"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.

Promise and peril in implementing pay-for-performance

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to explore why managers made their decisions in 12 of 13 pay-for-performance "experiments" at Hewlett-Packard in the mid-1990s. Alternative managerial practices such as effective leadership, clear objectives, coaching, or training are thought a better investment.
