This short story tells the tale of a little incentive that was so powerful but came out to be super response propensity. There was an IT security provider name 'Elixir Bytes' whose dev income were at risk. The company developed security software for consumers, servers and cloud computing systems but sparklines of the analytical data show the downtrend in the profit of a company due to the quality of service they provided to customers. The director worked together with directors of security firm services, friends in quality and decision support to establish quality incentive based on core measures of performance.
The incentives involved weekly & monthly patches and bug improvements within 6 hours of report. Special incentives during a pernicious virus outbreak. The developer's group historically succeeded on core measures. The value of company quadruple withing 36 months. Now the birth of super-response propensity takes place. To control a virus infestation across global Elixir's board members passed a bonus package: For every virus who provides an anti-security solution to market, the dev will receive a reward. Yes, many viruses were cleaned & fixed but many were also generated to gain incentives. Employees who did their best and still didn't qualified for incentive became resentful and started giving up less output on projects.
The end of this story is that through the power of this little incentive company drastically changed the dice towards its side but it also turns out to be hollow inside. Incentives should be established on a timely basis with appropriate relevance, measurable by imbibing the work inside the industry under the direct control & action of the manager's full awareness.
Incentives are what motivates you to behave and achieve in a certain way, while preferences are your needs, wants and desires to perform any action.
Four broad classes of incentives:
Remunerative incentives/Financial incentives- It includes material rewards especially money in exchange for action and output in a particular way.
Moral incentives- It exists where a person feels the sense of self-esteem, approval & admiration from the community.
Coercive incentives- It exists where a person is inflicting pain or suffer in punishment. Example: Deduction of salary due to negligence in time efficiency.
Natural incentive- When it comes from inside and is naturally satisfying.
Incentives motivate your staff, increase competition in the market but also create employee resentment and some gain unfair advantages. Incentive must be smart & balanced. Representatives who need to win motivations may do as such in ways that hurt the organization all in all. In the event that manufacturing plant yield is the benchmark, laborers on the shop floor may organize speed and let quality slide. In the event that business volume is the thing that matters, salesmen may offer clients rebates or arrangements that eat into your net revenues.
