Productivity and Rewards

The passage and lecture both discuss about productivity and rewards. The reading states that reward system can increase productivity. However, the lecture explains that reward system actually reduces productivity and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First of all, the passage mentions that a behavior is likely to be repeated if a person is rewarded. On the contrary, the lecture points out that the employees actually do not like being rewarded. The speaker explains that most of the workers want to be paid and given respect rather than being rewarded. The professor furthers his argument by pointing that there is no control study that shows that reward system has long-term profit.
In addition, the reading claims that rewards and incentives improve the employee attitudes and productivity. The professor ,however, opposes this by saying that these types of incentives can instead make them feel as if they are being manipulated or controlled. According to the professor, the employees can be more disappointed by the
reward system as they might not be able to achieve the desired goal. The lecture even claims that the reward system can be counterproductive.
Finally, the reading states that reward system can be used to achieve remarkable results. However, the lecture claims that the employees might try to conceal their problems from the supervisors in order to achieve the reward. He argues that the employee will try to claim the reward even by compromising the overall benefit of the company. He says that this would in turn reduce the performance of the employee.
