Comparison between Chinese and Western Incentive Models

Theoretically, any ideological theory has its social, historical and cultural background. China's ancient incentive thought and western incentive thought also have a lot in common, for example, they both demand to meet people's needs and have rewards and punishments, but there are certain differences in research angles, methods and emphasis:

1, China's incentive theory came into being in feudal times, which was mainly used for governing the country and military struggle, and was a political tool of the feudal ruling class; Western incentive theory originated from the industrial revolution, serving the development of capitalist economy and focusing on enterprise management.

2. China's incentive theory pays attention to the treatment of the mind, and advocates unifying everyone's thoughts with one theory to achieve a state of unity, harmony and unity, which requires high spiritual education; However, the West didn't see the effect of spiritual encouragement until the later period, paying attention to the expression of individual talents, advocating ideological pluralism and lacking the overall organizational spirit.

3. From the theory itself, China's ancient incentive theory mostly comes from what he usually sees and thinks, and it is more intuitive to adopt a comprehensive method; The western incentive theory has matured with the development of science and technology, and the application of scientific research methods is more rigorous and in-depth, but it is only analyzed from all aspects, which is slightly mechanical.

4. China's traditional theory pays attention to human feelings, takes benevolence, righteousness and group as the center, and takes psychological feelings as the link, hoping to spread family ethics to the whole society and make the society a big family with unified ideology and morality; The west pays attention to the accumulation of wealth, ignoring the feelings between managers and employees. It was not until the later period that trade unions and other organizations were established to temporarily alleviate contradictions. It is only a means of disguised management of business owners, and its deep-seated psychological contradictions have not been solved.

5. China focuses on self-cultivation, and education and guidance form incentives. Compared with western passive control, it conforms to people's needs and is more operable.
