Document Summary

Incentives can be anything that inspires or stimulates people to achieve something; yet, in simpler words, it is the drive to work at peak level to reap the rewards . These rewards highly energize employees to perform at their best but does this motivated behaviour still stick when there are no rewards present. In a workplace environment, these incentives can only support the company with a short-lived boost of performance and tend to backfire as employee morale plummets. Alfie kohn"s article, why incentive plans cannot work, states that rewards can damage the very practices that are designed to improve the workplace. Although we believe that people at their job would perform better if they were guaranteed some type of reward, kohn suggests that these incentives are just a momentary relief for a more severe disease. The mindset and comportment of an employee can determine how well a company produces results in a day.
