In a laboratory setting, we manipulate the perceived meaning of simple, repetitive tasks and find a strong influence on subjects\u2019 labor supply. Despite the fact that the wage and the task are identical across the conditions in each experiment, subjects in the less meaningful conditions exhibit reservation wages that are consistently much higher than the subjects in the more meaningful conditions. The result replicates across different types of tasks. Moreover, in the more meaningful conditions, subjects\u2019 productivity influences labor supply more strongly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\"><br \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Times New Roman\"><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n<p class=\"0\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); mso-pagination: none; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); letter-spacing: 0pt; font-family: \ub9d1\uc740 \uace0\ub515; mso-fareast-font-family: \ub9d1\uc740 \uace0\ub515; mso-ascii-font-family: \ub9d1\uc740 \uace0\ub515; mso-font-width: 100%; mso-text-raise: 0pt;\">Ariely, D., Kamenica, E., &amp; Prelec, D.
