Jalt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jalt is a neologism coined by professor Yochai Benkler as a contraction of jealousy and altruism, to describe the dynamic in commons-based peer production where some participants get paid while others do not, or "whether people get paid differentially for participating." The term was first introduced in his seminal paper Coase's Penguin (2002).
It is described in more technical terms as "social-psychological component of the reward to support monetary appropriation by others or... where one agent is jealous of the rewards of another."
"JALT" is also an acronym for the Japan Association for Language Teaching, a non-profit organization.
