Download or read book Compensation and Motivation written by Thomas J. McCoy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Compensation and Motivation" is the first book in the Culture of Partnership series. With a strong foundation in social science and behavioral psychology, this book will show you how to develop incentive plans that work! Turn the cost of compensation into an investment that will increase revenue and profit, enhance the value of the organization and motivate all employees to deliver the business strategy. Compensation and Motivation describes how to develop the right reward system that will engage and motivate the target audience. Employees come to work for the rewards, either material (money), social (recognition and appreciation) or both. Mr. McCoy shows how to combine behavioral psychology and business strategy to create a reward system that offers fulfillment to the employees if they deliver on the company goals. This book goes beyond just showing how to link pay to performance. It shows how to balance the array of rewards that a company can offer (cash, benefits, meaningful work, social recognition and appreciation) so that the maximum motivation is obtained with the least overall cost. It's called "the mix that motivates." Since this book was initially published, over 65 percent of all businesses now offer some form of incentive to all employees. However, many of those efforts are ineffective in achieving the organization's goals. This book shows how to engage all employees in the business, motivate them to perform at exceptional levels, create a common focus and a feeling of shared destiny (teamwork.) Learn how to become an employer of choice. Learn how to engage employees so that the operation "runs itself." Learn how to use compensation as the engine that drives a Culture of Partnership.

This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Employee Motivation, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: The motivation of employees is an important task of today's corporate management. In order for managers to do justice to their tasks and encourage employees to perform at their best, they must know how to influence the attitude and motivation of their employees in a positive and performance-enhancing way. Since each employee pursues different goals and the company's goals must not be neglected, managers must develop a flexible incentive system in order to reconcile the goals of the employees and the company's management. But how exactly does an incentive system have to be designed in order to be able to motivate employees? In this book, the author takes a critical look at increasing employee motivation using incentive systems. To this end, he compares basic motivation theories by Maslow, Herzberg and Vroom, among others, and illustrates the benefits for today's personnel policy. The author also shows how incentive systems work. In doing so, he makes it clear where the possibilities and limits of monetary and non-monetary incentives lie in relation to the willingness to perform of a company's employees. From the content: - Motivation theory; - Attraction; - Extrinsic motivation; - Intrinsic motivation; - Monetary incentive schemes; - Non-monetary incentive systems

Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, grade: 1,3, International University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: If you look for any specific definitions, you will find a huge variation considering the term incentive systems. Weber paraphrases incentive systems as having the aim to encourage employees positively through their performance, with benefits for the organization to reach its stated goals and objectives. In turn, Bartscher identifies incentive systems as the sum of all created working conditions, directly or indirectly to impact the motivation and thus work performance of employees, evoking a certain desired behavior. Coherently, incentive systems aim to control behavior of employees. But they do not only support a certain behavior, such systems additionally are designed to avoid unwanted behavior. Think of any internal regulations which intent to avoid behavior patterns by providing rules and/or punishments. Furthermore, as an example, a low performance might result in a curtailed income and loss of personal reputation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-monetary incentives and recognition programmes are an area of employee motivation that is often overlooked. Yet, as Fisher's book reveals, a strategic focus on non-cash rewards can generate significant return on investment in terms of employee engagement, performance improvement and financial results. In the present economic context, with companies pushing to deliver more for less, it is a particularly pertinent issue. Strategic Reward and Recognition brings together theory and practice to guide HR professionals, consultants and senior leaders in developing the most effective programmes for their organizations. It features examples of good practice from all over the world, from different sectors and from both large and small organizations, providing coverage of digital as well as in-person schemes.

