Abstract

This article provides an overview of academic research on how incentives can foster or hinder creative performance. We analyze 22 relevant articles published in high-impact journals over the period 1986-June 2010 and classify the incentives discussed along four important components of incentives: goal-setting, evaluation, reward and feedback. Our analysis points at several research gaps, in the context of which we make suggestions for future research.
