【Abstract】
There continues to be disagreement about whether financial incentives undermine or enhance performance, especially in interesting tasks. Although the Jenkins, Mitra Gupta, & Shaw (1998) meta-analysis finds a positive effect of incentives, including in interesting tasks (reported = +.34; our computed = +.79), a more recent and widely cited meta-analysis by Weibel, Rost, and Osterloh (2010) reports, in contrast, a negative effect ( = -.13) of incentives on performance in interesting tasks. Thus, the effect size for interesting tasks differs by .92 standard deviations between the two meta-analyses, a very large difference. We incorporate primary studies from these two meta-analyses and other sources in a new, more complete meta-analysis of incentives-performance in interesting and noninteresting tasks. We also examine additional key moderators (incentive intensity, how motivation-driven performance is, and autonomy). We find that the incentives-performance relationship is positive in both interesting (= +.58) and noninteresting tasks (= +.52). In addition, we find that the positive incentives-performance relationship is robust to not only task interest, but also to incentive intensity, how motivation-driven performance is, and autonomy. However, the incentives-performance relationship is less positive for performance measured as quality, especially in interesting tasks. We provide suggestions for future research.
