| 1. | It is accepted as a sound technique for the achievement of greater productivity | It is not considered a very good scheme in countries in the West where it is mostly prevalent. |
| 2. | For employers the need of vigorous supervision is reduced. | It tends to create tension among different workers in an organization. |
| 3. | Workers have the advantage of working in a relatively calm atmosphere because of minimum vigilance on them by the superior. | A poor performer will earn very little. |
| 4. | The incentive is directly linked with the productivity of the worker. | Tensions caused by incentive schemes would give rise to internal relations problems which would be a serious matter of concern for the management. |
| 5. | The more the worker produces the more he earns. | The tension created would eventually affect the total output. |
| 6. | Higher productivity is an important perquisite of economic development. | A great sense of understanding the problems of human relations and that of engineering is required for the smooth administration of such incentive schemes. |
