A Rational Wages System Some Notes on the Method of Paying the Worker a Reward for Efficiency in Addition to Wages

"A Rational Wages System" by Henry Atkinson is a book from the early 1900s that presents a new way to pay workers, called the Reward System, to encourage them to be more productive. It speaks to the need for new management approaches in a changing industrial landscape. The book starts by explaining the problems with current wage systems that cause problems between workers and bosses following the events of the war, pressing for a more logical and efficient system. By presenting the Reward System and its focus on incentives based on production, it aims to create a fairer and more productive workplace for better relationships and conditions.
