Althou h extrinsic monetary rewards have been 'shown to increase wor k performance, they have been criticized on the grounds that they may also decrease an employee's intrinsic motivation, leading to decreased quality, creativity, and a loss of selfdetermination. Stated more behav~orally, extrinsic rewards may usurp the control of intrinsic rewards and permanently decrease their reinforcing value. This study, a replication of Mawhinney, Dickinson and Taylor (1989), used concurrent schedules to assess the effects of extrinsic rewards; a procedure that enables an assessment of the degree to which extrinsic rewards usurp control of intrinsic rewards during reward administration. Unlike the results of Mawhinney et at., extrinsic monetary rewards usurped control of the intrinsic rewards for six of eight experimental subjects. Similar to Mawhinney et al., the extrinsic rewards did not weaken the reinforcing value of the intrinsic rewards as indicated by subject performance following extrinsic reward termination...
