I think like other commenters have said, there is not much incentive to perform more than what is needed to get your salary at most places. I think this is due to the effects of government/fiat money. When you pay 50% in taxes or deductions, each incremental earning is heavily taxed to not be worth the effort, be it time or just performance.
Alternatively, it could just be sign of decadence in that people have just become lazy and expect something for nothing. Look at the rise of social security, it was shameful to be on welfare when i was growing up, now it seems the "in" thing.

That's kind of my point though. There shouldn't need to be an incentive should there? You should want to do a good job because you take pride in what you do. I guess anyway. It's definitely an interesting subject with a lot of facets.
I agree with you there. Would you be so keen to do you job on half the wages though? Many jobs are minimum wage and although I personally would still do a good job, others may not feel the same.
Yeah, that is a good point. I actually used to complain all the time that I didn't get paid enough to do certain things. I can definitely be part of the problem at times!
