| Abstract: | Three types of inventive systems were developed in the context of expectancy-valence theory of work motivation. The first made valued outcomes contingent on performance; the second attempted to make these rewards contingent on effort; the third added additional, financially-based outcomes to the reward package. These three systems were run consecutively for 8 months in an Air Force technical training environment utilizing subjects from two training courses. The results indicated that for one course, the first two systems resulted in slight but meaningful increases in performance, and the third system was fairly powerful. No real performance effects were observed for the other course. Attitudes generally increased under the program. The results are discussed in terms of expectancy-valence theory and in terms of their practical implications. Consideration is given to those characteristics which are necessary for powerful incentive motivation programs. |
