Some employers reward members of staff for their exceptional contribution to the company by giving them extra money. This practice can act as an incentive for some but may also have a negative impact on others. To what extent is this style of management effective? Are there better ways of encouraging employees to work hard? v.6

Some employers reward members of staff for their exceptional contribution to the company by giving them extra money. This practice can act as an incentive for some but may also have a negative impact on others. Are there better ways of encouraging employees to work hard? v. 6
Excellent performance by employees in an organisation is usually rewarded in different ways and giving money to the best employee is a common trend in most of the organisations. Though this is a good way to motivate employees to work harder and better and engage in a positive competition, some people opine that this is not the best way to encourage employee. They think that there are better alternatives for this type of rewards. In my opinion money as a reward in combination with other motivations can be the best way for encouraging people to work harder. First of all, one of the main reasons people work in an office is money. No matter how cordially we deny the fact that we work for money, the reality is we need money to support our family, our personal needs and to live in this world. There are definitely other factors like job satisfaction, passion for work, working environment, career prospect, relationship with co-workers and bosses that determine whether an employee is motivated to work in an organisation or not but the money the employee gets at the end of each week or month is the main determining factor. From this regard, additional money as a reward for exceptional contribution by a staff is the best way to motivate him. Some people would argue that there are definitely better ways to motivate an employee for an exceptional performance like allowing extended holidays, giving crest, congratulating and praising. They also think that giving money to the employee of the month has a detrimental impact on others. I quite disagree with this opinion from my personal experience. I worked in a multinational company where more than 200 people worked. The best employee of the month used to get more than $600 and a certificate. This worked quite well as most of the employees in different teams wanted to be the employee of the month for the prestige and the money. I am pretty positive that other forms of rewards would have motivated employees for a short period but would not ignite the performance completion among employees in a long run. Again, I think that giving additional money to an employee for his work performance would not create any negative impact on others. Any form of rewards like a plane ticket, crest, certificate, holidays is quite restricted in terms of their utilisation while money would give the employee complete freedom on how to spend it.   For instance what if an employee wants to buy his mother a gift with the additional money he might earns- only money as a reward would ensure that. Finally, the motivations and encouragements are not universal and hence do not apply for all. This varies from person to person. While money can motivate the majority of the employees some of them might already have it in plenty and could find motivation from the praising and positive feedbacks from bosses. From this regards, congratulations from higher authority, certificate along with the money would be most effective to inspire workers to work even better in my opinion. I would like to conclude my essay saying that money with proper recognition for the best performing employee could be the best way to motive and inspire employees in an organisation to work smarter and harder.
Excellent
performance
by
employees
in an
organisation
is
usually
rewarded in
different
ways
and
giving
money
to the
best
employee
is a common trend in most of the
organisations
. Though this is a
good
way
to
motivate
employees
to
work
harder and
better
and engage in a
positive
competition,
some
people
opine that this is not the
best
way
to encourage
employee
. They
think
that there are

alternatives for this type of

. In my opinion
money
as a

in combination with
other
motivations can be the
best
way
for encouraging
people
to
work
harder.

First of all
, one of the main reasons
people
work
in an office is
money
. No matter how
cordially
we deny the fact that we
work
for
money
, the reality is we need
money
to support our family, our personal needs and to
live
in this world. There are definitely
other
factors like job satisfaction, passion for
work
, working environment, career prospect, relationship with co-workers and bosses that determine whether an
employee
is motivated
to
work
in an
organisation
or not
but
the
money
the
employee
gets
at the
end
of each week or
month
is the main determining factor. From this regard, additional
money
as a
reward
for exceptional contribution by a staff is the
best
way
to
motivate
him.

Some
people
would argue that there are definitely
better
ways
to
motivate
an
employee
for an exceptional
performance
like allowing extended holidays,
giving
crest, congratulating and praising. They
also
think
that
giving
money
to the
employee
of the
month
has a detrimental impact on others. I quite disagree with this opinion from my personal experience. I worked in a multinational
company
where more than 200
people
worked. The
best
employee
of the
month
used
to
get
more than $600 and a certificate. This worked quite well as most of the
employees
in
different
teams wanted to be the
employee
of the
month
for the prestige and the
money
. I am pretty
positive
that
other
forms of
rewards
would have motivated
employees
for a short period
but
would not ignite the
performance
completion among
employees
in a long run.

Again, I
think
that
giving
additional
money
to an
employee
for his
work
performance
would not create any
negative
impact on others. Any form of
rewards
like a
plane
ticket, crest, certificate, holidays is quite restricted in terms of their
utilisation
while
money
would give the
employee
complete freedom on how to spend it.
 
For instance
what if an
employee
wants to
buy
his mother a gift with the additional
money
he might
earns
-
only
money
as a
reward
would ensure that.
Finally
, the motivations and encouragements are not universal and
hence
do not apply for all. This varies from person to person. While
money
can
motivate
the majority of the
employees
some
of them might already have it in

and could find motivation from the praising and

this

work
even

in my opinion.

I would like
to conclude
my essay saying that
money
with proper recognition for the
best
performing
employee
could be the
best
way
to motive and inspire
employees
in an

to
work
