First published in 1992. This collection is devoted to trying to provide a better understanding of pay for performance. The volume includes an excellent history, a notable long-term success story that is at least partly based on pay for performance, a discussion of the source of some of the misunderstandings, a review of some of the better research on the subject, and some promising research developments.
