Some think the best way to motivate and encourage people to work hard is to pay them based on how much they produce and sell. Do you agree or disagree? Include relevant examples from your own experience.

It is a common belief that paying commissions on what employees can produce and sell is the right strategy to increase productivity at

work

.

This

essay is going to discuss

this

point of view and disagree with it. Some people see the payment based on how much workers can do the best solution to encourage them to

work

hard because the more they

work

, the more they earn.

Furthermore

,

this

can have a positive outcome in some companies as it can create competition among co-workers to do their best and

consequently

, reach a larger profit.

For example

, in my country every single clothing shop works based on commissions and we can notice the engagement of the salespeople in selling their products rather than in Australia, where professionals in retail receive only their fixed wage.

However

,

this

business model does not

work

for all types of workers' personality. Some people care more about their passion or how worth

are

Suggestion

is

the roles they play. When I was working as a clothing store manager,

for instance

, I was not motivated to sell despite the 30% on commission I could earn on the overall profit of the company. My boss was always pointing out mistakes and never giving compliments on what we did right.

Therefore

, I was not happy working there and the results of my job were not positive as well. To conclude, I disagree that paying people based on how efficient they can be is not the best approach to obtain brilliant results. There are other ways to drive passion at

work

since

this

is not only about money,

this

is about how we feel at

work

.
