Abstract
The theory of incentives has been developing rapidly, becoming mature, and widely used in management, sociology, etc.. However, up to now, there is not a unified, generally accepted theoretical model. In this study, we designed two behavioral experiments—incentives one and punishments one to try to find out the difference of performance results between the motivated and punished. We get the results from these two behavioral experiments to develop the unified model of incentives and punishments as a commercial, contractual one by using the method of cost-benefit combined with the consideration of irrational, social, psychological factors, and try to put it into practice in the enterprise management. As a conclusion, basically, we prefer incentives to punishments for employees in the corporation.
