The support received can make a difference in many areas of life, according to one study published in the journal Management Science.

Whether it's a conversation or just someone being there, the support you receive can make a difference in many areas of life, according to a study published in the journal Management Science by Fabrizio Colella (University College London), Patricio Dalton (Tilburg University) and Giovanni Giusti (TecnoCampus).

The researchers analyze from the case of a specific environment in the world of football (the ban in Argentina on attending football matches in stadiums after the death of a fan) the link between success and support that is received from the environment. "The main empirical challenge lies in the fact that support is essentially endogenous. People choose whether to offer or ask for support, to what extent, to whom to offer it, and from whom to ask for it. The paper addresses this challenge by exploiting an exogenous shock negative about the moral support caused by an unexpected law change in the Argentine soccer league," explains Giusti. 

Analyzing data from 1.320 games played both before and after the ban, the researchers found that the likelihood of an away team losing a game increases by 20% without its fans. The authors believe that this analysis could be extrapolated in a work environment where "monetary incentives are low", where performance would increase with incentives of other types.
