ABSTRACT This study examines the interactive effects of task complexity and attractiveness on the effectiveness of explicit monetary incentives in promoting task performance. We provide theory for and find an interaction such that monetary incentives are more effective when tasks are less complex, but only when the task is viewed as relatively unattractive. In addition, by varying task complexity, this study extends Bailey et al. (1998), finding that when incentive pay leads to higher performance, it is through faster initial performance, not faster improvement.

This study investigates the relationship between motivation and task complexity on performance. Monetary incentives are involved in this study as a moderating variable. The motivation examined in this research is intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. A 2x2 quasi-experiment has been conducted and involving 66 university students. Two and three-way ANOVA are used for hypothetical testing. The result shows that individuals with intrinsic motivation have shown better performance than those with extrinsic motivation. After individuals have faced more complex tasks, they achieved lower scores than those who faced less complex tasks. Prior studies suggested that motivation could be destructed by monetary incentives. However, there is no interaction proof when moderating variable is involved. The relationship between motivation and performance is not influenced by monetary incentives. In line with it, the relationship between task complexity and performance is also not strengthened or weakened by the given monetary incentives information. Thus, monetary incentives failed to influence the relationship between motivation, task complexity and performance.

Abstract This article examines whether and how several audit-specific attributes influence auditor’s motivation. Following the literature, the research project focuses mainly on the impact of risk preference, task complexity and the liability situation in this issue. A 2x2 mixed-subjects case-based experiment was conducted to gain data for in-depth insights. In sum 209 master students with a major in accounting and auditing participated in the experiment. The results indicate that increased risk aversion leads to a higher observed task motivation. Regarding the task complexity, data analysis shows that increasing task complexity lowers auditor’s motivation. This study contributes to the stream of judgment and decision making literature and offers new insights in to the relationship and dependence of inherent auditor-specific factors.

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task complexity towards turnover intention in public accountant firms. The respondents of the research are junior auditors, senior auditors, supervisors, and managers in public accountant firms in Jakarta and Tangerang.  The samples were taken by non-probability sampling method by using convenience sampling. The total samples used in analysis are 130 respondents. Data analysis conducted by using multiple regressions. Data quality test in this research is validity test by using Pearson correlation, reliability test by using cronbach’s alpha, normality test using normal probability plot. Classical asumptions test in this research is multicollonierity test by using tolerance and variance inflation factor (VIF) ans heteroscedasticity test by using scatterplot.  The result of hypothesis testing showed that job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task complexity as simultaneously have significant influence towards turnover intention. Meanwhile, only job satisfaction and organizational partially has significant influence towards turnover intention. Task complexity has no significant influence towards turnover intention. Keywords: job satisfaction, organizational commitment, task complexity, turnover intention.
