their individual performance
Especially when nowadays the concept of individual performance is total fiction - we work in teams, depend upon each other to get things done, etc. Oh wait, management knows that, which is why bonuses are more and more becoming things associated with how well your team has done. There's quite a few articles on that, I'm just to lazy as an individual to provide a link to one of them for you. But the more interesting articles I've read about that recently point to the psychology of "team bonuses" - and the quite fascinating point that the concept works best when there is transparency regarding who is not performant. :laugh:
