Abstract
The purpose of any award or incentive/suggestion program is to induce improved or continued
excellence in job performance by regularly rewarding
employees who perform especially well. There are corollary
effect of incentive programs which can also lead to increased
production and performance. For example, if a.specific
behavior is rewarded in a desirable way, that can make for a
more goal oriented work force in that employees may work
toward meeting the specific requirements. for that reward.
In addition to influencing employees to set and reach
specific goals, awards and incentive programs increase
employee morale thus enhancing. productivity and
effectiveness.
Morale is an important factor influencing productivity.
According to Personnel Magazine, May 1990, even though cash
awards to employees are appreciated, actual gifts from
a catalogue, for example, provide something tangible and
lasting that can remind employees that they are appreciated.
This may not be considered economically feasible for all
Wayne County divisions. Since Detroit Metropolitan Airport
is not completely independent, airport administration will
have to assess the feasibility with regard to cost and
availability of possible cash or non-cash rewards for award
winners.
