"The articles in this collection represent the wide spectrum of views of leading scholars and practitioners interested in motivation and performance appraisal. Some of the diversity can be attributed to the fact that the articles have been written over a 30-year period during which much has been learned about the topics. However, it would be a mistake to assume that controversy no longer exists. The readers of this volume will be exposed to and, it is hoped, will participate in a lively debate concerning motivation and performance appraisal-issues of fundamental importance to management". -Victor H.
