This study examined the effects of different percentages of incentive pay on the performance of a simulated work task when the opportunities for off-task behaviors were available. The independent variable was the percentage of incentive pay. Three percentages of incentive pay were examined: 0%, 30%, and 50%. An alternating treatment design was adopted. The three experimental conditions were randomly alternated for each participant, each experimental condition being administered seven times for the whole experiment. Participants were 4 college students. Participants performed a simulated work task on the computer that consisted of computer-related activities such as dragging, clicking, and typing. The dependent variables were the number of correctly completed work tasks and the amount of idle time (time spent for engaging in off-task behaviors). The results indicated that the performance under the 30% and 50% incentive conditions were significantly higher than that under the 0% condition. However, performance under the 30% and 50% conditions did not differ statistically. Also, the amount of idle time under the 0% condition was higher than that under the 30% and 50% conditions, while the amount of idle time under the 30% and 50% conditions did not differ statistically. In addition, it was revealed that performance was significantly correlated with the amount of idle time(r=-.983). The results suggest that more realistic simulation is necessary to examine the effects of different percentages of incentive on work performance.
