Abstract:This article presents two field studies and a laboratory study that examined the influence of reward for high performane on experienced performance pressure, intrinsic interest and creativity. Study 1 shows that employees' expected reward for high performance was positively related to performance pressure, which in turn was positively related to the employees' interest in their jobs. Study 2 revealed that intrinsic interest, produced by performance pressure, was positively related to supervisors' ratings of creative performance. Whereas study 3 indicated that college students' receipt of reward for high performance increased their experienced performance pressure which, in turn, was positively related to intrinsic interest and creativity.
