MONETARY INCENTIVES

INTRODUCTION

One of the major problems facing most employers in both public and private sector is how to motivate
their employees in order to improve performance. Economics is largely based on the assumption that monetary
incentives improve performance. It is generally believed that effect of monetary incentives is unambiguously
positive a large monetary incentive improves employee performance.

The issue of employee performance cannot be over emphasized. The general believed is that employees will not
perform to the best of their ability unless they are motivated to do so. Various researchers have come up with
various ways to motivate people at work. However, because human beings are different from one another in
terms of needs, culture, religion etc. so does what motivate them also varies. Some employees are motivated by
financial and other incentives and some non- financial incentives.

Recent studies have shown that a combination of financial and non-financial incentives can motivates employee
to perform well on their job.

Managers continuously seek for ways to create a motivating environment where employees will work at their
optional levels to achieve the organizational objectives. Work place motivators include both monetary and non-
monetary incentives. Monetary incentives can be diverse while having a similar effect on associates. The
purpose of monetary incentives is to reward employees for excellent job performance through money.

Research shows that desired monetary incentives differ for employees based on career stage and
generation. Since human resource is the most valuable resource of any organization, it must activate, train,
develop and above all motivate in order to achieve individual and organizational goals.

Managers are constantly searching for ways to create a motivational environment where associates (employees)
can work at their optimal levels to accomplish company objectives. Workplace motivators include both
monetary and nonmonetary incentives. Monetary incentives can be diverse while having a similar effect on
associates. One example of monetary incentives is mutual funds provided through company pension plans or
insurance programs. Because it has been suggested that associates, depending on their age, have different needs
pertaining to incentives, traditional incentive packages are being replaced with alternatives to attract younger
associates. Monetary rewards as a motivator is high in developing in countries due to high cost of living and low
quality of lives which they are facing.

Monetary incentives refer to the exchange prices for labour. They are the base payments which employers use to
compensate time and effort spent by employees towards attaining organizational goals. Monetary incentives can
be understood as payment packages that individual workers earn by virtue of their employment by the
organization. Generally monetary incentives are economic benefits given to employees for the services they
render to the organization. Performance is defined as the ability to meet the set targets in the organization

The prime purpose of monetary incentive towards successful accomplishment is to motivate the employees and
encourage them so as to excel in their job performances.

DEFINITION

1) INCENTIVES

Incentive is an act or promise for greater action. It is also called as a stimulus to greater action. Incentives are
something which are given in addition to wagers. It means additional remuneration or benefit to an employee in
recognition of achievement or better work.

Incentives provide a spur or zeal in the employees for better performance. It is a natural thing that nobody
acts without a purpose behind. Therefore, a hope for a reward is a powerful incentive to motivate employees.
Besides monetary incentive, there are some other stimuli which can drive a person to better. This will include
job satisfaction, job security, job promotion, and pride for accomplishment. Therefore, incentives really can
sometimes work to accomplish the goals of a concern. The need of incentives can be many:-

 To increase productivity,
 To drive or arouse a stimulus work,
 To enhance commitment in work performance,
 To psychologically satisfy a person which leads to job satisfaction,
 To shape the behaviour or outlook of subordinate towards work,
 To inculcate zeal and enthusiasm towards work,
 To get the maximum of their capabilities so that they are exploited and utilized maximally.

Therefore, management has to offer the following two categories of incentives to motivate employees:

MONETARY INCENTIVES

2) MONETARY INCENTIVES

Those incentives which satisfy the subordinates by providing them rewards in terms of rupees. Money has
been recognized as a chief source of satisfying the needs of people. Money is also helpful to satisfy the social
needs by possessing various material iterns . Therefore, money not only satisfies psychological needs but also
the security and social needs. Therefore, in many factories, various wage plans and bonus schemes are
introduced to motivate and stimulate the people to work Monetary Incentives are financial incentives used
mostly by employers to motivate employees towards meeting their targets. Money, being a symbol of power,
status and respect plays a big role in satisfying the social-security and physiological needs of a person. Money
however, seizes to be a motivator when the psychological and security needs are satisfied.

