  Lets Talk AboutMoney…  In order for pay to be an important motivator, there has to be variability in pay options. 1. Pay is more important to extroverts than to introverts. 2. Receiving performance-based pay is more important to high academic achievers than to others. Receiving higher pay than their co-workers is more important to extroverts and individuals with a history of social achievements. 3. High-performing employees appear to be particularly sensitive to whether their higher performance is rewarded with above- average pay increases, while low performers prefer low- contingency pay systems. 4. Pay appears to be more important to men than to women. 5. People with high need for achievement and higher feelings of self-efficacy prefer pay systems that more closely link pay to performance.

  Think About It… Take complaints about pay seriously.  Do not fall very far below market pay levels.  Realize that most of the best employees want strong pay-performance relationships.  Evaluate current pay systems with respect to the strength of pay-performance relationships.  Examine whether executive pay is moving in the same direction, and at roughly proportionate rates, as employee increases. *Money is not the only motivator. It may not even be a primary motivator. However, it plays a very important role in motivating most employees.

  Rise Above…  Ina changing economy having engaged employees may be key to a successful organization. Especially because lack of engagement and motivation shows a difference in the amount of money wasted.
