But that is the thing, sports contracts are far removed from everyday contracts of eomployment.



Performance bonuses [ishould[/i be in use, and for everyone from the head coach downwards.

Dangerous subject we could start going down the lines of football.Rugby is all about passion, heart, desire and pitting yourself against the best in the game. Having played in the semi pro game when on the pitch money is the last thing on your mind believe me.

they are in use above the coaching staff

Money safely kept in the bank there then

.

Going down the lines of football??.....I can't see how paying people to actually perform is dangerous





Heart and desire is fine, unless you're getting paid exactly the same wether you show it or not.

Interesting to get an inkling of people who've never been on performance related pay, and motiviating it is.

They've already singed a contract that should be ample, why provide an extra incentive.

You really dont have a clue, like quite a few on here when it comes to motivation of professionals.



Do you think St's and Leeds are not on win bonuses?

Lots of sports teams do indeed offer financial incentives but before saying people dont have a clue i think you need to read some motivational theory such as Herzberg or Maslow around a hierarchy of needs. Herzberg actually makes a pretty good arguement that money doesnt motivate people but a lack of money can de-motivate.



My own personal view is that extra incentives should never be used as motivation, basic salary and pride in a job should be enough to motivate someone, if not get rid of them.

I can guarantee 99% of these people would increase output for more wonga. Most however would probably be happy where they are

Not sure how you would guarentee that!!





FWIW if people arent performing for their basic salary they need getting rid of and replacing with someone that will.

I wouldn't disagree, however as Standee has eluded to, not that easy in sport.
