A safety manager for a large community hospital reviews safety reports for the year and realizes that safety incidents are reduced by 25%. The manager feels a sense of pride in that accomplishment. Which type of incentive is being provided to the manager?

Gain sharing is a form of incentive compensation where employees receive a share of the financial gains resulting from improved productivity or cost savings. While the safety manager may contribute to the hospital's success, there is no mention of a financial incentive or sharing of gains in this scenario, which makes this option incorrect.

An extrinsic bonus involves tangible rewards such as cash bonuses, gifts, or other material incentives given to employees for achieving specific performance goals. Since the manager's pride stems from the accomplishment itself rather than a monetary reward, this option does not apply.

Performance incentives typically refer to programs that reward employees based on specific performance metrics with external rewards. Although the manager's pride is related to performance, the lack of an external reward means this description does not fit the context of the scenario.
