The prolonged debate on the effect of monetary reward on creative performance is still ongoing. Research has shown monetary rewards to have both positive and negative effects on creative performance. We contend that a person’s motivational orientation moderates the effect of monetary rewards on creative performance. An experiment was conducted showing that creative performance can be influenced...

Knowledge sharing is an important activity in virtual communities (VC). Recently, some researchers have explored various motivators that may influence VC members' contribution. Although providing rewards has been found to significantly motivate employees to share knowledge in organizational research, it also has been found to diminish intrinsic motivation and lead to reduced efforts in in some ...

This study examines the relationship between the reward system and organization’s financial performance. Data is collected through a questionnaire survey covering 105 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Data gathered is analyzed quantitatively such as linear regression analysis is adopted in order to investigate the interrelationship between research variables. Results and findings of this stu...

Reinforcement learning (RL) agents can reduce learning time dramatically by planning with learned predictive models. Such planning agents learn to improve their actions using planning trajectories, sequences of imagined interactions with the environment. However, planning agents are not intrinsically driven to improve their predictive models, which is a necessity in complex environments. This p...

Two studies investigated the influence of external rewards and social praise in young children's fairness-related behavior. The motivation of ninety-six 3-year-olds' to equalize unfair resource allocations was measured in three scenarios (collaboration, windfall, and dictator game) following three different treatments (material reward, verbal praise, and neutral response).

The problem of sparse rewards is one of the hardest challenges in contemporary reinforcement learning. Hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) tackles this problem by using a set of temporally-extended actions, or options, each of which has its own subgoal. These subgoals are normally handcrafted for specific tasks. Here, though, we introduce a generic class of subgoals with broad applicabili...
