Week 9: Remuneration and Benefits
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Main objectives of a rewards system | Attract, Retain, Develop and Motivate. |
Intrinsic and Extrinsic | Intrinsic rewards are intangible rewards such as satisfaction and feeling of achievement. Extrinsic rewards are tangible rewards such as bonuses and benefits. |
Vroom's Expectancy Theory | In order for a person to be motivated, effort, performance and motivation must be linked. People act in a way that will lead them to their expected result. He proposes 3 variables; Valence, Expectancy and Instrumentality. |
The reward mix | Base pay, Benefits and Performance-Related Pay |
Criticism of performance-based pay | Advantages: motivates behaviour and distributive justice. Disadvantages: can rupture cooperative work and discourage risk-taking. |
Critical issues with performance-based pay | The behaviour/performance link must be clear, pay must follow immediately for it to be apparent and determining the payment amount must be valid and reliable. |
Vroom's Theory: Valence | Different individual values on a different level. |
Vroom's Theory: Instrumentality | The theory that people can be ‘conditioned’ to act in certain ways if they are rewarded for behaving as required. |
