Abstract: When changing their jobs, some people experience high-performance expectations and may feel psychological pressure. This phenomenon is widely studied in the literature. However, any empirical examination of this kind of market pressure is impeded due to the latent nature of the phenomenon. The major problem of all of the empirical tests, especially on traditional business cases, is the lack of individual longitudinal data on performance. Meanwhile, professional sports and football, in particular, delivers an explicit measure of performance expectations expressed by transfer fees. Expensive transfers of star players, like the €105 million transfer of Paul Pogba from Juventus to Manchester United, cause debates in media on whether the player is worth its price. Such discussion in media, between fans or even teammates, puts external pressure on the player being under the transfer process.

On the one hand, employees who face high-performance expectations might exert more effort into completing a task, and, therefore, demonstrate better performance. On the other hand, a well-known psychological pressure may negatively correct individual performance. In our study, we use football labor market data to test whether a psychological pressure due to high expectations affects players’ performance in case of transfers between clubs. Our main finding is that the effect of high-performance expectations is generally negative. Still, the magnitude of this effect is heterogeneous, depending on the personal characteristics of a particular player.
