Describe the challenges of offering incentives to employees.
What will be an ideal response?
There is still some concern that, at least in some cases, incentives don’t work. The evidence shows that group incentives do work better than individual incentives when cooperation is required in a work group, but in general it is difficult to tie employee actions to company success. If we fail to do that, incentives will not work. There is also an issue of incentives becoming an entitlement. If this occurs, the incentive no longer motivates changed behaviors. Third, external incentives may act to lower a person’s internal motivation to do something which may mean that we actually lower performance instead of raising it when we apply incentives. Finally, there is the problem of people only focusing on what they are receiving incentive pay to do.
