description The effects of Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) on people’s behaviour are relevant for an organization performance and success. Yet motivational and behavioural consequences of PMS are far from being understood. This study aims to go further regarding the consequences on people’s behaviour of using PMS in organizations.

The data also lends support to the claim that PMS influence motivation, perceptions, participation and job-related stress of managers.