The purpose of monetary incentives is to reward associates for excellent job performance through money.
Monetary incentives include profit sharing, project bonuses, stock options and warrants, scheduled bonuses
(e.g., Christmas and performance-linked), and additional paid vacation time. Traditionally, these have helped
maintain a positive motivational environment for associates.

3) NON-MONETARY INCENTIVES

Besides the monetary incentives, there are certain non-financial incentives which can satisfy the ego and self-
actualization needs of employees. The incentives which cannot be measured in terms of money are under the
category of "Non- monetary incentives". Whenever a manager has to satisfy the psychological needs of the
subordinates, he makes use of non-financial incentives.
Non- financial incentives can be of the following types:-

 Security of service- Job security is an incentive which provides great motivation to employees. If his
job is secured, he will put maximum efforts to achieve the objectives of the enterprise. This also helps
since he is very far off from mental tension and he can give his best to the enterprise.

 Praise or recognition- The praise or recognition is another non- financial incentive which satisfies the
ego needs of the employees. Sometimes praise becomes more effective than any other incentive. The
employees will respond more to praise and try to give the best of their abilities to a concern.

MONETARY INCENTIVES

 Suggestion scheme- The organization should look forward to taking suggestions and inviting suggestion
schemes from the subordinates. This inculcates a spirit of participation in the employees. This can be
done by publishing various articles written by employees to improve the work environment which can be
published in various magazines of the company.This also is helpful to motivate the employees to feel
important and they can also be in search for innovative methods which can be applied for better work
methods. This ultimately helps in growing a concern and adapting new methods of operations.

 Job enrichment- Job enrichment is another non- monetary incentive in which the iob of a worker can be
enriched. This can be done by increasing his responsibilities, giving him an important designation,
increasing the content and nature of the work. This way efficient worker can get challenging jobs in
which they can prove their worth. This also helps in the greatest motivation of the efficient employees.

 Promotion opportunities- Promotion is an effective tool to increase the spirit to work in a concern. If the
employees are provided opportunities for the advancement and growth, they feel satisfied and contented
and they become more committed to the organization.

The purpose of nonmonetary incentives is to reward associates for excellent job performance through
opportunities. Nonmonetary incentives include flexible work hours, training and education, a pleasant work
environment, and sabbaticals.

POSITIVE INCENTIVES

Positive incentives are those incentives which provide a positive assurance for fulfilling the needs and wants.
Positive incentives generally have an optimistic attitude behind and they are generally given to satisfy the
psychological requirements of employees. For example-promotion, praise, recognition, perks and allowances,
etc. It is positive by nature.

NEGATIVE INCENTIVES

Negative incentives are those whose purpose is to correct the mistakes or defaults of employees. The purpose
is to rectify mistakes in order to get effective results. Negative incentive is generally resorted to when positive
incentive does not works and a psychological set back has to be given to employees. It is negative by nature.

For example- demotion, transfer, fines, penalties.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

 The success and the survival of any organisation are determined by the way the workers
are remunerated and rewarded

 The reward system and motivating incentives will determine the level of employees"
commitment and their attitude to work. Incentives are the compensation for doing work
well given to a worker in the form of both financial and non-financial incentives.

 For any organization to achieve its objective in any competitive society, employers
of labour must have a thorough understanding of what drives the employees to
perform efficiently and reward them accordingly.

 There is an increasing need for organizations to develop reward systems that


motivate staff to work harder.

 Monetary incentives also may motivate people to invest effort to acquire the skills needed
to perform a task so that future performance and rewards will be higher than they
otherwise would be

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The Automobile Industry in India the 10th largest in the world with an annual production of approximately 2
million units is expected to become one of the major global automotive industries in the coming years. A no. of
domestic companies produce automobiles in India and the growing presence of multinational investment, too
has led to an increase in overall growth. Following the economic reforms of 1991 the Indian Automobile
Industry has demonstrated sustained growth as a result of increased competitiveness and relaxed restrictions.

