Document Summary
Reward problems: rewards fail to produce desired behaviour. Undesirable for the organization (motivate desirable behaviour but undesirable consequences) Wrong compensation mix between base pay, performance pay and benefits (do the work tie in with the desired behaviour). Discussion question: 1) when and why three main types of reward problems might occur: rewards fail to produce desired behaviour. 2)reward produces desired behaviour but undesirable consequences three main categories of reward problems: failure to produce desired behavior common problem of a reward system is not resulting in the desired behavior. This can become increasingly problematic if it ends up causing completely undesired behavior. Issues could stem from unrealistic goals. too often, a reward system simply has no impact on behavior. Ex: sales targets are set too high and unrealistic goals don"t motivate behavior: production of desired behavior and undesirable consequence as previously stated, these are the negative consequences of undesired behavior.
