"To summarize, using money to motivate people can be a double-edged sword. For tasks that require cognitive ability, low to moderate performance-based incentives can help. But when the incentive level is very high, it can command too much attention and thereby distract the personâ€™s mind with thoughts about the reward. This can create stress and ultimately reduce the level of performance."

-- Dan Ariely
