Incentive is some form of motivation like payments given to the workers to improve output. Yes, I think it's good especially if the business is in a place with stiff competition. Employees will be motivated to do their work well knowing that at the end of the day/month, they have something in their pockets. But then, the state of the business matters a lot. If the business is making good profits and still the owner wants much, then he should give out some incentives. On the other hand if the business is down employees have to understand. The only problem with business nowadays is that they don't offer this motivations apart from a few. If all business could adapt this, then most businesses will succeed.
