Abstract
Using contingency theory, this study examines factors that determine the presence of team rewards in a sample of 130 entrepreneurial firms (average annual sales of 30 million in 1995). As hypothesised, the growth stage of the organisational life cycle and high time commitment teams were positively related to the use of team rewards, but self-managed teams were not. A high commitment team was defined as one where the employee worked on the team on a full-time basis and with a long-term duration. The data also suggest that high time commitment teams were related to monetary rewards and low time commitment teams to non-monetary rewards.
