A meta-analytic review of experiments examining the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of 128 studies examined the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation and found that engagement-contingent, completion-contengent, and performance-contagioning rewards significantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation, as did all rewards, all tangible rewards and all expected rewards.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of reward or reinforcement on preceding behavior depend in part on whether the person perceives the reward as contingent on his own behavior or independent of it, and individuals may also differ in generalized expectancies for internal versus external control of reinforcement.

Effects of Externally Mediated Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation.

TL;DR: Vroom et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effects of external rewards on intrinsic motivation to perform an activity and found that when money was used as an external reward, intrinsic motivation tended to decrease, whereas when verbal reinforcement and positive feedback were used to increase.

A Path-Goal Theory of Leader Effectiveness

TL;DR: In this article, an explanation of the effects of leader behavior on subordinate satisfaction, motivation, and performance is presented, derived from a path-goal theory of motivation, which specifies some of the situational moderators on which the effect of specific leader behaviors are contingent.
