"Promise and peril in implementing pay-for-performance" by Michael Beer and Mark D. Canon
Article Abstract:
Michael Beer and Mark D. Canon strongly believe that pay-for-performance (PFP) can have unexpected, even adverse effects on organizations. According to James Baron, PFP is not dangerous, but the system that excessively emphasizes financial rewards for performance may not be successful as it constantly keeps the earnings level in the workers consciousness.
