Abstract Motivation crowding theories suggest that the influence of performance-based monetary incentives on performance may depend on how employees perceive the incentives. To examine the crowding-out effect, this article analyzed a panel dataset of faculty’s research published over 9 years in a Korean university, focusing on the moderating role of perceptions of incentives. We found that, as the university increased financial incentives for research performance, academic researchers who perceived the incentives as supportive published more papers in higher impact factor journals. In contrast, the quantity and quality of research performance of those who perceived such incentives as controlling were not significantly associated with the increase in the incentives. To improve the performance of the performance-incentive system with potential crowding-out effects, administrators should communicate with employees to help them perceive incentives as supportive and positive.

货币激励与动机挤出之间的协调：激励认知对研究绩效的影响

摘要 动机拥挤理论表明，基于绩效的货币激励对绩效的影响可能取决于员工对激励的看法。为了检验挤出效应，本文分析了韩国大学 9 年来发表的教师研究面板数据集，重点关注激励感知的调节作用。我们发现，随着大学增加对研究绩效的经济激励，认为激励是支持的学术研究人员在影响因子较高的期刊上发表了更多论文。相比之下，将这种激励视为控制的人的研究绩效的数量和质量与激励的增加没有显着相关性。
