have led to some hypotheses relating the consistency of output of industrial operators to the adequacy of the financial incentives in their work situations. These hypotheses are:[1] . . . the incentives to work may be considered ineffective when the ratio of the range of intraindividual differences is greater than the ratio of the range of interindividual differences (Rothe, 1946, p. 326).[2] ... if the intercorrelation of output rates for two periods closely related in time is less than .70, the incentivation is not highly effective, while intercorrelation higher than .80 indicates effective incentivation (Rothe & Nye, 1958, p. 185).
