520 $a Conclusions, limitations of the study and recommendations for future studies are discussed.
520 $a Group financial incentive systems are widely used to stimulate work group performance. Corporations use teams to improve their competitiveness and currently spent well over $1 17 billion annually on cash, merchandise, meals, travel and other means of recognition to incentive worker's performance.
520 $a Typically, when companies employ group financial incentives, management also implements individual evaluation of team members' performance. Previous studies have not separated the effects of financial incentive and individual evaluation on team performance, and they have also failed to specify the mechanism through which financial incentives and individual evaluation affect performance. The experimental tasks used in the past were independent rather than interdependent, and either simple or both novel and complex.
520 $a This study sought to (1) identify how financial incentives alone and individual evaluation alone affect team performance, (2) specify the mediating variables through which financial incentives and individual evaluation lead to improved team performance, and (3) utilize an interdependent, complex task mirroring a rear-life task to test the Hypotheses.
520 $a One hundred and four 3-person teams of college students participated in the Desert Survival Problem, ranking 15 survival items. Team rankings were compared to an expert's rankings. The teams were given a goal of 82% correct. Teams in the financial incentive conditions were rewarded with $5 0 per person when the team met or exceeded the stated goal. Within the individual evaluation conditions, team members were monitored individually regarding their contributions to the team. Ten hypotheses were tested. Results from the 2 x 2 ANOVA indicate that financial incentives increase group performance significantly, when individual evaluation is present or absent. Contrary to expectation, individual evaluation did not improve performance; in fact, there was a small but not significant reduction in performance. The path analyses indicate that financial incentives increase team performance only through interest and utility values, and not through importance and cost values, or collective efficacy.
