Labor's attitude toward wage incentive plans

Solomon Barkin

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1948, vol. 1, issue 4, pages 553-572

Abstract: This appraisal will deal primarily with wage incentive plans, defined to include all programs which relate workers' earnings immediately, directly, and continuously to their output. Not included in this discussion are wage bonus plans which link earnings with plant profits, volume of business, attendance, or any other factors, or other types of financial or nonfinancial plans. These frequently may be more effective than wage incentive plans in securing higher output, but their complexities are such that they fall outside the range of this discussion. A full wage program must consider them, however, before it is finally set. (Author's abstract courtesy EBSCO.)
