THE USE OF REWARDS IN MOTIVATING MARGINAL MEMBERS OF THE WORK FORCE

Abstract

The paper deals with the use of four groups of rewards (financial, interpersonal, intrinsic to work and developmental) for motivating individuals who have failed to demonstrate consistent work attendance or to meet organizationally defined standards of adequate performance. The paper emphasizes the importance of considering the sources of rewards and their method of administration, and considers the effects of these factors on attendance and performance.
