Abstract

Today, organizations use teams as primary work units adopting team rewards and incentives in which group members' pay is at least partly contingent on measurable group performance. It is the process of compensating a group of employees based on their combined contribution to a particular project or goal. They could be monetary (for example: team bonuses, team commission, shopping vouchers for each team member, etc.) and nonmonetary (team celebration--gateaway bonding activity, team dinner, tickets to a sports event etc., team trip/holiday--may include spouses, team merchandise--team jacket, pin, emblem to build team identity, recognition certificates, team recognition award--public mention and appreciation, team time off away from work). This chapter overviews the empirical research on team-based bonuses and aims to understand if cultural dimensions can interfere or facilitate the diffusion of bonus for teams and suggests directions for future research. The analysis demonstrates that culture may play a critical role in the success of team-based reward programs or in the employee resistance to teams.
