Abstract

This article presents information on a study which suggests a possible reconciliation of the conflicting findings on the relationship between extrinsic feedback and employee responses by incorporating the nature of task as a moderator variable. It infers that the conflicting findings on the relationship between extrinsic feedback and employee response may be caused by a failure to incorporate the nature of a given task. It also states that the use of extrinsic feedback is contingent upon the nature of the employee's task when considering employee satisfaction and internal motivation.
