Firestone, William A.; Pennell, James R.
Review of Educational Research, v63 n4 p489-525 Win 1993
This article develops a framework for assessing how differential incentive policies affect teacher commitment and identifies key workplace conditions contributing to commitment. The framework is used to assess effects of such differential incentive policies as merit pay and career ladders. Increasing participation, collaboration, and feedback is advocated over differential incentives. (SLD)
