Describe the advantages and disadvantages of group incentives.

What will be an ideal response?


Group incentives help foster more teamwork; they broaden the individual’s outlook by letting them see how they affect others. They also require less supervision and are easier to develop than individual incentives. Disadvantages include the potential for social loafing; the possibility that we will discount individual efforts and output; the fact that outstanding performers may lessen their efforts; and the potential for group infighting.