According to Mckinsey , the auto sector's drive to lower costs will push outsourcing. The auto sector could be
worth $ 375 billion by 2015, up from $ 65 million in 2002. Mckinsey thinks India could capture $ 25 billion of
this amount. Out of 400 Indian Suppliers, 80 percent have the ISO 9000 certificate- the international standard
for quality management. The production of automobiles in India largely aimed at local consumers

Several Indian manufacturers also export a diverse variety of auto components. Indian passenger vehicles
exports are also expected to rise from 1, 70,000 in 2006 to 5,00,000 in 2010. Tiku (2008) predicts a sale of 4.2
million four wheeler automobiles in India by 2015.

The Indian Automobile Industry is going through a technological change where such firm is engaged in
changing its processes and technologies to sustain the competitive advantage and provide customers with the
optimized products and services. Starting from the two wheelers, trucks and tractors to the multi utility
vehicles, commercial vehicles and the luxury vehicles, the Indian automobile industry has achieved tremendous
amount of success in the recent years. Development started as early as the 17th century with the invention of
the first steam-powered vehicle, which led to the creation of the first steam-powered automobile capable of
human transportation, built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnotin 1769. Inventors began to branch out at the start of the
19th century, creating the de Rivas engine, one of the first internal combustion engines, and an early electric
motor. Samuel Brown later tested the first industrially applied internal combustion engine in 1826.

The Ford Model T (foreground) and Volkswagen Beetle (background) are among the most mass-produced car
models in history.

Development was hindered in the mid-19th century by a backlash against large vehicles, yet progress continued
on some internal combustion engines. The engine evolved as engineers created two- and four-cycle combustion
engines and began using gasoline as fuel. Production vehicles began appearing in 1887, when Carl Benz,
developed a petrol or gasoline-powered automobile and made several identical copies.

Recent automobile production is marked by the Ford Model T, created by the Ford Motor Company in 1908,
which became the first automobile to be mass-produced on a moving assembly line.

The modern era is normally defined as the 40 years preceding the current year. The modern era has been one of
increasing standardisation, platform sharing, and computer-aided design- to reduce costs and development time
and of increasing use of electronics for both engine management and entertainment systems. Some particular
contemporary developments are the proliferation of front- and all-wheel drive, the adoption of the diesel engine,
and the ubiquity of fuel injection. Most modern passenger cars are front-wheel-drive monocoque or uni-body
designs, with transversely mounted engines.

Body styles have changed as well in the modern era. Three types, the hatchback, sedan, and sport utility vehicle,
dominate today's market. [citation needed] All originally emphasized practicality, but have mutated into today's
high-powered luxury crossover SUV, sports wagon[ and two-volume Large MV. The rise of pickup trucks in
the United States and SUVs worldwide has changed the face of motoring with these "trucks" coming to
command more than half of the world automobile market. citation needed] There was also the introduction of
the MPV class (smaller non-commercial passenger minivans), among the first of which were the French
Renault Espace and the Chrysler minivan versions in the United States.

The modern era has also seen rapidly improving fuel efficiency and engine output. The automobile emissions
concerns have been eased with computerised engine management systems.

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 cut almost a third of light vehicle sales from Chrysler, Toyota, Ford, and
Nissan. It also subtracted about a fourth of Honda's sales and about a seventh of sales from General Motors.

Since 2009, China has become the world's largest car manufacturer with production greater than Japan, the
United States, and all of Europe. Besides the increasing car production in Asian and other countries, there has
been growth in transnational corporate groups, with the production of transnational automobiles sharing the
same platforms as well as badge engineering or re-badging to suit different markets and consumer segments.

Since the end of the 20th century, several award competitions for cars and trucks have become widely known,
such as European Car of the Year, Car of the Year Japan, North American Car of the Year, World Car of the
Year, Truck of the Year, and International Car of the Year.

