Productivity and Rewards
An important management principle is that when behavior is rewarded, it tends to be repeated. It follows that in many business enterprises, the approach to getting employees to work hard or improve productivity is to reward them with money or company stock. In addition, some enterprises use other forms of compensation such as special privileges or perhaps promotion or job reassignments or even company-paid luxury vacations and other bonuses in kind. All such rewards are usually tied in to some index of performance, which precisely calculates the relative amount of increased productivity.
Whatever the type of reward given, managerial consultants point out that the promise of such incentives improves employee attitudes, motivation, and productivity. Typical business handbooks describing compensation methods advocate giving the greatest rewards to those who perform the best. For example, a well-known academic text on incentives points out that "the closer the link between job performance and rewards, the greater the motivational effect."
Advocates of improving productivity through rewards tacitly accept that people are rather like physical bodies that require the application of some external motivating force to be set in motion. Furthermore, they argue that any such incentives must have a high perceived value to the employee and must also be perceived as within the reach of that person. If the productivity goal appears beyond the reach of the person striving for the reward, then the motivational effect will be lower and productivity may decline. But if the reward system is correctly structured, productivity experts argue, it is possible to persuade people to achieve remarkable results.
According to the passage, it states that reward system increases the productivity. However, the lecturer contradicts by giving various cases in which productivity may be decrease or employees may be disappoint by it.
First, the passage states that the approach of getting employees to work hard or improve productivity is to reward them. But, the lecturer contradicts it. He says that people actually don't like reward system. It actually don't work as per the expectation.
Second, the passage states that whatever the type of reward given, managerial consultants point out that the promise of such incentives improves employee attitudes, motivation and productivity. But, according to the lecture, higher the reward, higher the desire to achieve and higher the disappointment if it can't be achieved. Employees now understand that reward system manipulates them to work hard. Employees always expects more rewards than there are awarded.
Finally, the lecturer says that employees don't like to ask doubts to the people who have many rewards. They give them negative rating and they feel disappointed. But, the passage doesn't state anything about it.
To conclude, according to passage the reward system is the best to improve Employees productivity and motivate them. But, the lecturer says that the reward system has many negative consequences on employees.
