摘要
Purpose - The purpose of this "viewpoint" is to consider the unintended consequences of variable pay and incentive schemes in healthcare environments. Design/methodology/approach - Reviews a series of side effects of incentives. Findings - The paper suggests that pay-for-performance schemes should be avoided. Originality/value - The area of public sector boards is undergoing considerable change in the UK and this paper, although preliminary, is one of the few to examine the links to motivation.