EVOLUTION OF INDIAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

In 1953, the government of India and the Indian Private Sector initiated manufacturing processes to help
develop the automobile industry, which had emerged by the 1940s in a nascent form. Between 1970 to the
economic liberalization of 1991, the automobile industry continued to grow at a slow pace due to major
government restrictions. A no. of Indian manufacturers entered the Indian market ultimately leading to the
establishment of Maruti Udyog. A no. of foreign firms initiated joint ventures with Indian Companies.

CAR MANUFACTURERS IN INDIA

Hindustan Motors, Maruti Udyog, Reva Electric Car Company, Daimler Chrysler India Private Limited, Fiat
India Private Limited, Ford India Limited, General Motors India, Honda Siel Cars India Limited, Tota Kirloskar
Motor Limited, Skoda Auto India Private Limited, AUDI AG, BMW, Chevrolet, Force Motors, Nissan Motor
Company limited, Porsche, Rolls-Royce Motor, Son Motors, Tata Motors, Daewoo Motors.

SMALL CAR INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The small car segment is one of the largest car segments in India. Small car in India is defined as a car that has
length between the ranges of 3.8 to 4 meters. It comprises of nearly two-third of the sales in the country. This
car segment has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years in the wake of growing economy, more
dispensable income and growing richer middle class. The new bread of young executives with fatter pay-checks
has led to more purchasing power. Young India s booming and auto industry is baking under the sun. By the
year 2010, India with major car makers making their foray in India and India will have small cars from General
Motors, VM,Fiat, Ford, Toyota, Honda etc.

Maruti Suzuki is the uncrowned king of the small car industry in India. It has already made India as its
manufacturing and exports hub for its small cars. It also has one of largest product portfolios in India amongst
all the other car makers. It is the largest auto maker in India by sales and has various models like Alto, Wagon-
R, Zen, 800 and Swift. Each car has made its mark in the small car segment with its unique features and price
factor.

Maruti has made India as its small car manufacturing and export hub. It caters to the overseas demands of
Suzuki models worldwide. Hyundai is the second largest auto manufacturer in India and has also made India as
its manufacturing and export hub. It currently has its manufacturing plant in Sriperumbudur, near Chennai,
with an existing capacity of 6,00,000 units. It is planning to expand its production capacity by nearly another
1,00,000 units. Hyundai has strong sales figures in India and has witnessed more than 40 percent growth in the
first four month of 2008 itself. It has strong contenders for the small car segment like Santro, Getz and i-10.

INDIAN AUTOMOBILE SECTOR: - A BOOMING MARKET

De-licensing in 1991 has put the Indian automobile industry on a new growth track attracting foreign auto
giants to set up their production facilities in the country to take advantage of various benefits it offers. This took
the Indian automobile production from 5.3 million units in 2001-02 to 10.8 million units in 2007-08. The other
reasons attracting global auto manufacturers to India are the country's large middle class population, growing
earning power, strong technological capability and availability of trained manpower at competitive prices.

In 2006-07 the Indian automobile industry provided direct employment to more than 30,000 people exported
auto component worth around US $ 2.87 Billion and contributed 5% to the GDP. Due to this large contribution
of the industry n the national economy, the Indian government lifted the requirement of forging joint ventures
for foreign companies which attracted global to the Indian market to establish their plants, resulting in
heightened automobile production.

The Indian automobile market currently dominated by two-wheeler segment but in future, the demand for
passenger cars and commercial vehicles will increase with industrial development. Also, as India has low
vehicle presence (with passenger car stock of only around 11 per 1,000 population in 2008), it possesses
substantial potential for growth.

MARUTI UDYOG LIMITED (MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LTD.)

