I'm curious about this.
money does not motivate the wrong people to do the right things. more money is not necessary when you hire the right people who are intrinsically driven to do better at everything. it would really depend on what they are doing and how fair incentive systems could be set up to evenly and fairly reward those who excel and not those who don't.

but paying people more money wiht the idea that it will motivate them to do better is a VERY bad idea. it will never work. better to fire those people and keep looking for replacements.
