| Abstract: | This study examined team-based financial incentives and rewards. Numerous primary studies, literature reviews, and meta-analyses were already conducted on team-based incentives, but those studies generally examined relationships between team incentives and various dependent performance variables. In this way, those studies adopted and embodied a so-called variance theory perspective. This study adopted a slightly deviant process theory perspective and examined which events occurred after implementing a team incentive system and attempted to provide an explanation for the impact of these incentives. The conduct of a qualitative research synthesis ultimately resulted in a final set of eight included studies. The qualitative process data from these studies were extracted, synthesized, and converted into a dynamic inductive model of the implementation and progression of a team incentive system. The most promising emergent concept of this qualitative research synthesis was the sense of power and control of supervisors and subordinate team members who where subjected to such a system. This sense of power and control was influenced in almost all stages before, during, and after implementation of a team incentive system and was largely responsible for the significant levels of staff turnover that were identified in the included studies. |
