Master Thesis: „Employee Performance Incentives: Theory and Practice”. Theoretical and practical aspects of methods and means of employee performance incentives in Lithuania and the chosen foreign countries were discussed in this project. Social and psychological factors influencing the process of incentives were derived in terms of actual Lithuanian laws, court practice and law doctrine. Main means of incentives, the conditions and order of usage of those means were derived, advantages and disadvantages of separate means of incentives were evaluated, the main employee performance material and immaterial incentives and the possibilities of their application in practice were excluded using the Comparative Method. Systems of incentives actual in various countries and the application practice of employee performance incentives used in foreign countries were analyzed as well. Description, Analysis and Comparative Methods were used by seeking to achieve the aim of the project. Special attention was paid to the Comparative and Analysis Methods, because every analyzed question was compared to the laws, court practice and law doctrines of foreign countries regulating similar legal relationships. Thesis consists of three parts. The concept, descent and influencing factors of the definition „incentives“ were discussed in the first part (Theory part) and the means of employee performance incentives derived in Lithuanian Civil Code and substatutory law acts were analyzed here as well. The position of Lithuanian courts concerning the employee performance incentives was also discussed in the project. Advantages and disadvantages of the systems of incentives were excluded here as well. Material and immaterial means of employee performance incentives and the possibilities to adopt them in the companies have been analyzed in the second part. Labor laws, law doctrine and court practice concerning employee performance incentives of foreign countries such as the USA, United Kingdom, France, Check Republic, Romania and Russia were derived and compared with Lithuanian laws in the third part of the project. |
