Let me be a little more specific about other mechanisms. Joel Spolsky's post on akrasia, the subject of an LW post had this striking line:

eliminating overtime and working strictly 40 hour weeks...won't reduce a team's output

I think that is more suggestive of the ways in which workplaces fight akrasia, but I only say "suggestive" since I don't know what's actually going on there.
