Cash is Good, Card is Bad
Introduction
This is a paragraph introducing incentives in the workplace, according to Collins Online dictionary an incentive is “something that incites or tends to incite to action or greater effort, as a reward offered for increased productivity”. Employers usually give employers incentives if they are trying to achieve something out of them. There are Individual incentives, group/ team incentives and organizational incentives, all these will be discussed throughout this paper, as well as incentive systems that would work for this case “Cash is Good, Card is Bad”.
Individual incentives With individual incentives systems, certain conditions have to tie together personal effort to additional rewards for them to work, such as with individual performance must be identified, Individual competitions must be desired and Individualism must be stressed in the organizational culture. With the performance of the employees, each as a responsibility or task that is different from other employees, and how this person performs the task should be identified. Competition occurs because the employee wants the incentive for him or herself and will put up a competition with the other employees but with having an individual incentive, everyone wins if they meet the incentive standards. Individual growth, achievements and rewards is what the company lives off of.

    “An incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing.” This quote from Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner explains why incentives are used in modern society. They are present to motivate someone to make a decision, whether it be a positive or negative one. Many times the average person thinks of an incentive as a term they are not familiar with, or that they don’t use on a daily basis. However, people everywhere use incentives on a daily basis to get what they want, whether they realize it or not.…

    By starting the chapter off with a study between two economists who tried to find a solution for parents who repeatedly came late to pick up their children from daycare, Steven Levitt discusses the concept of incentives and its benefits and weaknesses. An incentive is something that tends to incite an action for the greater effort, as a reward offered for increased productivity. Basically, an incentive is used to motivate someone to do more “good things and less of the bad things.” Essentially, at root, the study of incentives is economics: “how people get what they want or need, especially when other people need or want the same thing.” Incentives are issued usually for…

    People all learn to respond to incentives, whether positive or negative from the outset of life. An incentive is simply a means of urging people to do more of a good thing and less of a bad thing. There are three basic flavors of incentive: economic, social and moral. Economic incentive is something material or tangible; moral is based of self-judgments; social is terribly powerful as it depicts what other people think of you resulting from your own actions or choices. Any incentive is inherently a trade-off; whatever the incentive, whatever the situation, dishonest people will try to gain an advantage by whatever means necessary.…
