In the Community Health Workers settings in Guinea-Bissau, we explore several
determinants of performance. Firstly, we investigate the effect of socio-demographic
characteristics like education, gender, wealth, job status and community "embededdness".
We provide evidence for significant differences due to education, gender or job status
and community interaction. We also research on the relation between motivation and
performance, concluding extrinsically motivated agents performbetter, as opposed to agents
with stronger antisocial impact perceptions, who performworse.
Given the richness of our data, we also explore differences in ethnicity in terms of
performance outcomes or motivation orientations, but in both cases we find few significant
results