Maruti Suzuki India Limited is a publicly listed automaker in India. It is a leading four-wheeler automobile
manufacturer in South Asia. Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan holds a majority stake in the company. It was
the first automobile company in India to mass produce and sell more than million cars. It is largely credited for
having brought in on automobile evolution to India. It is the market leader in India. On 17th Sep, 2007 Maruti
Udyog was renamed to Maruti Suzuki India Limited. The Company's headquarters remain in Gurgaon near
Delhi. Maruti Udyog Ltd. is the first automobile company in the world to be honored with an ISO 9000:2000
certificate.

EVOLUTION OF MARUTI UDYOG LTD (MSIL)

Maruti Udyog was basically formed to cater the problems of insufficient public transport capability of the
Government. During the early 80's, India was facing tremendous problems regarding public transport. And there
was no possible solution to curb this problem. The Indian markets were yet to be opened globalization, hence,
there were very few car manufacturers in the country. However, the need for an alternative was becoming very
necessary, when the Government of India through an Act of Parliament formed Maruti Udyog Ltd. in 1981.

After this, a joint venture agreement was signed by the Government of India and Suzuki Motor Company (now
Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in October 1982.There are almost 307 showrooms across 189 cities. They
are managed by almost 6000 trained personnel. MUL has always concerned about the quality of their services
and products. Accordingly, it has been seen that Maruti owners experience very minimum problems as
compared to other car manufactures of India. Another important aspect of Maruti India is that they provide all
kinds of services and products under one roof.Maruti 800 one of the first city cars, is the largest selling car in
India. Recently Maruti 800 went through some minor face lifts to maintain its dominance in the small segment
cars. Maruti Alto is India's most popular and fuel efficient car.

The maintenance cost of Maruti Vehicles is also low as compared to other manufactures. This is one of the
major USP's of MUL. Even technologically they have attained a benchmark. They have introduced the superior
16*4 Hypertech engines in almost all their models. This technology helps in increasing engine delivery. They
have also introduced Electronic Power Steering in some of their models as well. MUL has here fully integrated
production facilities with a range of 10 models in 50 variants. Their overall sales growth is of 15.8%, which also
makes easier for the Indian to buy cars.

Other successful small and big Maruti Car Models that have ruled the hearts of million of Indians are Maruti
baleno, Maruti Esteem, Maruti Gypsy, Maruti Swift, Maruti Versa, Maruti Wagon-, Maruti Zen, Zen Estilo and
A-star. Maruti was born as a government company with Suzuki as a minor partner to make a people's car for
middle class India over the years, product range of Maruti has widened, ownership has changed hands and the
customer has evolved. MUL's parent company Suzuki Motor Corporation has been a global leader in the mini
and compact cars for three decades.

Chrish J. Berger and Donald P. schwab (1989) studied on pay incentives and pay satisfaction. The study
consists of two types or nay system ie. houriy based and performance based. The payment on latter one was
delivered on two ways ic. a continuous schedule and variable ratio schedule. Their research findings shows
incentives pay does not have direct impact on pay satisfaction and even the variable ratio does not show
negative impact on satisfaction. The study is limited to 77 part time employees.

Entwistle (1987) propounded that rewarded employees have ahigh degree of motivation and it directly impacts
their performances.

Lawler (1985) claimed that rewards leads to increased employees satisfaction and will have a direct impact on
employee's performance.

Hong (1995) proposed that rewards might motivate employees only when they yield rewards due to their
sincere and hard work.

H. Barum et al. (1995) study on incentives and provider payment methods, has realized that there is no single
optimal method for paying providers and therefore desirability of a specific approach depends on the economic,
social and institutional context of a particular setting.

Lazear (2000) confirmed that when salary increases, most of the employees diligently dispose of their duties.

Fairbank and Williams (2001) suggested that to stimulate an employee's creativity.

Schaufeli (2002) found out the need for the rewards in an organization so as to avoid burnouts the situation in
which employees tend to be not satisfied; will have negative outlooks and a little dedication. Well performed
employees should be incentivized with monetary compensation, which is an easier and the best way to
encourage employees so as to effective and efficient managers should use rewards.