This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been increasing efforts to use accountability systems based on large-scale tests of students as a mechanism for improving student achievement. The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a prominent example of such an effort, but it is only the continuation of a steady trend toward greater test-based accountability in education that has been going on for decades. Over time, such accountability systems included ever-stronger incentives to motivate school administrators, teachers, and students to perform better. Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education reviews and synthesizes relevant research from economics, psychology, education, and related fields about how incentives work in educational accountability systems. The book helps identify circumstances in which test-based incentives may have a positive or a negative impact on student learning and offers recommendations for how to improve current test-based accountability policies. The most important directions for further research are also highlighted. For the first time, research and theory on incentives from the fields of economics, psychology, and educational measurement have all been pulled together and synthesized. Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education will inform people about the motivation of educators and students and inform policy discussions about NCLB and state accountability systems. Education researchers, K-12 school administrators and teachers, as well as graduate students studying education policy and educational measurement will use this book to learn more about the motivation of educators and students. Education policy makers at all levels of government will rely on this book to inform policy discussions about NCLB and state accountability systems.

This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,8, Ashcroft International Business School Cambridge (Anglia Ruskin University), language: English, abstract: EVA-based Bonus Systems and the Influence on Motivation of Employees in Companies with Branch- or Profit-Centre Structure Tobias Bandt Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the early the 20th century, companies have tried to find ways to motivate their staff and, through that, increase performance and productivity. Despite several theories that consider monetary incentives as not being a motivator it is still very common practice for companies to motivate their employees using profit participation schemes. Companies and organisational structures have significantly changed in the last 50 years. Is it still possible to measure and influence the performance of the individual? And what is the assessment based on? Is the approach of profit participation sustainable and contemporary? Even in times of globalisation, companies try to delegate responsibility to their business units and branches in order to measure performance and make them comparable. Therefore, they organise them as profit-centres, small organisational units which act like a company within a company. Economic Value Added (EVA) promises to measure more than the profit of a unit; it considers the added value of a branch to the company, shareholders and customers. This Master thesis aims to provide an overview of EVA, how it works and how it influences the motivation of people who work in branches that are organised as a profit-centre. It also analyses the influence of EVA-based incentive systems on the cooperation between branches and regions and, further, assesses the influence of fairness and transparency on the motivation. The research project is supported by a survey, conducted among branches of DIS AG, a company that has been using EVA for eight years as a basis for the calculation of monetary incentives. The survey covers three areas of EVA’s impact on employees: the influence on motivation in general, on cooperation between branches and the influence of transparency and fairness. The results of this survey are used to develop recommendations for adapting the system in order to maximise the impact on employee motivation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incentives are the most powerful tools executives can use to improve worker performance. This is particularly true in today's empowered workplace, where incentives can ensure that workers apply their initiative toward company goals. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Richard McKenzie and Dwight Lee show how to select the right incentives and how to use them for best results. Generously illustrated with examples from business, industry, government, academia, and professional sports, this superb volume offers a comprehensive overview of incentives, both in theory and in practice, providing a wealth of ideas managers can use to get employees to work harder, smarter, and more cooperatively. Much of the book is quite eye-opening. For instance, while McKenzie and Lee recognize that money is the prime motivator, they urge managers not to overlook the power of non-monetary incentives, carefully evaluating such motivators as fringe benefits, psychological incentives, education, and training. And they examine a host of other issues, including how to take advantage of executive "overpayment" to increase profits; the limits of piece-rate and other pay-for-performance schemes; finding the right balance between current pay and a more generous pension plan; the value of tough bosses; and hostile takeovers as a form of managerial incentive. How workers are rewarded is often more important than how much they are rewarded, say the authors. The job of good managers is getting the incentives right. Managing Through Incentives shows managers how to apply proven motivators to help any size firm energize the work force, increase its profits, and meet the awesome challenges of today's fiercely competitive global economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pay for performance" has become a buzzword for the 1990s, as U.S. organizations seek ways to boost employee productivity. The new emphasis on performance appraisal and merit pay calls for a thorough examination of their effectiveness. Pay for Performance is the best resource to date on the issues of whether these concepts work and how they can be applied most effectively in the workplace. This important book looks at performance appraisal and pay practices in the private sector and describes whetherâ€"and howâ€"private industry experience is relevant to federal pay reform. It focuses on the needs of the federal government, exploring how the federal pay system evolved; available evidence on federal employee attitudes toward their work, their pay, and their reputation with the public; and the complicating and pervasive factor of politics.
