Incent me
Article Abstract:
Worker incentives do not have to be financial, and financial incentives have limited usefulness. Many people are motivated by love of their work and a sense of shared purpose. For example, a young library worker can be rewarded nonfinancially by being able to bring home as many books as he or she wants. Managers must be cognizant of such rewards and incorporate them into their compensation plans.
