However, with regard to organizational assets in a modern context, manpower is a source of organizational core competitiveness. As such, the question of how to stimulate staff to achieve their maximum potential and fully demonstrate their organizational performance is the most important issue, which organizations face in order to survive in fast-paced and competitive environments. Here, we will discuss the effect of incentive systems on the job performance of medical organization staff, and hope to further understand whether incentive systems affect worker performance as a result of emotional labor and employee engagement.

The results of this study show that incentive systems can be used to increase medical organization staff’s job performance, in addition to increasing employee’s emotional labor and professional commitment. These improvements, in turn, will increase employee morale, employee identification with organizational values, and willingness to expend greater effort for the organization. Furthermore, this will allow staff to provide more professional medical services to patients with positive attitudes and emotions, and may contribute to future academic and medical organization development.
