| The performance-based payment system in the national period of compulsory education meant the priority of education development. If this system worked well, it would benefit the development of education in China.This study was about the actual incentive effects of performance-based pay system. It was about the research of four junior high schools in H city, Anhui Province by questionnaires, interviews and other research methods. I summarized many questions on the actual incentive effects of teachers’ performance-based pay system.It found that most of the teachers were understood about performance-based payment system, but they were not comprehensive. The phenomenon about occasionally wage arrears exited in few schools. Most teachers felt that income was higher than before. Upon the enthusiasm, 50% of the teachers felt almost as before and 41.1% of the teachers felt less active. Only 8.9% of the teachers thought their enthusiasm had improved. A considerable number of teachers were not satisfied with their performance-based payment system. Though the teacher salary level had increased, but they felt the overall salary was still low. After the implementation of performance pay, there was no obvious improvement of teachers in enthusiasm, classroom teaching reform and student management.According to these problems, the reasons were mainly the following aspects:(1) the construction of the system was imperfect and the lack of effective supervision;(2) the implementation of distribution and appraisal program was not standardized;(3) management and teachers were lack of effective communication.According to the results of research, I put forward six recommendations to the education administrative departments and school administrators:(1) popularize and enforce the laws;(2) improve the performance assessment methods;(3) distribution inclined teachers;(4) adhere to the " more pay for more work ";(5) encourage innovation;(6) strengthen supervision. |
