Answer 1

Payments closely linked with performance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways in which a firm may attempt to increase the performance and productivity of an employee. Productivity is the ability to produce goods and services efficiently and effectively.

One way the firm can ensure maximum performance is through performance-based-pay systems i.e. linking pay to performance. Financial incentives are a major motivation for employees as higher wages and salaries means higher income and higher standard of living. Hence, knowledge that if they increase performance, their pay will increase is likely to encourage them to perform better by putting their maximum effort into their work.
