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. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is believed that one of the most effective methods to encourage employees’

work

is by giving the benefit based on their productivity. I strongly agree with

this

statement.

However

, there are some considerations applied for certain positions or jobs. Giving employees

rewards

based on their performances will boost their

work

motivation. Clear objectives and job goals will make the employees can measure their performance and understand the finish point of their job. Sales executives and factory

workers

are the typical examples of position

that is

relevant to the

rewards

system.

For instance

, if a salesman was ordered to sell 200 items in a

day

and he is still selling half of it in his ¾

day

,

then

he should know that he has to twice his effort to make it achieved with the rest ¼

day

he has. The same condition works for the factory

workers

. They can

rate

their performance according to the production achieved and what should they achieve until the end of the

day

.

On the other hand

, there should be a different approach of

rewards

system for certain positions especially in the service field which cannot simply adopt the previous method.

For example

, medical

workers

and teachers do not have a production

target

and sales. All of their

work

can be rated on how satisfied the medical customers are or how successful the students are according to the service they provide. The performances

target

can be converted into a quantitative assessment by providing a questionnaire to the customer.

For example

, the questionnaire can be provided with some questions and customers can give the

rate

of 1 to 5 for each item. The

rate

numbers will be the

target

of the

workers

as they can be used as their performances indicators and

rewards

awarding. In conclusion, the best method to enhance employees’ performance is by giving them

rewards

for achieving their goals. The goal can be considered as production

target

, sales, and

also

rate

which is determined based on the field of the

work

.
