C/HR/132. Drawing on published research, critically evaluate the extent to which individual performance related pay can stimulate higher levels of performance from employees

In this paper, Individual Performance Related Pay (IPRP) is discussed as a mechanism for rewarding employee performance to discuss the 'extent to which it can stimulate higher levels of performance from employees'. At the onset the concept of IPRP is elaborated upon, followed by snapshot of extant literature that is linked to it. The emergence of IPRP is critically discussed in context of multiple attributes like bureaucracy, hierarchies, size, and also affiliation. Preferences stemming from performance, occupational, and sector specific issues are also contextualised.
