Discussion Board

Organizations use different forms of incentive pay and performance-based compensation to recognize employees' contributions. However, rewarding performance can be complicated. What motivates one employee may not motivate another, and poorly designed incentives can sometimes create unintended results.

For this discussion, consider the following:

1. Do you believe pay is an effective way to motivate employees? Why or why not? 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of rewarding individual performance compared with rewarding team or organizational performance? 3. Imagine you are designing an incentive plan for a company. What would you reward, and how would you make sure the plan encourages the right behaviors?
