Document Summary
Pay is a very important motivator (for people with strong power-level needs) and is clearly tied to performance. Piece-rate: certain sum of money for each unit of production completed. Wage incentive plans: various systems that link pay to performance on production jobs. Lower quality product (because workers are going for quantity not quality) Differential opportunity (some workers have jobs that allows them to produce more than workers doing different tasks so they will always earn more) Incompatible job (a job that doesn"t allow you to give pay incentives) Merit-pay plans: based on performance appraisals, managers can give bonuses to their employees, on top of their regular salaries. Low discrimination (giving undeserving employees bonuses oh, they did a good enough job ) Pay secrecy (no one knows what their co-workers are getting as bonuses) Now: job scope (breadth = number of different activities performed // depth: control worker has over tasks performed)
