The selection of incentive team-based reward model

The concept of “team” was first proposed in 1994 by Stephen Robbins. With the fiercer global competition and the more refinement of work division within the organization, enterprises not only need work division, but also need cooperation. Now the concept of “teamwork” has swept the globe. Team building has penetrated into various fields, different professions and departments. Thus, it is an urgent problem to motivate teams and to improve performance of teams effectively. To solve this problem, enterprises should select suitable team incentive reward model. This paper points out that team needs unique reward model due to its work characteristics. Then this paper introduces two existing reward models: (1) the team-based reward base on individual performance; (2) the team-based reward base on technical ability, simultaneously compares these two models and points out their inadequacies. On this basis, a new team-based reward system which base on “personal performance + technical ability” is suggested for different organizers to motivate individuals and teams.
