Rather than focus on more intrinsic forces behind motivation, the incentive
theory proposes that people are pulled toward behaviors that lead to rewards
and pushed away from actions that might lead to negative consequences.
Two people may act in different ways in the same situation based entirely on
the types of incentives that are available to them at that time. You can

The table showed the mean average of the financial indicators. It
highlights that the most effective financial motivational factor according to the
employees is the individual sales commission for hitting the quota which
scored 2.46. Even if they were less satisfied with this, employees were still
motivated if they will receive extra cash if they will hit a certain amount of
sales which will also benefit the company. The second effective factor that
scored 2.23 was the longevity bonus to encourage the employees to stay until
specified day. Though the employees were less satisfied, it still means that
with this benefit, most employees were driven in this indicator because there
are a lot of company who offers better salary than what they received.
Meanwhile, 2.15 of the employees were less satisfied on the higher rate pay
given by the company if they will work beyond their duty hours. Possible
reason for this was the management won’t constantly offer their employees to
work overtime. Whereas, 1.46 were not satisfied on the monthly attendance
