Which statement accurately describes the relationship between pay and performance? Pay improves performance for all employees and all the job tasks they perform, particularly nonroutine tasks that require creativity. Pay is a powerful motivator provided the same pay and rewards system is used throughout a business, regardless of job titles or duties. Pay improves performance, as long as the employer makes clear to employees how their performance can result in payouts. Pay is a powerful motivator if meaningful rewards, a type of objective measuring, or a sound performance management system are in place
