Document Summary
Pay is important as it can fulfill lower-level needs as well as higher level needs such as social and self-esteem. L ink ing pay to performance on production jobs. Piece-rate a pay system in which individual workers are paid a certain sum of money for each unit of production completed. Wage incentive plans various systems that link pay to performance on production jobs. Lowered quality for example a toy factory, more toys would be made so that employees can earn more yet they no longer have quality as their top priority. Reduced cooperation may reduce the cooperation between workers when the pay systems reward individuals. Incompatible job design where wage incentives may be better suited to reward group productivity rather than individual performance: however as the team increases then the pay would decrease even though there would be an increase of productivity. L ink ing pay to performance on white-collar jobs.
