Rewards and Intrinsic Motivation : Resolving the Controversy Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Over the past 30 years, many social psychologists have been critical of the practice of using incentive systems in business, education, and other applied settings.

The concern is that money, high grades, prizes, and even praise may be effective in getting people to perform an activity but performance and interest are maintained only so long as the reward keeps coming.

Once the reward is withdrawn, the concern is that individuals will enjoy the activity less, perform at a lower level, and spend less time on the task.

The claim is that rewards destroy people's intrinsic motivation.

Widely accepted, this view has been enormously influential and has led many employers, teachers, and other practitioners to question the use of rewards and incentive systems in applied settings.

Contrary to this view, the research by Cameron and Pierce indicates that rewards can be used effectively to enhance interest and performance.
