Compliance

Ly et al. (2015) describes compliance as "relevant regulations, constraints, and rules." Bohns et al. (2016) examines the response to compliance before and after monetary compensation. Throughout the five studies, it is found that many people do not believe an organization will be compliant without monetary incentives. The results of the studies; however, prove the opposite to be true. "Offering monetary incentives may mitigate these concerns by reframing an awkward social interaction" as a business exchange; however, "a simple request is an incredibly powerful" tool (Bohns et al. 2016). Predictions are made for further studies within "For A Dollar, Would You...? How (We Think) Money Affects Compliance With Our Requests".These predictions include the event of a stranger being more willing to comply with request if they are also being receiving monetary incentives. Whereas a close friend may respond better to a simple request or edible incentive. Employees may not wish to comply with a request for overtime hours without being paid overtime for those hours. Governments, akin to employers, would likely have a monetary incentive to encourage organizations to comply with requests. This is often found as tax break incentives. Citizens are also encouraged with monetary incentives to purchase environmentally friendly products such as electric cars and solar panels.

Gitelis et al. (2017) preforms multiple studies evaluating compliance of communication forms between the medical professionals of the operating room. Electronic forms of communication were implemented within the operating department. Before implementing this technology, compliance is randomly evaluated and shows to be at forty-eight percent compliant. Levels of compliance vary among the professionals including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses. Gitelis et al. (2017) evaluates the increase in compliance in the surgeons of six percent, the anesthesiologist of eleven percent, and the nurses of thirty-eight percent. Overall, the department compliancy increased from forty-eight percent to ninety-two percent. This increase assists the hospital and department as they provide safe and well-informed care to their patients.

Allen et al. (2015) describes the influence of formal and informal methods of deterrence as it pertains to compliance with young drivers and Australian road laws. The informal measures were implemented by the parents of the young drivers, whereas the formal measures of deterrence were performed by the police. Studies indicate that the informal deterrence measure increases compliance in the young drivers whereas the formal deterrence measures do not. These results are akin to studies performed by Bohns et al. (2016) due to the relationship of the parties asking for compliance with the rules or laws in place.

2 Timothy 2:1-5 states "you therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules."

When a company is not in compliance with the laws imposed by the community and government, they are not likely to prosper. Employees exhibit an increase in productivity when compliant with company regulations. Often the actions that lead to compliancy can simply be asked of the company or employee, however occasionally monetary incentives can act as the prize to be won by being compliant to the newly established rules.
