Incentives and job redesign: the case of the personal selling function
Article Abstract:
A study investigated the impact of the level of incentives on jobs that have been redesigned from individual to team functions. Results indicate that job redesign and incentive levels are related in a complex manner. The analysis reinforced the call in managerial economics textbooks for a joint design in the different components of organizational structure, particularly the assignment of responsibilities, choice of performance measures and structure of compensation plans.
