“…Incentives are a popular method to improve employee behavior; as such, incentives have been the focus of much research. Incentives are rewards individuals earn upon reaching a performance criterion and include money, time off from work, and other tangible or intangible items (e.g., Henley, DiGennaro Reed, Kaplan, & Reed, 2016;Luiselli et al, 2009).
