Leistungsanreize in Unternehmen

Author

  • Hannes Ullrich

Abstract

In der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Forschung wird seit langem diskutiert, wie Karriereüberlegungen die Leistung am Arbeitsplatz beeinflussen. Ist eine leistungsorientierte Bezahlung, zum Beispiel in Form von Boni, überhaupt notwendig, um junge Arbeitnehmer zu motivieren? Diese könnten ohnehin stark durch die Aussicht auf zukünftige Beförderungen, die von ihrer Leistung abhängen, angetrieben sein. Die Suche nach empirisch belastbaren Erkenntnissen zu solch impliziten Leistungsanreizen gestaltet sich bislang schwer.
