Research Findings onOrganizational Incentives
People are influenced by both positive and negative incentives.
A Positive Incentive = REWARD, is an outcome that increases satisfaction of individual needs.
A Negative Incentive = PUNISHMENT, is an outcome that decreases satisfaction of individual needs.

Research Findings onOrganizational Incentives
Research on incentives tends to support :
1) Individuals tend to be more strongly motivated by the potential of earning rewards than by the fear of punishment (MCS should be reward oriented).
2) A personal reward is relative or situational. Monetery compensation is an important means of satisfying needs.

Research Findings onOrganizational Incentives
5) Incentives become less effective as the period between an action and feedback on it increases.
6) Motivation is weakest when the person believes an incentive is either unatainable or too easily attainable. Motivation is strong when it takes some effort to attain the objective.

Research Findings onOrganizational Incentives
7) The incentive that a budget or other statement of objective provides is strongest when managers work with their superiors to arrive at the budgeted amounts. Objectives, goals, or standards are likely to provide strong incentives only if the manager perceives them as fair.
