Expectancy theory proposed by Victor Vroom in 1964 suggests that individuals are motivated to perform well by anticipating the rewards and performance recognition in the company. A person's behavior changes according to the expectations he/she has on the actions they had performed.
Companies using performance-based salaries can expect higher performance, better retention, satisfaction, productivity, quality, and morals. For best results, Pfeffer in 1998 suggests that along with performance-based salary, companies should offer higher than market average salary for better performance and productivity.
