This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of tangible rewards in the form of non-cash incentives with a monetary value has become increasingly common at organizations (Peltier, Schultz and Block 2005). Despite their use, the behavioral and performance effects of tangible rewards have received minimal research attention. Relative to cash rewards, we predict tangible rewards will have positive effects on goal commitment and performance but will lead employees to set easier goals, which will negatively affect performance. The overall performance impact of tangible rewards will depend on the relative strength of these competing effects. We conduct a quasi-experiment at five call centers of a financial services company. Employees at two locations earned cash rewards for goal attainment while employees at three locations earned points, with equivalent retail value to cash rewards, redeemable for merchandise. Results show that cash rewards lead to better performance through their effects on the difficulty of the goals employees selected. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Download or read book The Influence of Monetary Incentives on Goal Choice Goal Commitment and Task Performance written by James A. Riedel and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanism by which monetary incentives influence goal choice, goal commitment, and task performance. It was hypothesized that monetary incentives influence cognitions that determine these events. One hundred and thirty subjects recruited for a work simulation study were assigned randomly to groups that differed in terms of the magnitude of incentive offered for various levels of performance. Overall the results suggest that the effects of monetary incentives on goals and performance may be explained, in part, by their influence on the process of goal choice. Goal choice and commitment were positively related to performance. Also, goals mediated the effects of incentives on performance. A research model is proposed for use in predicting performance. Keywords: Goal setting, Motivation, Expectancy theory.
