Abstract
Employee incentives have increased in use as owners, contractors, and suppliers seek innovative approaches to create the optimum atmosphere for project success. One question, however, remains: Do employee-based project incentives result in an increase
Key Findings
While the overall results were reported to be similar in several key areas concerned with project performance, differences were found when comparing hourly and salaried personnel and the use of incentives, as summarized in the Table 1 below. (RS140-1, p. 8)
EIP should be well-planned, clearly established, and properly supported. When implemented with proper planning and careful consideration to the characteristics of the project at hand and cultures of the companies involved, employee incentive plans can succeed. (RS140-1, p. 13)
