Evaluate the four popular reward systems used to motivate employees from the standpoint of their likely contribution to profitability in an organization.Be sure to clarify any assumptions that you make in developing your answer.

Answers to this question may vary from relatively superficial to highly detailed.Better answers will clearly identify the advantages and disadvantages of each of the four reward systems to an organization (minimally integrating material from Table 7.3 and 7.4 of the text),and will integrate some of the decision criteria for choosing among alternative reward systems from Figure 7.3 in the text.Better answers will clearly articulate assumptions that allow meaningful conclusions to be drawn regarding the likely impact on profitability of each of the four reward systems.
A very simple framework for an answer is provided below,though this should be fleshed out significantly through critical thinking on the part of the student.
