Combining the counter-plan method and the inverted priorities method for distribution of the motivation fund for scientific laboratories

An incentive model for an organizational system (OS) agent is considered, using a combination of the method of inverted priorities and a modified counter-plan method. The resulting model motivates the agent to report the planned KPI value, which coincides with the agent's forecast and at the same time stimulates the agent to submit an adequate application for the resource. The model allows the OS center to allocate a dedicated resource to run each KPI between agents so that in addition to reporting adequate plans, agents are committed to their implementation. Restrictions are imposed on the model parameters, in which the choice of an agent equal to its own forecast is a dominant strategy (DS), provided that the agent submits the optimal (according to the method of inverted priorities) requests for the resource. It is proved that such a choice for all OS agents is an equilibrium in DS. The procedure for determining the planned KPI values for OS agents and resource allocation between agents is described. The model parameters determined by the OS center, taking into account the imposed restrictions, allow selecting the required priorities for agent motivation and distributing a motivational fund in accordance with the priorities identified by the center. An example of the application of the model for stimulating scientific laboratories for the preparation of students is given.
