This paper presents incentive application strategies and delay prevention strategies as schematic approaches to improve time performance of highway construction contracts. This research recognizes the importance of improving time performance during highway construction. Strategic solutions of the most core issues on time performance incentive contracting are identified. The suggested incentive application strategies develop criteria for applying time classification to projects, for assigning project time classifications to contractors and designers, and for determining appropriate incentive values in A (cost) + B (time cost) and other performance incentive contracts. The suggested delay prevention strategies develop criteria for determining the appropriate subsurface utility engineering (SUE) level and to develop best practices for avoiding utility relocation delays. A schematic approach for each strategy is developed. This paper also introduces current incentive contracting practices in Florida. The researchers obtained the information from experienced persons in the highway construction industry, including key highway contractors, designers, and Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) personnel. The major focus of this research is to develop strategies and suggest approaches to improve time performance of highway construction contracts. For future study, practical tools to facilitate implementation of the suggested strategies should be developed, so that the criteria, implementation processes, and best practices developed may contribute to the current industry-wide effort to improve time performance.

Background: In comparison with other industries, the construction industry still has a higher rate of fatal injuries, and thus, there is a need to apply new and innovative approaches for preventing accidents and promoting safe conditions at construction sites. Methods: In this study, the effectiveness of a new incentive system-the surprising incentive system-was assessed. One year after the implementation of this new incentive system, behavioral changes of employees with respect to seven types of activities were observed. Results: The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between the new incentive system and the safety performance of frontline employees. The new incentive system had a greater positive impact in the first 6 months since its implementation. In the long term, however, safety performance experienced a gradual reduction. Based on previous studies, all activities selected in this study are important indicators of the safety conditions at workplaces. However, there is a need for a comprehensive and simple-to-apply tool for assessing frontline employees' safety performance. Shortening the intervals between incentives is more effective in promoting safety performance. Conclusion: The results of this study proved that the surprising incentive would improve the employees' safety performance just in the short term because the surprising value of the incentives dwindle over time. For this reason and to maintain the surprising value of the incentive system, the amount and types of incentives need to be evaluated and modified annually or biannually.

In cost-only incentive contract the emphasis is the attainment of efficient and effective cost control. In contrast multiple incentives contract correlates contractor's profit motives with the generalized government objective function, the decision variables of which are performance or quality (technical progress), time or schedule (timely development and delivery) and the cost (efficient and effective cost control) Under multiple incentive structure, it is essential to formulate the trade-off curves between cost and performance, which are called iso-fee curves. Trade-off curves depict the combination of cost and performance achievement for which the contractor will be rewarded with the same fee. The basic function of trade-off curves is to show he the contractor will be motivated by incentive arragement to trade off or sacrifice the achievement in one incentive element for the acnievment in another.

본 연구의 목적은 상이한 성과급 분배 방식이 근로자들의 수행에 미치는 효과가 수행 피드백의 제공 여부에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지 검증하는 것이었다. 서울에 위치한 G 주유소에 근무하는 5명의 근로자들이 실험에 참여하였다. 성과급 분배 방식(동등분배 집단 성과급, 개인 성과급)과 피드백의 제공 여부가 본 연구의 독립변인으로 설정되었으며, 종속변인은 참가자들이 핵심 고객 서비스 행동 5가지를 수행한 비율이었다. ABCAB'C' 피험자 내 설계가 적용되었으며 기저선 조건(A) 후 동등분배 집단 성과급 조건(B)이 제시되었고 이어서 개인 성과급 조건(C)이 제시되었다. 철회(A) 이후 다시 동등분배 집단 성과급 + 피드백 조건(B')과 개인 성과급 + 피드백 조건(C')이 차례로 제시되었다. 연구 결과 수행에 대한 피드백이 제공되지 않는 단계에서는 개인 성과급 조건에서 동등분배 집단 성과급 조건 보다 참가자들의 수행이 더 높게 나타났다. 그러나 수행에 대한 피드백이 제공되는 단계에서는 동등분배 집단 성과급과 개인 성과급 조건 간 참가자들의 수행 차이는 나타나지 않았다.

The service industry will be essentially extended during the economic growth and industrial development. Especially, the role of workers meeting the customers in service industry is very important from the view point of purchase intention. So many companies in service industry endeavor to increase the work efficacies of workers through the various prizes and incentives, and improve the job performance by additional education. Recently, the incentive tours are comprehensively accepted as an efficient tool to promote the loyalty and job performance of workers. The incentive tours enable the worker to gain the cultural experiences. They will experience not only the natural heritages and antiques, but also the local life culture and arts culture. The culture marketing for worker as the internal customer increase the worker's loyalty and the ties among workers, and therefore, their job performance will be increased. The empirical results (162 workers surveyed) showed the incentive tours have improved both the individual and group's job performance at a cosmetic sales organization. So it is recommend to plan the organization specific incentive tour in order to improve the productivity of the service organization.

