Research opportunities
The relationship between financial incentive schemes offered to members of an organisation, and their level of customer orientation. Although the practice of incentivising people to work towards personal, departmental and/or organisational goals is commonplace, the existing literature shows such schemes often have unexpected and at times, undesirable impacts.
Organisations need to provide high levels of customer service to ensure they satisfy and retain those customers. Therefore, any impact from an incentive scheme on people's disposition to offer good service could significantly impact organisational success. Thus increasing our understanding of how these two areas interact would be a valuable addition to current knowledge.
