Abstract

The development of an enterprise is inseparable from the contribution of its employees. Research on employee engagement and investment has become a hot topic in academic circles. Many scholars use performance compensation as a pre-factor variable for work engagement to study the relationship between the two. In fact, through combing the literature, we also find that performance pay can be indirectly applied to work engagement through the intermediary variable of work motivation. This paper constructs a conceptual model of the relationship between performance pay and work engagement with internal motivation and external motivation as the intermediary variable. The internal relationship between performance pay and work engagement is further studied, in order to provide theoretical guidance for enterprises to improve their work input and achieve higher enterprise performance in management practice.
