kulturellen Einflüsse, die ihren Wunsch, sich "zu bekennen", rahmen. ; The author writes an autoethnography reflecting on the inherent complications of confessions. She reveals the irony of living in both a culture of disclosure and a culture of secrecy. Her assumptions of the perils and pitfalls of rendering intimate thoughts shift as she reflects upon her own confessions. The impact and insight from her writings become revolutionary as she moves inward and outward through interrogations of personal disclosure. In the end, autoethnography helps her gain a deeper understanding about the personal and cultural influences shaping her desire to confess. ; La autora escribe una autobiografía reflexionando sobre las complicaciones inherentes de las confesiones. Revela la ironía de vivir tanto en una cultura de revelación y una cultura del secreto. Sus supuestos de los peligros y dificultades de desplegar los pensamientos íntimos cambian en tanto reflexiona acerca de sus propias confesiones. El impacto y penetración de su escrito son revolucionarios en tanto va hacia adentro y hacia afuera a través de interrogaciones acerca de la revelación personal. Al final, la autobiografía le ayuda a ganar un conocimiento más profundo de las influencias culturales y personales que forman su deseo de confesión.
