Some organizations" goal is to no longer exist i. e. canadian cancer society. Western"s goal is to be research-intensive and provide education. Organization doesn"t make the decision; the people within it do. Their goal may not be the same as the individual employee actions that are going to make the company closer to the objective may not necessarily make the individual employee improve. Goal alignment is critical so employees are motivated. Money tends to become less and less important as people move on in their careers. Positive incentives rewards i. e. gift cards, nicer offices tend to work better than negative ones. Negative incentives punishment i. e. ranking people on a chart for amount of sales.
