What makes performance-related pay schemes work? Finnish evidence
We analyze how features of performance-related pay (PRP) schemes affect their perceived motivational effects using a Finnish survey from 1999. The results show that the following features are important for a successful PRP scheme: (i) the employees have to feel they are able to affect the outcomes; (ii) the organizational level of the performance measurement should be close to the employee: individual and team level performance measurements increase the probability that the scheme is perceived to be motivating; (iii) employees should be familiar with the performance measures; (iv) the level of payments should be high enough and rewards frequent enough. Low PRP levels do not generate positive effects; (v) the employees should participate in the design of the PRP scheme.