Bates (2003) indicated that merit pay could be made as an attractive factor provided the merit pay rise should be
not less than seven percent of the core pay so that it can be perceived as a motivating factor.

Perry, Mesch, and Paarlberg (2006) found that in public sector organizations, financial incentives for
individuals is not that much effective; however, they stated that it depends on the organizational conditions.
Every individual employee may not consider merit pay as a motivating.

Kube, Marechal, and Puppe (2006) confirmed that monetary incentives are effective during the short-term
period and noting the long-term period whereas non-monetary incentives give significant and consistent
satisfaction.

Dale S. Rose et al. (April 2007) Study on a penny for your thoughts: Monetary Incentives Improve Response
Rates for company sponsored employee surveys. The findings state that there was a remarkably improvement in
employees response with increased incentives. It concludes that prepaid monetary incentives in employees
survey can reduced the cost of survey research.

Sonawane (2008) stated that it is not only important for their cognizing good job performances through rewards
but also should be encouraged through providing proper feedback.

Lemieux, MacLeod, and Parent (2009) performance pay based on a good performance measure can increase
qualitative productivity.

Muralidharan and Sundararaman (2009) claimed that the incentive payment is directly related to the
employees' output, which accelerates their performances.

Danish and Usman (2010) opined that proper usage of rewards as a tool in an organization would produce a
conducive environment so as the employees gets motivated and rise to the occasion.

Pardupa Martin (2010) study on monetary and Nonmonetary incentive measures: which work better in the
Czech betting firm reveals that there is a positive effect of the introduction of the monetary incentives than
nonmonetary incentives.

Marwan AINsour (2012) Organizational study on relationship between incentives and performance for
employees in the Jordanian university. In this milestone study, it is found that financial incentives ranked in first
place while moral incentives ranked in second place. His research findings makes it clear that there is a high
level of organizational performance, customer satisfaction ranked in first place, internal business process in the
second place followed by learning and growth. It concludes that there is a powerful relationship between
financial incentives and moral incentives and o organizational performance as well as between financial and
moral incentives and internal business process and customer satisfaction and in doing so, suggest that there is an
effect of moral incentives on learning and growth but no relationship between financial incentives and learning
and growth

Monetary Rewards and Teacher The study considered three dimensions of monetary reward i.e. salary,
allowances, benefit to examine the relationship between monetary rewards and teaches performance in selected
public schools in Kano state, Nigeria. The study shows that teacher preferred allowances as top priority because
it accounts for more variation especially in teacher performance. It also concludes that monetary rewards
significantly affect teacher's performance.

successful accomplishments.

Md. Nurun Nabi et al. (2017) A case study of Karmasangsthan Bank Limited, n impact of motivation on
employee performances, describes that for any organization to run smoothly and without interruption, there is a
need of good relationship with employees and top management and among employees. The factors considered
in the study are extrinsic motivation, job enrichment and performance appraisal, Relationships and security,
authority to make decisions; growth opportunity and prospects were also considered. It concludes that if
employees are positively motivated, it increases performance of employee. The researchers failed to mention the
employee's priority of motivation factor which is considered in the study.

CONCLUSION

It is very clear that the management needs to recognize the right kind of monetary incentive to their staff so that
the employees get highly motivated to put their best effort towards completing their jobs. This will enhance
employees' loyalty towards the organization, encouraging them to be more productive with job satisfaction. So it
is recommended to introduce monetary incentive policy in the College as an active agent towards success.
Further, the research confirms that the employees of the College are not always looking for financial benefits.
However, Managers should consider offering monetary incentives so as to improve their performances.

Monetary incentive has a direct impact on employee motivationie.an attractive financial incentive will boost
most of the employees' motivation to work hard.

Therefore, it can be predicted that the employees prefer and expect monetary incentives.

Financial incentives are the best option to motivate employees for excellent performance in the organization
and they affect the motivation level of employees in a significant manner. Salary increase has been rated as the
incentive factor that motivates the employees most followed by recognition, healthcare and promotion leave.
