Abstract:

This research builds an incentive system based on the data of 140 employees in HT Trust Company, and tries to test the effect of motivation by using Management Entropy Theory. First we measure both the positive and negative entropy of each index level of the comprehensive incentive system to analyze the effectiveness and practicality of the incentive entropy model to evaluate the incentive effect and degree of collaboration. Next, we make clear how a change in the method, pathway, direction and intensity of incentive will affect the overall incentive effect. Then we reveal the collaborative trends of motivation levels at a certain moment. Given that the amelioration of incentive mechanism can be achieved through reducing the positive entropy and increasing the negative entropy to lower the total incentive entropy, timely evaluating the incentive effect can help discover loophole of the mechanism and maintain the synergy of incentives.
