Taking a Look at Negative Incentives

Negative incentives are behaviors that interfere with actions or resolve unpleasant behaviors. One of the most common negative motives is monetary penalty. My past work, Ace Hardware, was working on profit sharing. Profit sharing is the distribution of profits among employees. Sharing of profits is a positive motivation, but whenever work is threatened, there is a tendency to prosper in the workplace. Once I gave the wrong price on the metal board when I worked at Ace hardware. And the company lost its profit.

It has been shown that monetary incentives can help change behavior, whether negative (sugar tax, rising tobacco prices etc) or plus (such as work cycle plan or vitality reward program). However, they are opportunistic behavior (not including people recycling work anyway, how many additional riders compared to the planned cost, what does the cycle work plan bring?) And It is not too long in the long run. Incentives may encourage habit formation as incentives are eliminated as incentives depend on external motives rather than essential motives

People react to incentives. Indicators are powerful to generate incentives. For my reading project, the motivation to read more content is wonderful. The negative impacts are largely controllable, and it is easy to give up on the indicators and do other things if they really start to hurt me (after all, I am also Seveneves, all 880 I read the page). I redesigned a website that contains almost 12 pages of almost the same content. They are all crosslinked and there are many pages on the site with redundant links to those pages. In order to clearly show the position of the link, we propose a design and link system that can be integrated into a less focused and more focused page.

When you coordinate everyone's motivation in a positive and negative way, you create a self-management system. Taleb explains Article 229 of Hammurabi Code as "the highest risk management rule ever". This is barbaric for the people of today, but we take into account certain truth. Builders know better about buildings than customers, so they can take shortcuts in a way that does not get in the way. After construction is complete, the contractor can deprive some extra benefits, and unfortunate customers unconsciously leave the dangerous house.
