What is linking appraisal to pay?Show answer
Firms often link appraisal to performance-related pay (PRP). This can sharpen focus and reward top performers, but it has serious risks: per Herzberg, pay is largely a hygiene factor with limited lasting motivational effect; tying pay to ratings can distort behaviour (staff chase measured targets, neglect quality and teamwork, or game the system); and it can turn a developmental conversation into a defensive negotiation, undermining honest feedback. So coupling pay tightly to appraisal often weakens appraisal's developmental value.
