pay-for-performance
Earnings match output
Pay-for-performance is a compensation model where payment depends on achieving measurable results rather than just completing tasks.
In healthcare, providers receive bonuses for meeting quality benchmarks.
In business, employees earn based on productivity or sales targets: The company switched to a pay-for-performance system to boost motivation.
The approach assumes financial incentives drive better outcomes, though critics argue it can encourage gaming metrics or neglecting harder-to-measure work.
