Details: Discuss the challenge of generating long-term
behavioral improvement. Do incentive plans improve performance for only a brief
window of time? What kinds of changes can they cause in the culture of an
organization? If incentive programs are for only a limited period of time, are
there any extended benefits? When incentive programs are over, will employees
return to their old behaviors or, even worse, begrudge the company for the lack
of extra pay (even if there is no quantifiable improvement to justify it)? Use
the Library and other Internet resources to research this topic).
