>>...but are the incentives for performance the same?

It's all relative. The basic incentive for performance is supposed to be continuation of employment, benefits, pay raises, and opportunities for advancement. Incentives should be a "tip" for performance. All too often, the value of incentives granted are way out of line with job performance and reasonable compensation. The base pay should be appropriate to the position, with annual raises if performance meets or beats expectations of shareholders and the BOD. It's ridiculous to see the shareholders give away their equity as incentives that are often valued at many times the executive's salary.

Out of the market options are not worthless at all- many of the biotech companies repriced those options at what was almost the a multiyear low for many of the companies. Sepracor for example went down from 60+ to 4 the options were repriced in the 6 area. It would be interesting for someone to sit down and caluculate the cost of option repricing to shareholders, and by the way in most cases this repricing is not subject to shareholder approval.
