Dan Pink's Drive
Presenting the idea around his new book Drive. You will be surprised how the science of motivation works.
The main key is that rewards often don't work on 21st century jobs. Most cognitive problems aren't strictly defined to have a set of rules and a simple solution, they require thinking beyond functional focus as described in The Candle problem.
The reward narrows our focus and restricts possibilities, when we actually need an open sight to solve this problem. So awkwardly enough.. promising rewards to such problems harm to the productivity and creativity instead of gaining performance. We get poorer performance..
Bonuses will improve productivity, if the task involves mechanical skills only.
The most famous in this utopia is Google Inc. Google offers their employees 20 % of their time to work at anything they want. About half of Google's products (such as Gmail, Google News, ..) are born in this 20 % "spare" time.
