Popis: The motivational influence of performance-related rewards has been highlighted in the earlier literature on Performance Measurement (PM). This paper focuses on the linkage between participation in decision-making and the success of rewarding. The study is quantitative and the empirical evidence is based on a survey that was carried out in eight companies that operated in the manufacturing industry in 2005. To ensure an overall view, the survey was conducted with all employees of the studied companies. On the basis of the statistical analysis, it can be stated that the more autonomy in work that people have, the more successful they perceive the motivational influence of rewarding. The study suggests that companies should pay attention to the autonomy of employees in their work and, thus, ensure the successful use of performance-related rewarding.
