Compensation and Incentives in the Workplace
探讨薪酬与激励如何影响工人努力程度，通过讨论相关文献证明薪酬、激励与生产力密不可分，适合对劳动经济学和人力资源管理感兴趣的读者。
Labor is supplied because most of us must work to live. Indeed, it is called “work” in part because without compensation, the overwhelming majority of workers would not otherwise perform the tasks. The theme of this essay is that incentives affect behavior and that economics as a science has made good progress in specifying how compensation and its form influences worker effort. This is a broad topic, and the purpose here is not a comprehensive literature review on each of many topics. Instead, a sample of some of the most applicable papers are discussed with the goal of demonstrating that compensation, incentives, and productivity are inseparably linked.
