In general, incentives are anything that persuade a person[1] or organization[2] to alter their behavior to produce the desired outcome. The laws of economists and of behavior state that higher incentives amount to greater levels of effort and therefore higher levels of performance.[3] For comparison, a disincentive is something that discourages from certain actions.
