Keeping your participation in the bi-weekly paycheck club used to be incentive enough but not so much anymore.  Obviously not every job, in fact most jobs, would not work on a commission basis.  Works great with sales but not so much with most others.  As I said, it can work with jobs that are easy to judge performance like consulting.  Not so much for jobs where all you are doing is answering the phone or filling out forms or whatever.  The primary reason I liked consulting was I was the master of my own universe.  If I stayed billable and had clients I not only had job security but also was sought after by the competition so my compensation had to keep up.  Most jobs are not like that at all and there is no easy way to judge performance, let alone tie that performance to some incentive-based compensation system.  Those are the kind of jobs that need to be closely supervised and working from home is the antithesis of that......
