Answer:
a) sometimes a manager is rewarded for an objective other than maximizing profit
Step-by-step explanation:
If an employee is using a compensation system it means they are providing monetary and non-monetary benefits to their employees in order to motivate them to work as good as possible and to reach their target.
The compensation is set and given for the work well done.
It can be
- Directly financial - monetary compensation for the work, commission, and performance
- Indirect financial - compensating via paid time-off, various insurance options, stocks, services, concluding, etc
- Non-financial - satisfaction and praise employees get by finalizing the job
The problem is that this means sometimes workers will be given compensation that was previously set, even if the work is not done in the maximizes quality or goal possible. The company and management might not benefit in the best possible way, they might even gain losses in the long run, yet the employee will be compensated nonetheless.
