Definition(s)

  • Incentives are motivational influences or stimuli aimed at modifying the actions of actors, organizations, or institutions. Incentives usually designate positive influences, whereas deterrents designate negative influences, but both are usually combined in an incentive system that will reward some actions and penalize others.
