Some follow-up information on the CARS (Consortium for Alternative Reward Strategies) group incentive plan research featured in the two preceding posts (here and here):
WorldatWork (formerly the American Compensation Association, an original sponsor of CARS) no longer has summaries of the research available, but highlights of the research are covered in the following three articles (reprints available from WorldatWork) -
- "Capitalizing on Human Assets Through Performance-Based Rewards" by Jerry McAdams and Elizabeth Hawk, ACA Journal, Autumn 1992, Volume 1, Number 1.
- "Organizational Performance and Rewards: A Strategic Use of Employee Assets" by Jerry McAdams and Elizabeth Hawk, ACA Journal, Autumn 1994, Volume 3, Number 3.
- "Making Group Incentive Plans Work" by Jerry McAdams and Elizabeth Hawk, WorldatWork Journal, Volume 9, Number 3, Third Quarter 2000.
Don't be put off by the dates; this research - and its findings and lessons - remain relevant and useful in today's work world.
Enjoy!
