McCoy, Campbell and Cuedeck as cited in Milkovich and Newman (2004, p.258) states that the employee performance depends on three conventional factors which are skills, knowledge and motivation. The latter factor, motivation has an important role in increasing the individual performance because of linking pay with performance. Perry, Engbers and Jun (2009) state that the employees would work harder because their financial rewards could result from their rising efforts. This argument is based on several motivational theories which agree that increasing salaries or bonuses are one instrument to encourage each employees performing well. This is also supported by Huselid as cited in Milkovich and Newman (2004, p.277) who found that there are a credible evidence of increasing performance from the implementation of pay-for-performance system in 3,000 companies.

Due to the high organizational expectations, the right people are being hired to fill strategic positions (IIona and Evelina, 2013). Employees that are more devoted to their organizations are well equipped and aware of necessary knowledge, skills and experience to create unique solutions for customers (Harris, 2000).

1.3 Ways to improve efficiency Employee Morale To improve efficiency of the organisational chart, the organisation have to keep the employee morale high. This helps to keep the structure together as productivity will elevate and employees may come up with new ideas to increase efficiency.

Even if resources were unlimited, it would be difficult to stipulate your ideal salary. Intuitively, one would think that higher pay should produce better results, but scientific evidence indicates that the link between compensation, motivation and performance is much more complex. In fact, research suggests that even if we let people decide how much they should earn, they would probably not enjoy their job more.

Teamwork: Teamwork in a company is vital for the success of a company. Financial incentives like bonuses can inhibit teamwork since under such schemes, individuals may be rewarded rather than teams. For example, several firms give bonus on bases of the amount of work performed by the individual (Roland, 2003). This means that employees would eventually learn to hoard work than to share it for the welfare of the organisation and in this way, the overall productivity of the company may be affected. Burn-out of employees: Another disadvantage associated with the financial reward system is that it may lead to physical and moral burnout where the employees may work extra hours to earn the money and may eventually be frustrated by the monotony of the work situation.
