Abstract
The ways that Chinese industrial enterprises motivate their workers can be analyzed according to the paradigm advanced by Katz and Kahn [1978]: rule enforcement, external rewards, and internalized motivation. Firms that intend to set up manufacturing operations in China should be knowledgeable about the nonmaterial incentives in order to put them to good use.
