At low output the differences example of psychosocial stimuli in every-day are small and scarcely apparent to the worker, life but at high output they provide a powerful stim- 6.1.1 Some general considerations on payment by ulus to the worker to increase his output more results and more (ILO 1951). One of the factors inherent in modern working Apart from these schemes there are bonus sys- life that is most often claimed to induce stress tems where a major part of the income is paid and distress in employees is payment by results, in salary form, to which is added a small bonus i.e. piece-wages of one type or another. For this for each piece of work accomplished. This bonus reason, and in order to study whether or not may be linear, accelerating or diminishing.
