Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to draw on data from a survey research study conducted in Italy that explored the effects of performance-related pay (PRP) among 500 high school teachers. Design/methodology/approach - Survey responses studies were conducted. Findings - The results are consistent with theoretical predictions that monetary incentives for activities with a strong social impact may crowd out employee image motivation. This study documents that the use of monetary incentives is neither necessary nor desirable and the pay-for-performance does not affect the intrinsic motivation of teaching staff employees. Originality/value - This work advances the conversation on relative pay in the field of higher education in Italy.