본 연구는 기업의 보상체계와 업무평가 투명성이 생산성에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 호봉제와 같이 임금테이블에 기반을 둔 보상체계는 인센티브에 기반을 둔 보상체계보다 생산성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대체로 인센티브와 생산성 간에는 양(+)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 인사고과를 개별적으로 공개하는 집단에서는 역U자와 같은 비선형의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 인센티브에 기반을 둔 보상체계라 하여도 평가시스템이 투명하지 않다면 인센티브가 생산성에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 볼 때 본 연구의 결과들은 적절한 인센티브와 업무평가 투명성이 뒷받침될 때 기업의 생산성이 향상될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Incentive/Disincentive (I/D) contract is designed for minimizing any disruption of traffic flow in road construction projects. I/D contracting projects have been evaluated with regard to time and cost performance in various states, more than 35 states. However, construction project managers and planners have little understanding of the project factors that affect the project time and cost performance of highway construction projects using I/D regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find factors that affect I/D project success or failure to improve the decision-making process for the implementation of I/D projects. In order to achieve the objectives of this research, the researchers collected I/D road construction project data from FDOT and performed evaluation for each collected project. Then, project data analysis to identify key factors that affect I/D project performance was performed. In conclusion, five significant factors for project time performance and six significant factors for project cost perfornace were identified and summarized.

The use of economic incentives to improve H&S performance in the construction industry in general, has been investigated by various scholars. However, few studies have looked at the impact of economic incentives on construction clients especially in the developing world. Therefore it was necessary to investigate specifically the impact of the economic incentive on client's H&S performance. Economic incentives are considered to be a proactive way of improving H&S performance. The investigation was conducted using a Delphi technique to determine the impact significance of the economic incentive or disincentive on construction clients' H&S performance. Findings from the study were that the economic factor had critical impact significance on clients' H&S performance. Further clients were 'very likely to' implement various H&S elements as a result of the economic incentive and disincentive. The paper will report on the findings from an analysis of impact significance of the economic incentives on clients. It will underscore the point that economic incentives or disincentives on construction clients are necessary to encourage them to actively participate in H&S performance improvement.

In the future, an increasing number of heterogeneous networks will be connected with each other. Each of them has its own interest. Existing systems lack good incentive mechanisms to attract more networks to participate in cooperations. In this paper, we design an auction-based incentive mechanism for routing protocols applied in heterogeneous networking which is computationally efficient, individually rational, profitable, and truthful. Through several simulations, we evaluate the performance and validate the properties of our mechanism.

본 논문은 저에너지 건축물 보급을 활성화하기 위하여 시행되고 있는 국내외 인센티브 제도를 비교분석하고 이를 통하여 국내 저에너지 건축물 인센티브 제도의 개선을 모색하기 위한 목적으로 한국, 캐나다, 미국, 싱가폴의 국가단위, 지방정부단위 제도를 분석 대상으로 하였다. 인센티브 제도의 체계는 1) 인센티브 종류 및 수혜자의 규정, 2)성능기준 및 평가방식의 정립, 3) 통합설계지원, 4) 재원의 확보를 근간으로 구성된다. 한국을 제외한 모든 국가들이 통합설계에 참여하는 전문가에 대한 인센티브 제도를 도입하고 있으며, 신축 중심 인센티브가 리모델링 건축물을 포함하는 방향으로 전환되고 있다. 인센티브 제도의 근간인 성능기준은 각 프로그램이 속한 국가 또는 지방정부가 규정하는 통합에너지성능분석기준에 따라 통합성능에 따른 지원이 주를 이루고 있으며, 개별 기술에 대한 지원을 보완하여 지원 범위 확대 경향을 보이고 있다. 통합 성능의 경우에도 초기 시뮬레이션에 의한 검증에서 실제 에너지사용량에 의한 검증으로 전환되어 시공품질 및 건물운영에 점차적으로 비중을 강화하고 있다. 통합 디자인 자체에 대한 지원과 자료 데이터베이스를 운영하여 성능기반 건축물 시장으로의 빠른 재편과 신산업 육성을 기대하고 있다. 안정적인 제도 운영을 위하여 재원확보가 필수적인데, 세금이 가장 일반적이고, 에너지 사업자 지원 또는 에너지 사용량에 따른 누진제를 통해 재원을 확보하는 보다 적극적인 재원확보 방안도 제시되고 있다.
