Abstract: Using contingency theory, this study examines factors that determine the presence of team rewards in a sample of 130 entrepreneurial firms (average annual sales of $30 million in 1995). As hypothesised, the growth stage of the organisational life cycle and high time commitment teams were positively related to the use of team rewards, but self-managed teams were not. A high commitment team was defined as one where the employee worked on the team on a full-time basis and with a long-term duration. The data also suggest that high time commitment teams were related to monetary rewards and low time commitment teams to non-monetary rewards.
