In this study the effects of three key factors (affect, loyalty, and contribution) of the manager-subordinate exchange relationship on two types of reward decision (monetary rewards and nonmonetary incentives) were examined. A policy-capturing approach of 2×2×2 within-subjects of scenario experiment design was used to examine the effects of the exchange relationship factors on the corporate manager's reward decision in terms of a Taiwan-US comparison. Total valid samples were received from 204 Taiwanese and 172 U.S. managers. The results showed that Taiwanese managers allocate more rewards to subordinates with a closer affective relationship than do U.S. managers. Conversely, U.S. managers allocate more rewards to higher contributing subordinates than do Taiwanese managers. The limitations of the research are discussed and suggestions for further research are proposed.

In recent years, lower rates of return for household-based travel surveys have become a reality. It may be difficult to collect enough data for effective transportation planning. Various incentive methods have been used to induce survey recipients to participate fully. Incentive methods will be described (along with other factors affecting rates of return), and their apparent effect on rates of return discussed. It appears that monetary incentives sent with survey materials are most effective in increasing return rates; nonmonetary incentives offered with survey packets are somewhat less effective. The data are inconclusive regarding monetary and nonmonetary incentives offered as a reward upon completion of surveys.

Empirical research in economics has begun to explore the idea that workers care about nonmonetary aspects of work. An increasing number of economic studies using survey and experimental methods have shown that nonmonetary incentives and nonpecuniary aspects of one’s job have substantial impacts on job satisfaction, productivity, and labor supply. By drawing on this evidence and relating it to the literature in psychology, this paper argues that work represents much more than simply earning an income: for many people, work is a source of meaning. In the next section, we give an economic interpretation of meaningful work and emphasize how it is affected by the mission of the organization and the extent to which job design fulfills the three psychological needs at the basis of self-determination theory: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. We point to the evidence that not everyone cares about having a meaningful job and discuss potential sources of this heterogeneity. We sketch a theoretical framework to start to formalize work as a source of meaning and think about how to incorporate this idea into agency theory and labor supply models. We discuss how workers’ search for meaning may affect the design of monetary and nonmonetary incentives. We conclude by suggesting some insights and open questions for future research.
