Abstract:
There is no difference between performance of those employees receiving a salary as compensation for
services and those employees receiving compensation based on output by the specific employee, (Null), or
alternatively, incentive compensation results in increased employee productivity. This issue has been
debated historically and the debate continues. This paper reviews the issue from a historical perspective
and includes contemporary research and concludes with implications for further research.
