The assignment was: “Lawler advises paying the individual instead of the job, and asserts that pay for performance should focus on collective performance more than individual performance. Do you agree or disagree? State your position and have academic sources in support.”

There are MANY ways you can address this. Your grade will depend on how well you can support your position, though you should address both sides of the argument.

The headings provided are merely some suggestions. Change whatever you wish to so you can support your positions. The first person is only allowed on the last section in which you are stating your personal opinion.
