On murdered by rewards:
I think that any psychologist will tell you and I am not one, that it is
locus of control which is important and also how the person "perceives"
the control. If I want what I get, you may be in control, but I perceive
control as I receive my reward.
Just a thought,
Is Michael LeBoeuf on this list? In his research and book, Greatest
Management Principle: What gets rewarded gets done! Interesting contrast
as well as a statement of our condition.<g>
