Disincentive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A disincentive is something that discourages an individual or an organization from behaving in a certain way. Disincentives may fall within the scope of economics, social issues or politics.[citation needed] For comparison, incentives encourage behaving in a desirable way.
Economic disincentives are any factors that demotivate an individual from following a particular path. For example, if pay for a particular task is too low, that prospective employee may choose to avoid following that particular employment route.[1] Similarly, if an individual has a particular medical issue and the employer is unable or unwilling to accommodate his or her impediment, that individual will choose to look elsewhere for work.[2]
