Some people think that the best way to motivate and encourage people is to pay according to their work. Do you agree or disagree?

There is no shortage of opinion that every

work

should be paid. In my opinion, a payment system based on the

work

done by a person, makes him motivated in his

job

. I feel

this

way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following paragraphs.

First

and foremost, being paid according to the

job

done makes a person more committed to the

job

. Many corporate companies often underpay their employees,

this

makes the staff more uncomfortable. Evidently,

this

can lead to dissatisfaction, which in turn

increases

staff attrition. A fair salary system

increases

the self-confidence of the people and can increase loyalty towards the

work

and the organization. My personal experience is a great example of

this

. When I was employed in a pharma company, I often felt that I was less paid for my

work

.

As a result

, I was overwhelmed and stressed out.

This

eventually, led to my resignation. But, when I moved to the

next

organization, I was paid well and I became the best performer of the year. I am sure that, if I was paid well for my

work

in the previous institution, I would not have left it.

Secondly

,

this

type of payment system can increase our productivity.

In particular

, as the earning

increases

with the task completed, there will an increased urge to finish more

work

. Obviously,

this

can raise the target levels and

this

, in turn,

increases

the productive hours and productivity. Drawing from the professional experience of my wife, working for a software company as a data coder, is paid based on the number of projects she is completing in a month.

Moreover

, she is getting additional benefits for each project completed apart from her basic target. So, she works tirelessly for the company with the same enthusiasm even during the weekends. I am sure that, if she is not paid for the additional effort, she will feel demotivated and will not take up new assignments. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that everybody should be paid according to the

work

done.

This

is because it

increases

productivity and makes the employees more committed to their

job

.
