Abstract
The relationship of financial incentives to performance quality and qu antity is cumulated over 39 studies containing 47 relationships. Finan cial incentives were not related to performance quality but had a corr ected correlation of .34 with performance quantity. Setting (laborator y, field, experimental simulation) and theoretical framework moderated the relationship, but task type did not.
